🏃‍♂️Hey there, fitness buffs and easy-going joggers! Paul’s back with another slice of life aboard the . Ever thought of running with the ocean by your side? The Iona’s rooftop jogging track lets you do just that! 🌊

👟 Located on Deck 17 (or was it 18?), this track promises not just a great workout but breathtaking views to boot. Picture the vast expanse of the ocean and the intricate design of the cruise liner, all while feeling the sea breeze kiss your face.

🚫 But, a little tip! Stick to the designated track. Sprinting past someone’s sun-lounger? Might not go down too well with those trying to enjoy a serene moment. 😄

So, whether you’re training for your next marathon or just fancy a leisurely run, the Iona’s jogging track is a definite highlight. And if you’re more of a lounger (like Paul), there’s plenty of space for that too.
