Your floating resort

A moment many of us have been waiting for has finally arrived. During a formal handover ceremony with the Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, we officially welcomed Iona to the P&O Cruises fleet.

As the first British cruise ship to be powered by liquefied natural gas (LNG), Iona is our greenest, largest and most innovative ship yet. And she has a host of surprises in store.

With Iona's luminous glass-roofed SkyDome, on-board gin distillery and whole world of dining and entertainment on board, we can hardly wait to share her with you. We now eagerly look forward to Iona's new maiden season in Northern Europe and Spain, Portugal and the Canary Islands...
