Choice: A voyage on Arcadia can offer you a romantic stroll on a beach – or the chance to miss St Valentine’s Day entirely (Picture: P&O Cruises)
It’s the time of year when every holiday company, hotel and restaurant deluges travel journalists with St Valentine’s Day ideas.
So it’s nice to receive something with a difference – a chance to miss the day entirely.
P&O Cruises has an 18-night voyage on Arcadia from Los Angeles to Auckland starting on February 2 which crosses the international dateline at just the right time, so you go to bed on February 13 – and wake up on the 15th.
If you’re more romantic, of course the company has an alternative cruise – a 14-night Caribbean round trip on Azura leaving Barbados on February 7 and calling at the beautiful island of St Maarten on Valentine’s Day.
