Chart-topper Olly Murs will be the star turn at the beachside naming ceremony of P&O Cruises newest ship Arvia in Barbados on 16 March.
The award-winning singer will treat guests to his best-loved hits as he performs at Heywood’s Beach.
The ceremony, which will be broadcast live on YouTube from both Arvia and the beach, will be hosted by two of the UK’s best-known broadcasters and DJs, Sara Cox and Trevor Nelson.
P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “This is a real treat. Olly, Sara and Trevor really do make a star-studded line up which showcases the contemporary entertainment for which P&O Cruises is known.”

Trevor Nelson will take centre stage in Arvia’s Skydome for assembled guests and will introduce the famous bottle smash moment with Arvia’s yet-to-be-revealed godmother while Sara Cox will be broadcasting from the beach.
Ludlow continued “It is not often that in the depths of UK winter you can be transported to a spectacular white sand, palm-fringed beach in the Caribbean and watch a live performance from one of Britain’s best-loved stars. It really will be a moment to remember.”
