Wow!! What a fantastic video, thanks for posting. We’re booked on Arvia for Jan 2023, she this video makes us very excited :)

I've probably watched about 100 videos on the Iona now before our cruise and this is by far the best! Absolutely great review, pace, you showed things we've had questions about and loved what you said at the end! Thanks so much!

We were on her at the end of November 2021, and I have to agree - she is a special ship. Spacious, modern and with plenty to do, she certainly kept us busy for 14 nights. Balcony room was great and spacious, the food was amazing and, of course, the staff were just incredible. Booked to go on her Feb 2023. My favourite ship of P&Os.

Subarb review. Thank you for doing this! Much appreciated. Warm regards.

16 weeks and counting and we will be sailing, thanks for the video.

Just came home from our Norway cruise on the Iona very big to what we are used to but had a fab time already booked again for October great video very informative for new cruisers to Iona

Thank you, what a great tour. Looking forward to getting on her next year.

I love your work! Your reviews and tours are interesting and helpful. You have a keen eye for detail for the things that make a good cruise. Well done!

Thank you , looking forward to sailing on her on 19th March .

Booked today! Some crazy prices for next February. Arvia next May also will be good to compare! Great tour Jay

A really comprehensive review. Many thanks Jay 👍

Thank you for this. We are on here in 8 days - even more excited now!

Very informative video and one very useful thing to see for the Beachcombers Pool is the pool hoist for disabled people. This isn't mentioned at all on the P&O website and is conspicuous by its absence from the list of ships with pool hoists (also from P&O). Well done guys! We're looking forward to our trip on board Iona (hopefully do our own video too)

Wow, what a ship! We loved P&O Iona, and it ranks as one of the best cruise ships we've ever sailed on - let us know what you thought of her, by leaving us a comment below!!

Superb tour of the ship Sir; looking forward even more to our trip in June 2022

Fantastic tour thank you

On her at the end of this week so excited

Really enjoyed this video, am considering booking a cruise with friends, and Iona looks lovely! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Looking forward to going on Iona 12th Nov. Thanks for a great video George South Yorkshire

were planing to go on Iona for a cruise next year and from this review she looks like a really nice ship. and with being diffrent I see it as p&o trying to be more modern and try to bring in a younger crowed yes its gonna upset the regular crowed but that is progress you cant keep everyone happy if p&o want to get there mojo back then they need to get with the times and Iona is a prime example of that

Your drone footage really is remarkable!

Looks a beautiful ship.. it’s huge as you said .. I’m lost already ☺️ a better review than you gave QM2 .. thanks for sharing x

Top video fella, on this in January. Great info. Nice tips. Keep cruising............!

Just booked this for July. Glad I found this video, shows me exactly what I wanted, thanks.

I was on that cruise, had a balcony cabin on deck 8, no problem at all, was nice to chat to people walking by, don`t know what all the hassle is about them? Was a lovely cruise apart from the weather coming home. LOL

Brilliant and thorough review. Im inspired to go on iona.

Thankyou for all your reviews we are going on are first cruise this year thanks too your grate reviews we will definitely follow your sea legs on Iona 🙂🫡

Hello Jay. Many thanks indeed for a very informative programme, which was very enjoyable. "IONA" certainly makes the ship I emigrated to Australia on back in April 1961, look like a little tin can. Mate; would you mind answering some questions for me please; given that I have not been on board a ship since December 2004 and again in late January 2005. We sailed on the P & O & Orient Line ship RMS Oronsay (a 28K ton ship) from Tilbury on 28 March 1961 (strangely enough this date was my future wife's 13th Birthday). It was what we used to call "The Milk Run" stopping all stations from Tilbury, Marseilles, Naples, Suez (then through the canal) Aden, Bombay, Colombo, Fremantle, Melbourne, Sydney and on to Brisbane. We made Fremantle on Wednesday 19 April, 1961 and departed around 1800 hours; landing at Port Melbourne on Sunday 23 April, 1961. The ship then went on to Sydney and Brisbane. It was one of the most glorious trips of my life. It cost £10.00.00 for each adult and around £5.00.00 for us kids. We travelled Tourist Class and all our food was included in the fare. You might say; what slops did the feed us. Well mate; we had three course meals, some consisting of a couple of Pheasants per person, preceded by soup and desert. One evening meal we were fed "T" bone steaks. All three meals were included that consisted of fruit juice, Porridge/Cereal and tea/coffee served in our cabins on awakening; and later around 0830 hours; we went to the dining room for a hot breakfast of Bacon/Lamb Chops/eggs Toast, coffee/tea. AT around 1000 hours; we kids were served as much Ice Cream as we could eat. Lunch was a Three course meal that was fit for a king. Afternoon tea was served in the dining room at 1530 hours and the tables were laid on with cakes, chocolate eclairs et al. Dinner (we had the second sitting) was at 2000 hours and again Three course meals were served; and at around 2230 hours, sandwiches were served for supper. The quality of food was simply brilliant. There was no charge for food, (all inclusive) but we had to purchase our own soft drinks (which cost us Scots kids 3d, because we knew how to save a penny or three, whilst the English, Irish and Welsh kids paid 1/6d for the same drinks. Adults however had to buy their own beer and spirits. What I would like to know is how many restaurants were there on the IONA? I did note there were some restaurants where you had to pay a small additional fee. Did you have to pay for alcohol when having meals in any of the restaurants or was it included in the fare. Likewise; were there any good restaurants on the ship which included food and alcohol with your meals? I watched your programme on the food service on Queen Mary 2 (Cunard) an I was horrified at the exorbitant cost they charged for meals. In fact, I did watch about three videos (your video was one of the 3) and they all said the same thing. Two videos said Food was pathetic, and what they depicted on film was atrocious. Compared to Cunard, P & O and the other cruise lines were fabulous. Thanks Jay. Sorry to bore you with all the ramblings. Och; last question. Does IONA sail out of the UK only and are the cruises Caribbean or Mediterranean based. Cheers mate.

Great tour. Haven't really considered P&O before but now I really want to go on Iona. I've only done 2 cruises before, 1 Celebrity and 1 NCL. Iona looks fairly different to either of those.

Roll on 2024 when we cruise the canary islands

Thanks great tour

Absolutely fantastic TOUR!! Best I've seen by far. Great music, informative and the drone footage you've took blew me away! The drone footage seems to be excellent on all of your videos, is it your own footage?

Great filming to see everything on the ship looks incredible can't wait for June 2022 I love Big cruise ships and wouldn't go on a small ship Iona is my style too .

The older Princess ships have a superior bow promenade.

Can't believe you did not check out the golf range and basketball courts I would definitely want to see them

Enjoyed watching guys👍🏻 Keep up the great work. Will he travelling on IONA June 2024 to the Fjords in a forward balcony cabin on deck 12 with the wife & daughter. Really looking forward to it, hopefully weather & views will be spectacular, the ship looks fantastic! 🚢🛟🌊🇳🇴☀️🥂 Just out of interest what date did you guys travel on this cruise? ship looked extremely chilled and low key👍🏻

Great Tour 🙂

norwegian fjords 2024 we just booked this is so helpful and Informative is drinks cheap enough on board etc

Excellent, very informative.

Hello Dan & Jay, great tour video, we are going on Iona next year. My question is, what sort of camera do you use please. Cheers Paul & Sue

Omg .. great video & looks fabulous but that would be my worse nightmare !!!! I 4000 plus passenges !!! will stick to silversea , crystal, regent etc ...

Leaving for 2 weeks on Mch 18 down to the Canaries. looks like it will take that long to check out all the Bars / Restaurants.

Just another block of flats. Have a gander at Pacific Dawn/Ambience cruise ship & see how good a cruise ship can look. Now it's all about massiveness & inward looking with all its tricks inside. Cruise ships should be outward looking seeing the world, these ships don't, it's just party-time really.

Great video, what drone do you have, I will be going on Iona in September and have a DJI mini 2 drone I'll be taking

Roll on Saturday 👍 18th

GET ME ON THAT SHIP NOW

Was there lockers for personal belongings when at pools....

😱

Hey. Can you let us know what camera was used on this tour? Thanks

In your opinion, would two Americans feel out of place on an Iona cruise?

Türkçe olmadığı için hiçbir şey anlamadım. Başdan sona seyrettim, izledim.

Can anyone tell me if the sauna and steam room is included in the cost of the Cruise on Iona please

What is the app? Can't tell what he says

Seen this was the FULL tour. Now know Iona doesn't have any cabins

Just came back from a week to Norway and back. I thought the ship was spectacular. But it was fully booked and far, far too busy. The cost was very reasonable; I believe P and O fill the ship and make their profit on excursions and booze. Sounding like a complete snob, my opinion was that the ship was far too good for many of the passengers. Main issue was the enormity of many of the passengers. They were there to eat, eat,eat. There was literally no shame as they spent all day shovelling food in their mouths. Morbid obesity was the order of the day. I won’t go again on this ship but would chose a better cruise line eg silver seas.
