The first look at P&O Cruises retractable roof SkyDome on board new ship Arvia, arriving December 2022, has been unveiled in a new video (See Above).

We first saw SkyDome on P&O Cruises flagship Iona (see related post here), but this is, dare I say, even better as it has a retractable glass roof, a first for the brand. The retractable glass roof has been designed to maximise time in the sunshine in the warm climes Arvia will visit, commencing with a Caribbean maiden season next winter.

Every aspect of Arvia has been designed to bring guests even closer to the sea, sky and shore, reflecting its name meaning ‘from the seashore’.

Arvia's SkyDome will be a relaxed pool environment by day with entertainment by night, including live music, spectacular production shows, DJ sets and blockbuster movies al fresco on SeaScreen.

Arvia's retractable roof SkyDome, measuring 40.96m by 34.24m, was designed by Martin Francis with engineering works carried out by award-winning British firm Eckersley O’Callaghan. This renowned engineering company has worked on projects ranging from the Bulgari Glass House in Italy to Apple Park in California and its Steve Jobs Theater; the largest structure in the world supported solely by glass.

The SkyDome was originated on Iona, which launched in May 2021, with Arvia set to feature P&O Cruises first version of the SkyDome with a retractable roof.
