Iona's godmother is owner and chair of Hays Travel Group Dame Irene Hays. Dame Irene named Iona when the ship entered service in May 2021. Iona has a normal operating capacity of 5,200 guests and 1,800 crew.
Our First Exploration of The Ship Was Exciting

PO Iona ship also has a 0,5-mi (800-m) long outdoor Promenade Deck (named "Lanai Deck") wrapping around the entire Deck 8. It is much wider than the industry's standard and lined up with open-air bars and alfresco dining venues. In the Promenade's forward section are positioned a total of 6x Infinity Whirpools with glass walls facing the ocean (3x portside and 3x starboard). For cruise liner's hotel facilities and amenities were contracted the companies Richmond International (London UK), The Four Seasons Moscow, Langham Hotel, and Sandy Lane Hotel (Barbados). Passenger cabins were designed by Partner Ship Design (Hamburg Germany).
He has since become a full-time Travel Writer, Videographer, Presenter and Producer. Iona will sail to the Norwegian Fjords in the summer, starting in 2022. As I’ve mentioned above, she is designed to let the outside in, and what more perfect place to marvel from the comfort of the Atrium than the majestic Norwegian Fjords? I even wrote about all the fantastic Norwegian Fjords Excursions you can do, in advance of Iona’s launch.

Quite frankly, I don’t know where to start when it comes to the cuisine. While spending time together is important, younger cruisers will also be delighted to know that they can get to know others their age onboard thanks to The Reef. With groups for children aged 2-4, 5-8 and 9-12 years, kids can have fun taking part in all the activities on offer. Teenagers haven't been forgotten about either as Scene is a chilled retreat just for year olds, complete with games consoles, pool and table football tables, and even the chance to learn how to DJ. Dining onboard P&O Iona showcases classic British dishes alongside cuisine from around the world, giving guests a culinary experience that's as exciting as the cruise they embark upon.

You’d tell it how many people you wanted a table for and if you needed a wheelchair space, you’d then have to keep your phone on that page and it would tell you when your table was ready. We tried our best to try as many restaurants on board as we could. If you’re from somewhere cold you’ll know what it’s like to need to soak up the sunshine as soon as it appears.
Night Canary Islands
The original launch was due to showcase that with a weeklong festival, one of many plans scuppered by Covid. The label has similarities to the sunset logo from P&O Cruises and star constellations on the inside. I know as I’ve already had a bottle at home, and a few more G&Ts on board. It’s a fresh gin with a distinctive flavour, which coupled with citrus and apple gives you the perfect G&T after a long day exploring the Norwegian Fjords or Canary Islands.
P&O Cruises' biggest and most innovative ship ever built for the UK market is the first Excellence-Helios Class in the fleet. SkyDome is one of the cruise liner's signature attractions and the largest onboard entertainment hub. During the day, SkyDome serves resort-style leisure activities and offers entertainment and casual dining. The night entertainment includes on-roof media projections, laser shows, aerial acrobatics performances, DJ disco parties, theatrical productions, movies (on a large LED screen). With a choice of 30 venues, many of which open from early morning until late at night, guests enjoy the widest ever selection of spots to eat and drink onboard a ship built exclusively for the British cruise market. The new venues join P&O Cruises favorites, such as The Glass House, Epicurean, Sindhu and Brodie's among a long list of cafes, bars, self-service choices, and restaurants.
This function is handy if you're travelling with a young child and you want to continue your evening after you've put them to bed. There are two main dining rooms at the back of the ship which I loved and also two on the sides. We only went into the restaurants on the sides for afternoon tea in true British style.
This is the ship's "spa terrace" with several shaded private cabanas (available for rent). The VIP sundeck (accessed via prepaid day- or voyage-long passes) is inclusive of alfresco dining, Spa massages, dedicated staff service (chilled drinks, cold flannels, light snacks). The SkyDome is another 'wow' moment at first sight and a first for P&O Cruises, too.
Two new aerial shows (Virtuosi, Spark) are scheduled for Iona's inaugural season 2021. The pools on board are unsupervised and children under the age of 16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times. Whirlpools - The whirlpools on-board are not to be used by children aged 8 and under, and children aged 8-16 must be supervised by a parent or guardian.
