P&O’s Iona Enters Drydock in Northern Europe
P&O Cruises’ Iona is currently undergoing its first drydock at a shipyard in Rotterdam.
After entering service in August 2021, the 183,900-ton ship is now undergoing routine maintenance in addition to a technical overhaul.
Part of Carnival Corporation’s Excel-class series, the 5,200-guest vessel is also expected to undergo technical maintenance before welcoming guests back.
The Iona is now set to resume service on Oct. 23, 2025, kicking off a winter season that includes itineraries to Northern Europe and the Canary Islands.
For its first sailing after the refit, the LNG-powered ship offers a two-night cruise to nowhere, followed by a seven-night cruise to Spain and France.
