On Sunday the 18th of December P&O's new cruise ship "Arvia" arrived in Southampton. The largest cruise ship built for UK holiday makers arrived in Southampton days after her handover at the shipyard. At 185,000 tonnes, 345m in length with 16 guest decks and breaking new ground for guest experiences, Arvia is P&O Cruises' second ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas, the marine industry’s most advanced fuel technology to date..

Despite the horrible weather Boatshed Hamble went out to see her in and to take photos.
