Iona

Overview

P&O Cruises Iona is designed to bring the outside in. Through innovative design and unique spaces, she connects you with the sea, sky and shoreline. Iona Cruise Ship’s SkyDome – the first of its kind in the cruise industry – is one such space. With its glass dome roof and spacious layout, the ship is flooded with natural light. Step onto one of our Iona cruises to experience a relaxed, poolside environment by day, with tantalising dining and drinking options; then 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.

Sailing on the Iona offers a fun and welcoming space for families, featuring laid-back dining, exciting entertainment, a swimming pool, and room to roam. Iona’s SkyDome is the place to be for relaxation, effortless dining and brilliant entertainment – day or night, whatever the weather.

Entertainment

When you’re not looking up at our impressive SkyDome, take a look at everything else the ship has to offer. Why not relax on deck to soothing sounds from our live musicians, catch a singer in the theatre, stumble upon a busker, party the night away at The Club House, or embrace the air guitar with our epic rock night in a SkyDome? Or perhaps for the ultimate nostalgic evening, take in the sunset views to the tune of a live pianist in a panoramic Crow's Nest. The soundtrack to your holiday onboard one of our Iona cruises is unlimited.

In between live music, theatre productions, movie blockbusters, and more, how about a spot of rib-tickling comedy? You’ll find something for everyone on a P&O Cruises Iona holiday. From family-friendly to adult-only content, all ages can enjoy our comedy shows. Guest comedians step on board to take to the stage and make you laugh.
