Iona recently concluded a remarkable 35-night inaugural Caribbean Discovery Cruise, her first extended cruise to the Caribbean. Scoring an NPS of 55 this significantly exceeded her target of 28. Not only that, a staggering 44.9% of guests went on to book a future cruise with over 1,000 of them choosing to book the 35 night Caribbean cruise on Iona in either 2026 or 2027.
The itinerary offered guests an immersive experience, combining the serenity of transatlantic sea days with the vibrant cultures of the Caribbean islands. The entertainment onboard was extraordinary with both her normal entertainment as well as ‘long-cruise’ additions. The dining experience was also a highlight with a new main dining menu being launched.
Iona’s inaugural Caribbean Discovery Cruise was not her only first this year though! In January she made history meeting Arvia in Tortola for the very first time and last month she held one of the first onboard XL ship Peninsula Parties with a staggering 1,655 guests, as well as a host of Officers attending.
This year Iona has also made significant effort to support charity partner, Teenage Cancer Trust, by hosting a fun family fete consisting of traditional games, a spinathon and Trek the Deck. So far guests have generously donated £3298.26.
All of these are fantastic examples of going above and beyond for our guests, delivering unforgettable moments deliberately and consistently. Well done Team Iona!

Well done to all the team! My parents were onboard the 35 night for their first ever cruise and they absolutely LOVED it! They were so impressed with how amazing the crew are, and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience… so much so they’ve booked again for next year! Thank you to everyone for looking after them so well 🙂
