🚢 ALL ABOARD IONA! 🌊 OUT OF OFFICE IS OFFICIALLY ON!!
Looking for a family cruise without the hassle of flying? P&O Cruises’ Iona sails straight from Southampton and has SO much onboard to keep the whole family entertained. 💙
This week myself and my family will be onboard Iona enjoying our family cruise so keep your eyes peeled for my reviews!
Here are just a few reasons why I think she’s such a great choice for families 👇
💦 Splash Zone – perfect for little ones who want to cool off and have some fun in the water.
🎬 Ocean Studios – yes, there’s an actual four-screen cinema onboard! Ideal for a family film, especially on a sea day.
👧 The Reef Kids’ Clubs – different clubs for different ages, with games, activities, crafts, sports and the chance to make new friends while the grown-ups get some time to themselves!
🌟 SkyDome – definitely one of Iona’s WOW features. During the day you can enjoy the pool beneath the huge glass roof, then in the evening the whole space comes alive with music, aerial shows and entertainment.
🎭 Headliners Theatre – big production shows, live music, comedy and guest acts throughout the cruise.
🎉 Quizzes, game shows & silent discos – plenty of things you can actually enjoy together as a family too.
🏀 Sports Court – great for burning off some energy (or settling those family rivalries 😂).
🍔 The Quays – one of my favourite casual options for an easy meal, with everything from fish & chips to burgers and Asian-inspired dishes.
And the best bit? There’s enough going on that you can spend loads of time together without having to spend every minute together! 🙌
The kids can head off to The Reef, you can enjoy a little grown-up time, then meet back up for dinner, a show or an evening in the SkyDome. ❤️
⚓ Sailing from Southampton means your holiday starts the moment you step onboard — no airport required!
