Arcadia Page 3 - Interior & Deck Photographs
 
 
 
This page is one of a series devoted to postcards and photographs of the P&O cruise ship Arcadia of 2005. She is the fourth ship of this name in the P&O fleet. Arcadia (4) entered service in April 2005, built by Fincantieri of Italy. She was originally ordered for Carnival subsidiary Holland America, but later reassigned as the Queen Victoria of Cunard Line. Finally, she was transferred to P&O Cruises as the Arcadia (4). A new Queen Victoria of similar design has been ordered from Fincantieri for delivery to Cunard in 2007.

Arcadia - On Board Photographs
 
This is a tour of the ship starting at the bow on each deck. G Deck 1 has the Reception, Tours Office, cabins (without balconies) and the lowest level access to the Atrium and the Palladium Theatre. There is also access to the Palladium on the two decks above. The Atrium is small and functional compared to many modern cruise ships. External lifts with sea views connect the various Atrium levels.
