P&O Cruises family day takeover ship visit took place on Saturday September 13, 2025, on board Iona in Southampton with 385 guests, including 90 travel agents and their families.

Guests spent the day exploring Iona’s family-friendly spaces, from swimming pools to entertainment venues, while enjoying lunch. The event offered the chance to discover more than 30 venues and take part in a variety of family-focused activities throughout the ship.

Feedback from agents included:

Michaela Farn, Not Just Travel: “What a fabulous day! None of my family had even been on a P&O Cruises ship before and they absolutely loved Iona. Being able to take some of the family on a ship visit was fantastic.”

Tyrion Kivell-Davies, Travellers World UK: “The staff were all amazing and every single member of staff seemed happy and engaged which made you feel at home straight away. I loved the ship and think the visit may convert my non-cruising husband.”

Kiran Roopra, InteleTravel: “I already have some customers interested in booking a trip on Iona after I shared some information about the family day on social media. The whole experience was seamlessly organised, from the time we showed up to the time we left. I loved how friendly the P&O Cruises team were.”
