Arvia Cabins

Inside Cabins: Snug, practical, and just right for those who plan to spend their time out and about. Inside Cabins are budget-friendly without skimping on comfort—perfect for travellers who see their room as a recharging station rather than a destination.

Sea View Cabins: Fancy a view but don’t need a balcony? Sea View Cabins come with a generous window or porthole, letting in natural light and providing a lovely perspective of the ocean’s ever-changing palette.

Balcony Cabins: There’s something undeniably special about stepping onto your private balcony with a morning brew or an evening tipple. These cabins combine indoor relaxation with an open-air escape, perfect for enjoying sunrises, sunsets, or the simple pleasure of fresh sea air.

Conservatory Mini-Suites: Need a little extra space? Mini-Suites come with added room to spread out and enjoy, including a cosy lounge area. On ships like Arvia, the Conservatory Mini-Suites add a charming touch with a semi-private lounge area that bridges the main cabin and balcony.

Suites: For those wanting to cruise in ultimate comfort, Suites deliver on every level. With expansive layouts, premium amenities, and exclusive perks, these cabins elevate your holiday experience to new heights. Think priority boarding, enhanced dining options, and a sense of indulgence that’s hard to beat.

Single Cabins: Travelling solo doesn’t mean compromising. These thoughtfully designed cabins offer everything you need, with some even boasting private balconies. It’s your space, your way, with no sharing required.
