Iona has the same at the stern for the Coral and Pearl restaurants.

The 2 main dining rooms behind the glass. Arvia only has 2xMDR and Iona currently 4.

Now have a cruise booked on her for 2024.

Thanks for the update. We are on a trip to the Papenburg shipyard on 7th July (from a Saga Spirit of Discovery cruise calling at Emden). Hopefully Arvia will still be there.

That would be a great trip, regardless of what they are building.  One day I will go there.

Social media drop from P&O today, but do predate the Meyer Werft webcam above from the 13th June.  As she has been floated towards the door and the latest Carnival ship is being constructed in the dry dock.

They weld around the outline of the lettering so as to make it easier to repaint the name in the future. the skirt is the stencil.

Sorry,I didn't mean to fat shame a ship.

Visited the Meyer Werft shipyard at Papenburg earlier today (from a cruise on Saga’s Spirit of Discovery which was also built there) and it really is a fascinating place. Hall 6 is massive and is apparently the largest covered dry dock in the world. There wasn’t a brilliant view of Arvia from the galleries we were able to visit, but we could see that the part of the promenade deck that goes round the atrium is yet to be attached (perhaps this is done once she has been floated out). Carnival Jubilee is being constructed next to Arvia and is in the foreground of the Arvia pictures. The guide suggested that Arvia would be floated out next month (August) to the basin and that the transit down the River Elms would be September or October. Anyway, here’s a few pics (including models of Iona and Oriana).

August float out and October Ems transfer are the dates I've heard so far.

Cheers for the update.  Would love to visit there one day.

Booked for Sep 23, very good OBC deal. First for Arvia, already cruised Iona three times and two more booked. I like these ships.

Us too, two more booked on Iona and a med trip on Arvia in 2024.

We just booked for Aug 23. Got a better deal for two weeks round trip southamption then was on offer for royal Caribbean 1 week out of Barcelona (flights and transfers included). Exciting to try P&O again and a new ship.
