Southampton is welcoming its newest cruise ship.
Arvia arrived in her home port for the first time on Sunday morning.
At 185,000 tonnes and 345 metres in length, Arvia is P&O Cruises' second ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas.
Unlike the rest of the company's fleet based in Southampton, the naming ceremony for the ship will be held in the Caribbean in March.
