P&O Cruises has cut the first pieces of steel for its new LNG-powered Excel-class cruise ship Arvia at the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany.

 

At more than 180,000-gross tons, and carrying 5,200 passengers, Arvia will be a sister ship to Iona, delivered in 2020, but P&O have hinted she will feature a number of new amenities.
 

“The steel cutting marks an extraordinary milestone for the future of P&O Cruises,” said Paul Ludlow, President, P&O Cruises during the virtual ceremony.

“It is a future which will include two of the most environmentally innovative ships in the world today,” he added.

Like Iona, and all the other Excel-class cruise ships being built for fellow Carnival-owned cruise lines, Arvia will be extremely energy efficient.
