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.

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.
