P&O Cruises ship enters delayed drydock
P&O Cruises Iona is now undergoing its first drydock refurbishment, which led to two cruises this month being cancelled.
The original drydock date was back in March 2025 but had to be scrapped due to no shipyard availability.
The ship entered service in 2021.
The ship is expected to resume service on October 23.
A two-week Canary Islands sailing on October 4 was scrapped, as well as the upcoming week-long Northern Europe departing on October 18.
Guests booked on these sailings were offered a full refund plus £100 per person in onboard credit.
