Iona

P&O Cruises’ majestic Iona is the fleets’ newest ship, bursting with unique features, culinary delights, welcoming spaces, and enthralling entertainment.

Iona is designed to bring the outside in. Through innovative design and unique spaces, she connects you with the sea, sky and shoreline. Iona’s SkyDome – the first of its kind in the cruise industry – is one such space. With its glass dome roof and spacious layout, it’s flooded with natural light.

It offers a relaxed, poolside environment by day; come evening, the space seamlessly transitions into a must-visit entertainment venue, showcasing spectacular aerialist performances and playing host to party nights under the stars.

Featuring a staggering 30 venues, with celebrity chef partnerships and brand-new concepts for the line, including an outdoor covered promenade for al fresco dining, The Quays for a street-food vibe and Keel & Cow steakhouse and gastropub.

Iona offers a fun and welcoming space for families, providing laid-back dining, exciting entertainment, five swimming pools and room to roam.
