HISTORY -- The much admired vessel the SS Arcadia held the distinction of being the largest P&O liner to be built on the banks of the Clyde. Her design was in essence a larger and improved version of the early post war Himalaya and Chusan. The Arcadia & Iberia were the last traditionally designed vessels built by P&O and the largest passenger liners operating east of Suez. While the Arcadia enjoyed a reliable career, the Iberia was plagued with stability and mechanical problems.
