Prices from &pound;6,999* per person.<br />&bull; 44-night cruise sailing from Southampton to Los Angeles. Prices from &pound;4,399* per person.<br />&bull; 45-night cruise from Los Angeles to Southampton. Prices from &pound;4,599* per person.<br /><br />P&amp;O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow, said: <br /><br />&ldquo;Alaska is one of life's "must see" destinations and research tells us that our passengers agree. Arcadia will not only be visiting the &lsquo;classic&rsquo; Alaskan ports but also some lesser known ports for our passengers to explore. This cruise combines the excitement and vibrancy of the greatest US cities such as New York, LA and Vancouver, with the vast wilderness and unexplored landscapes of Alaska. One day they could be shopping on Rodeo Drive and on another they could be seeing the world's greatest glaciers from a helicopter.<br /><br />"P&amp;O Cruises is the only cruise line offering Alaska as an ex UK option and combining it with the East and West coasts of the US makes a contrasting and enticing itinerary. Taking Arcadia to Alaska and following in the wake of her namesake, forty years on, fulfils a longtime ambition for us."<br /><br />With three holiday options adult-only Arcadia&rsquo;s Alaskan voyage offers travellers exceptional value for money options such as Early Bird Savings of up to &pound;1,300, cruise only fares and &pound;250 free on board spending money**.<br /><br />The full itinerary is as follows:<br /><br />Tuesday 12 April 2011 Southampton<br />Friday 15 April 2011 Madeira<br />Thursday 21 April 2011 Antigua<br />Friday 22 April 2011 St. Maarten<br />Saturday 23 April 2011 St. Lucia<br />Sunday 24 April 2011 Barbados<br />Tuesday 26 April 2011 Aruba<br />Thursday 28 April 2011 transit Panama Canal<br />Saturday 30 April 2011 Puntarenas<br />Monday 2 May 2011 Huatulco<br />Tuesday 3 May 2011 Acapulco<br />Saturday 7 May 2011 San Francisco (two full days)<br />Tuesday 10 May 2011 Seattle<br />Thursday 12 May 2011 Ketchikan<br />Friday 13 May 2011 Juneau (full day and evening)<br />Saturday 14 May 2011 Yakutat Bay<br />Sunday 15 May 2011 College Fjord<br />Monday 16 May 2011 Whittier<br />Wednesday 18 May 2011 Skagway<br />Thursday 19 May 2011 Sitka<br />Friday 20 May 2011 Tracy Arm<br />Sunday 22 May 2011 Victoria<br />Monday 23 May 2011 Vancouver<br />Thursday 26 May 2011 Los Angeles<br />Tuesday 31 May 2011 Puerto Quetzal<br />Friday 3 June 2011 transit Panama Canal<br />Sunday 5 June 2011 Roatan<br />Monday 6 June 2011 Cozumel<br />Wednesday 8 June 2011 Port Everglades<br />Thursday 9 June 2011 Port Canaveral<br />Friday 10 June 2011 Charleston<br />Sunday 12 June 2011 New York (two full days)<br />Tuesday 14 June 2011 Newport RI<br />Wednesday 15 June 2011 Boston<br />Monday 20 June Ponta Delgada<br />Thursday 23 June 2011 Southampton</p>
