Why cruising is for...YOU!

Stylish, spacious and safe, there’s so much to do on P&O’s mega ship Iona – it’s an adventure you’ll never forget

- 

With capacity for 5,200 guests, those new to cruising – or anyone who’s taken a break from travelling due to COVID-19 – may feel daunted before boarding Iona, currently the largest ship in P&O’s fleet. But the beauty of this 345m-long floating ‘city at sea’ is the abundance of space on every deck, which goes a long way towards helping you feel safe, and means you’re never short of fun.

Space to unwind

Whatever time of year you travel, bad weather isn’t a problem on board. This is thanks to the two-deck SkyDome, which features a glass roof (made by the same engineers who worked on the Bulgari Glass House in Italy). Plus, there are four swimming pools and 18 whirlpool spas spread across multiple decks, so there are no large crowds of sunseekers gathering around just one area. This is ideal for Iona, who only sails from Southampton this year, the majority of the time to the Norwegian fjords before heading to Spain, the Canaries, and northern Europe during the winter months.
