This weekend P&O Cruises will be raising a toast to the Mediterranean good life with their new Marabelle Gin Mediterranean Edition.
As part of their special partnership with Salcombe Distilling Co. a unique London Dry with the ‘spirit of adventure’ has been blended into every drop, and it’s going live on Iona this weekend!
Inspired by P&O Cruises Mediterranean holidays and using only the finest ingredients – like Sicilian lemon peel, Valencian orange peel, green olives, oregano, thyme and honey – with each delicious sip, wherever guests are in the world, they’ll be whisked away to sun-kissed Med shores.
P&O Cruises aren’t saving all the fun just for Iona, though! Next spring, all P&O Cruises ships will be complemented by all things Marabelle Gin Mediterranean Edition – and it will even be distilled on board Arvia.
