Artemis

ARTEMIS

Introduction
Named after the fiercely independent Greek goddess of hunting, the 1200-passenger Artemis is small enough to access ports and waters not charted by larger ships. And unlike most other liners, all 600 cabins on Artemis boast ocean views and a bathtub. Offering a classic ocean cruising experience with traditional British touches, Artemis features three pools, jacuzzis, seven bars and lounges, two restaurants, a cinema, nightclub, gym, casino and a library. Artemis also offers passengers a New Horizons personal enrichment programme with subjects such as history, art, literature, classical music, antiques, gardening and ballroom dancing.
Formerly sailing as Royal Princess as part of the US-based Princess Cruises fleet and originally christened by the late Princess Diana, Artemis beautifully recreates an authentic cruising experience. Charming, friendly, comfortable and child-free, she features all the reassuring comforts of home. With a fantastic array of public rooms and modern facilities, Artemis offers traditional cruising in a thoroughly up-to-date environment. And theres no compromise on style or luxury. As the smallest ship of the P&O Cruises UK fleet, Artemis has charm and a friendly atmosphere combined with a refined level of service and expertise that makes for the ultimate cruising adventure.
All cabins on the Artemis are Outside and feature a window and/or balcony. A refurbishment in December 2007 saw the introduction of brand new 8" Slumberland mattresses, Egyptian cotton linen and stylish bed runners. There are two lower beds  that convert to a king, a bathroom that also was upgraded in December 2007, with small bath with shower and WC; wardrobe and drawer space, chair and table, TV and radio, tea/coffee making facilities, safe, refrigerator and direct dial telephone. Staterooms are larger with full-size bath and shower, lounge area with sofa and a writing or vanity desk. Suites are even larger and feature walk-in wardrobes.
Admire the elegant two-tier atrium adorned with a decorative fountain sculpture and enjoy a stroll on the terraced decks, which afford excellent views of the ever changing surrounding seascape. You'll find a great sense of camaraderie on board, not to mention every amenity and facility you'd expect on a P&O Cruises superliner. You'll discover its easy to meet like-minded people, making Artemis an approachable and friendly ship that you'll want to return to time after time. There are three swimming pools including a lap pool, two whirlpools, spa and salon, gym and sauna, shops and a library.
