With both a cruise jetty and an inner harbour, it can accommodate smaller ship as well as those up to 300m/100,00 tonnes as well as an anchorage point for ships in excess of this.

This month, Canada’s surprise decision to close their ports shocked Alaska’s communities, and has caused significant uncertainty for our small business owners and the broader tourism economy. But if cruises can safely proceed, and I believe they can, then we ought to be doing everything possible to alleviate the stress and anxiety of families whose livelihoods depend on tourists coming to Alaska to experience our great state,” said Congressman Don Young. I am very proud to introduce the Alaska Tourism Recovery Act to help provide relief and certainty to the communities that depend on a thriving tourism sector. By the time the 2021 cruise season typically starts, I am confident that we will be in a strong position to allow cruises to resume with proper safeguards in place.

While we will have to wait just a little longer to find out where she will be sailing, in a statement P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said “Arvia has been designed to travel to the sun year-round and to maximise views of the ocean and the seashore from everywhere on board, so it seemed a very fitting name and one which will reflect the experience for guests on board. In a statement released at the virtual steel cutting ceremony, Paul Ludlow also described Arvia as “built to sail in the sun” So given these clues, might we expect to see Arvia alternating Mediterranean, Iberian and Caribbean itineraries?
