LIFE ON BOARD: Great memories are on the menu
SPENDING time on Iona is all about the freedom to do things your way, when you want and with whoever you want – and that goes for mealtimes, too.
The first ship in the P&O Cruises fleet dedicated exclusively to Freedom Dining (a style of dining that enables you to dine anytime between 6pm and 9.30pm each night), Iona offers guests the flexibility to dine as a couple, with family or alongside new-found friends at their convenience. At peak times, enjoy a relaxed aperitif and a pager will alert you when your table is ready.
With 17 different venues to choose from, including eight speciality restaurants, there’s something for everyone, whatever your mood may be, day or night.
P&O Cruises is passionate about food and knows that mealtimes are about nourishing the soul as well as simply fuelling the body. So, it has collaborated with a trio of Food Heroes to tantalise taste buds at every turn. Michelin-starred chef-restaurateur Marco Pierre White, master patissier Eric Lanlard and wine connoisseur Olly Smith all agree that food is at the heart of every great holiday, so great memories are always on the menu.
Begin your days with breakfast in one of six different venues, then embark on a culinary journey every day of your cruise, tucking into hearty pub fare at The Keel and Cow gastropub, Caribbean and American dishes at The Beach House or
