Join us on this Grand Event cruise to witness one of the most extraordinary sailaway events in history. Grand Event cruise special features:
Natural beauty, colourful architecture and culture combine on this captivating 14-night cruise of Ireland, Iceland and Norway with Arcadia.You’ll first stop for a little of the Irish ‘craic’ in Dublin where perhaps you’ll partake in a Guinness or two. Heading north you’ll visit Reykjavik, Isafjordur and Akureyri for an insight into the unique Icelandic way of life, surrounded by age-old glaciers, beautiful lakes, bubbling geothermal spas and natural lava sculptures. Norway is next, starting with the eclectic architecture of Alesund, a town which was completely rebuilt after being destroyed by fire in 1904, before you arrive at the small village resort of Geiranger, which has changed very little since welcoming its first cruise ship in 1869. Surrounded by natural beauty, it’s a great prelude to an evening cruise through much-photographed Geirangerfjord. Your final ports of call are Bergen and Stravanger with their charming timber buildings.
P&O Cruises from Southampton offer easy access and connections from across the UK. Coach transfers can be arranged and with dedicated Southampton cruises car-parking facilities in the port, coach drop-off points next to the terminal and easy access to taxis and public transport, the beginning and end of your cruise will be almost as calm as the holiday itself. We’ll take care of your luggage from the moment you arrive and our check-in is a stress free experience. You’ll avoid flight delays and baggage restrictions and can simply step on board your waiting ship.
