About Iona
Iona is a flagship cruise ship operated by the British cruise line P&O Cruises. Named after the Scottish island of Iona, the vessel entered service in 2020 and represents a contemporary, lifestyle-oriented evolution in modern British cruising, designed to maximize natural light and panoramic sea views.
Onboard Experience and Design
The ship's layout prioritizes connection with the ocean, characterized by open-plan spaces, floor-to-ceiling glazing, and bright, modern interiors.
- The Grand Atrium: Spanning three decks, this open-concept architectural focal point features vast glass walls that provide continuous views of the passing coastline and sea. It functions as a dynamic gathering space with cafes, bars, and live performance areas.
- SkyDome: One of the ship's defining attractions, the SkyDome is a dual-level glass-domed entertainment hub. By day, it serves as an indoor pool and sun deck; by night, it transitions into an entertainment arena hosting live music, parties, and aerial acrobatics.
Dining and Entertainment
- Gastronomy: Iona operates on a "freedom dining" concept without fixed dining times or set tables, featuring dozens of restaurants and eateries ranging from traditional British classics to international fine dining.
- Distillery: The vessel is notable for featuring the first-ever custom gin distillery at sea, developed in partnership with Salcombe Distilling Co.
- Leisure: Amenities include multiple boutique cinemas, a full-service spa and wellness center, family clubs, live performance lounges, and theatrical show venues.
