Iona Winter 2020 Deployment

P&O Cruises have just released details of Iona’s first winter season in 2020/21.

During the months between October 2020 and March 2021, Iona will be based out of Southampton, sailing to Spain, Portugal & Canary Islands plus a selection of Northern European City Escapes.  Pre-registration will open within the next few weeks with the sailings going on sale during March 2019.

See the Canary Islands in a different light
Rightly famed for their abundant sunshine and sandy shores, these dynamic destinations offer so much more than winter-sun or beach-based breaks. When holidaying on Iona, guests can leave the sun-lounger behind and treat their senses to a world of eye-opening culture.  The itinerary takes in seven fabulous destinations famed for their beautiful beaches, rich heritage and incredible weather – perfect for a warming dose of winter sun.

Discover the real beauty of Spain and Portugal
Studding the Spanish and Portuguese coastlines, these eight destinations are gateways to iconic sights and unforgettable experiences. Each has a unique cityscape, where past and present play out in a lively mix of architecture and anything-but-everyday life.  Walk on golden sands, take a cultural journey through the ages, set your pulse racing in rolling countryside and listen to the heartfelt sounds of local musicians.

Escape in style to Northern Europe’s most exciting cities
On Iona, you’ll get the chance to explore Amsterdam, Bruges, Hamburg and Rotterdam. These four iconic cities are bursting with local quirks, history, culture, fine wines and plenty of good times. You’ll explore these famed destinations and enjoy two full days in Rotterdam, giving you the chance to soak up the wonders and vibrant atmosphere of Amsterdam. The ultimate city escape calls.

Pre-registration & on sale dates 

Pre-registration will open later this month with Vision Cruise, where you can register your interest for the winter 2020/2021 collection onboard Iona and the rest of the fleet.  Iona’s winter 2020/21 collection will then go on general sale from 8am on Monday 19th March. On Tuesday 19th March, bookings will open at 8am for Caribbean & Ligurian tier members of the loyalty club for the remainder of the fleet’s winter 2020/21 deployment.  Then on Thursday 21st March from 8am the winter 2020/21 collection with sailings to/from Southampton (excluding World Cruise and Dubai & Arabian fly-cruises) will go on general sale. On Friday 22nd March at 8am the 2020/21 fly cruise collection will go on general sale.

Don’t forget that from May 2019, the discretionary Service Charge on board will be removed, which means your customers can relax knowing it’s all taken care of.  Plus there are now more reasons to say ‘cheers’ when onboard a P&O Cruises holiday with four drinks packages that offer unbeatable choice and value.
