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.
From mouth-watering culinary delights to an onboard gin distillery where you can blend your own gin, P&O Cruises’ Iona is the fleets’ most innovative ship yet.
Featuring a staggering 30 dining options on board, you’ll be spoilt for choice on where to indulge your tastebuds first. Will it be fresh and informal in Horizon Restaurant or chic and special at The Chef’s Table?

A brand new innovation for Arvia and Iona; these cabins let in the great outdoors via an additional lounging area with floor-to-ceiling glass between your main cabin area and balcony.
There’s nothing quite like opening your patio style doors onto your own private balcony, especially to take in the fresh morning air or to enjoy a spectacular sail in to your next destination.
*some exceptions apply
If a balcony is not top of your list, but you’re seeking great value and a sea view, then our Sea view cabins are ideal. Well designed and with all those little extras.
*some exceptions apply
These spacious cabins are perfect if you want a more economical way to travel and prefer to be out and about experiencing the ship or reclining up on deck by the pools.

No, tipping isn’t required or expected on board.
As a general rule, there is approximately 2 Black Tie nights during a 7 night cruise and 4 during a 14 night cruise. This can vary from cruise to cruise. Full details will be provided to you before you travel.
The dress code during the day is just your typical holiday wardrobe. Think t-shirts, shorts and sundresses (unless you’re heading to the Baltic in winter!). Away from the pool, we ask for shoes to be worn and no pool wear in the ship’s lounges, inside bars, restaurants or reception. We have two evening dress codes for guests aged 18 years and over from 6pm: ‘Evening Casual’ and ‘Black Tie’ for our celebration nights. And if you feel like keeping things casual, you’re free to wear more relaxed clothing in the buffet.
Excellence-class.
