P&O Cruises has revealed its holiday programme running from winter 2027 through spring 2028, and it includes something special - its longest-ever world voyage.
The Arcadia will spend an incredible 124 nights at sea on this extended global journey, with Japan taking centre stage for the first time since 2019.
Passengers can properly explore Tokyo with an overnight stop, giving them time to discover everything from traditional temples to buzzing nightlife districts.
The voyage also includes visits to Kagoshima and Nagasaki, marking a significant return to Japanese waters after a lengthy absence. Tokyo offers visitors an amazing mix of experiences - from the bustling Tsukiji fish market to the peaceful Sensō-ji Temple in Asakusa.
Its longest cruise will stop in Tokyo

You can take in views from Tokyo Skytree, the world's tallest tower, where you might even spot Mount Fuji on a clear day.
Shopping fans will love browsing through upscale Ginza or trendy Harajuku, while traditional bathhouses and hot spring baths provide perfect relaxation spots.
When evening arrives, Shinjuku's narrow streets come alive with street food stalls in Omoide Yokocho and tiny bars in Golden Gai. The world cruise continues to other brilliant destinations like Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore and San Francisco.
The Caribbean's getting a boost too, with Iona joining Arvia for fly-cruise holidays from Barbados, Antigua and - new for the season - St Kitts between October 2027 and April 2028.
