About Arcadia

Arcadia is a Vista-class ship that has sailed for P&O Cruises since 2005. Her path there was unusual: she was first ordered by Holland America Line and then allocated to Cunard before P&O took her over. She carries around 2,094 guests, most of her cruises are for adults only, and P&O singles out the art deco dome over her atrium. Ashore in Kuşadası, if you would rather go at an easy pace, a horse ride through the pine forest near Pamucak beach, with a pause by the sea, is one option; quads and buggies are the livelier ones.

Frequently asked — Arcadia passengers

How does pickup at Kuşadası Cruise Port work?

Once you walk off your ship and out through the port exit, walk about 50 m to the Kervansaray meeting point (The Big Ottoman Palace), where our driver waits with a sign with your name: 10:10 for the 11:00 tour, 15:10 for the 16:00 tour. From there we drive straight to the tour start — about 15 minutes from the port.

Will I be back on board Arcadia in time?

Yes. We only offer a tour on days when you are back at the port at least 60 minutes before Arcadia departs. The table on this page shows for each call which tour fits.

What if P&O Cruises delays my port call?

If P&O Cruises arrives late or leaves early, we rebook your slot or shorten the route at no extra cost. We've handled this many times — our drivers know how to compress an itinerary while keeping the best stops.

Free cancellation policy?

Full refund up to 24 hours before your tour. Inside 24 hours we hold the slot and try to rebook for another day. No-shows are charged in full.

Cash or card on the day?

Currently only cash payment on the tour day is accepted (EUR / USD / TL — to your driver). Your booking confirmation and pickup time come on WhatsApp.
