ANTIGUA CRUISE PORT COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL HOMEPORTING OF P&O ARVIA
Monday 30th January 2023


A new ship owned and operated by P&O Cruises arrived at the fifth berth in Antigua on Saturday, January 28th.  With over 4,500 passenger and 1,800 crew, Arvia  is the fifth to berth in Antigua, and the largest cruise ship ever to dock in Antigua at ACP’s fifth pier. She is here to stay, using Antigua as her homeport every other Saturday until March. This means these passengers will start and end their cruise voyage in Antigua and Barbuda. 

General Manager, Dona Regis-Prosper, said that Antigua Cruise Port team and several of its key partners, including the Antigua and Barbuda Tourism Authority, the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority, the Royal Police Force, Customs and Excise Division and the Department of Immigration, have worked assiduously to prepare for the relaunch of homeporting operations ahead of Arvia’s arrival. 

Regis- Prosper confirmed the changes that were made to the port, sharing that “Antigua Cruise Port is proud of the work that we have accomplished in a short period of time to welcome Arvia. We have installed a temporary marquee terminal equipped with check-in counters, customs clearance and immigration inspection areas, baggage scanners and an efficient passenger flow system to ensure a seamless operation. We look forward to welcoming homeporting and transit guests to Antigua.”
