Iona Cabins

  • Inside Cabins: These are perfect for those who think of their cabin as a place to sleep, shower, and store their souvenirs. Compact but comfy, these cabins are a wallet-friendly option for the intrepid traveller who’s more interested in the ship’s nightlife than lounging indoors.
  • Sea View Cabins: Not quite ready to commit to a balcony? Sea View Cabins offer a happy compromise, with a window to the world outside. Enjoy natural light and ocean vistas without stretching your budget too much – just don’t spend too long gazing out, or you’ll miss the fun elsewhere on board.
  • Balcony Cabins: If you love the idea of stepping straight outside with your morning coffee or a glass of wine at sunset, Balcony Cabins have you covered. The private outdoor space comes with a deck chair or two, perfect for enjoying a little ‘me time’ with the sea as your soundtrack.
  • Conservatory Mini-Suites: Exclusive to Iona and her sister ship, Arvia, these cabins are the ultimate mix of space and serenity. With a lounge area that connects the main cabin to the balcony, they’re great for anyone who likes their cabin to feel as versatile as it is stylish.
  • Mini-Suites: Sometimes, a little extra room is all you need. Mini-suites offer more space to stretch out, making them a favourite for those who want to cruise in comfort but don’t need all the bells and whistles of a full suite.
  • Suites: Iona’s Suites come with priority boarding, a larger cabin, and some seriously enviable perks. Think whirlpool baths, butler service, and champagne to welcome you on board.
  • Single Cabins: Travelling solo? These cabins are thoughtfully designed with you in mind, featuring all the essentials and, on some ships, even a private balcony. Because sometimes, the best travel companion is yourself.

What’s Inside Counts

No matter the cabin, P&O Cruises adds thoughtful touches to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Here’s what you can expect:

  • Tea and coffee-making facilities (because a proper brew is non-negotiable).
  • Beds that convert between twins and king-size, giving you flexibility.
  • Toiletries by The White Company for that touch of indulgence.
  • A steward service to keep everything spick and span.

So, whether you’re unwinding in a plush suite or cosying up in an Inside Cabin, Iona offers a space that feels like a home away from home – but with better views and someone else making the bed.
