"It takes its sister ship Iona’s design aesthetic and general arrangement but provides new and exciting outside and inside spaces which make the most of Arvia’s deployment to the Caribbean and the Mediterranean."
The line is now preparing the ship to welcome guests for its maiden cruise on 23 December, before it departs for the Caribbean on 6 January 2023 for a winter season from Barbados.
