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.

Iona Dining

—Dining on Iona is an adventure in itself. For flavours inspired by the ship’s sunny itineraries, Taste 360 offers Caribbean-inspired dishes that are as vibrant as the destinations. Meanwhile, Green & Co feat. Mizuhana caters to plant-based foodies with creative, sustainable dishes packed with fresh, bold flavours.

—These are just a couple of standouts from Iona’s fantastic line-up of dining options, which span everything from laid-back bites to sophisticated, fine dining. Whether you’re trying something adventurous or sticking to a comforting classic, every meal onboard is designed to be a highlight of your trip.
