Our new ship Iona Arriving May 2020
WA N T T O E X P E R I E N C E OUR NEW SHIP IONA? Iona joins the fleet in May 2020 and she has so many surprises in store. From brand-new venues on board, to opportunities you may never have thought possible on a cruise holiday – there’s so much to look forward to. You could ski a Norwegian mountain by day, enjoy a swim with a view in her Infinity Pool, sip a hand-crafted gin from her boutique distillery, and take your pick of 30 places to wine and dine by evening. We’re also working in collaboration with our Local Food Heroes; renowned native chefs who are bringing authentic menus and ingredients to Iona’s restaurants.
You can find out more about Iona’s exciting new venues on the next page, but first, let’s take a look at where she can take you on holiday. Bask in Norway’s long summer days as you sail through the fjords. Wrap up warm for an enchanting European market adventure. Indulge in a winter sun escape to the Canary Islands. And with evenings and overnight stays on selected holidays, you can find the best place for sunset and watch as a European harbour slips slowly from day to night.

Norwegian Fjords
Find a landscape like no other
Iona’s set to spend her summer days sailing to the breathtaking Norwegian Fjords. If you’ve ever wondered whether a cruise holiday is for you, the fjords are the perfect introduction. As soon as you sail into the depths of ancient, untouched landscapes, you’ll realise that some places are best explored by ship. How else can you take in the vast beauty of crystal-clear lakes, tumbling waterfalls, soaring rock faces and snow-capped peaks? You can wake surrounded by the natural world in all its glory and admire the views from the peace of your own balcony or with a coffee in the glass-walled Grand Atrium.

But there’s more to the fjords than admiring the scenery. You can kayak the serene waters of Nordfjordeid; stroll back in time amidst Stavanger’s 18th-century wooden houses; or hike to the foot of stunning Briksdal glacier. Iona brings a whole world of possibility to help you dive even deeper into the fjords. On board, you can enjoy authentic Norwegian cuisine created exclusively by our Local Food Heroes. Taste Kjartan Skjelde’s bespoke sixcourse taster menu in The Epicurean or take a seat for Marte Marie Forsberg’s traditional dishes in the main restaurants, as well as her street-foodstyle plates in Taste 360. And come away having experienced a feast for all the senses.
