New Entertainment Revealed for P&O Arvia

Entertainment Firsts and New Talent On Board P&O Cruises Newest Ship Arvia

We know we can look forward to many firsts from P&O Cruises on new ship P&O Arvia, which debuts in December 2022. I have already written about the new dining venues and bars onboard. Here is an update on the entertainment thst guests will be able to enjoy.

New Game Show ‘Wavelength’

P&O Cruises newest ship Arvia will offer guests a range of entertainment firsts, including WaveLength, a new interactive gameshow, virtually starring presenter and game show host Ben Shephard.

Created exclusively for P&O Cruises and hosted in The Headliner’s Theatre, WaveLength will give guests the opportunity to find out how well they know each other as they try to match their partner’s answers.

Ben Shephard said:

“Having hosted many game shows on TV, I’m excited to have partnered with P&O Cruises in evolving this prime time style TV game show into a live, interactive theatre experience. Developed with Triple Brew, who have created shows like The Million Pound Cube and Lingo, WaveLength is designed to be both entertaining and challenging.

“I can’t wait for guests to enjoy playing along with myself and my on-board co-host, competing to see if they truly are on the same ‘WaveLength’, and trying to outsmart me in Beat Ben!”

What Else is New on P&O Arvia

There is something new for all the family to enjoy on P&O Cruises on board Arvia including the following:

Greatest Days

Arvia is the only place in the world where guests will be able to watch the stage musical, Greatest Days - The Official Take That Musical. Greatest Days is an adaptation of the acclaimed West End musical The Band, which features the songs of Take That and is a beautiful story by Olivier Award-winning writer Tim Firth. It will be brought to life on stage by an amazing cast from our Headliners Theatre Company.

The 710 Club on Arvia is a sophisticated bar crafted to Music Director Gary Barlow’s creative vision. Atmospheric and low-lit, The 710 Club offers live music from resident band The 710s with an unmistakably vintage vibe and stylish cocktails.

The first 710 Club first appeared on P&O Iona - you can find out more HERE - and it was such a popular adult-only venue that it just had to be included on new ship Arvia.

P&O Cruises has partnered with Aardman to offer children a range of Wallace & Gromit and Shaun the Sheep themed activities. Children will be able to join in a themed dance class or craft workshop such as making their own Gromit ears or can sit back and enjoy film premieres or Wallace & Gromit’s brand-new show, All Hands on Deck!
