Joining the P&O Cruises fleet in May 2020 Iona will be the first XL, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) powered cruise ship ever built for the British holiday market. Designed to bring the outside in, connecting everyone on board with the sea, sky and shoreline, she’s set to win the hearts of both our Guests and our people.
