Great new cruise ship

Comment

Iona is a beautiful ship, very innovative and full of entertainment and things to do, especially for families with children like ours. We had a very spacious balcony cabin, always perfectly clean and tidy by the crew. Dining options are excellent everywhere, and we tried almost all the restaurants on board. There is an atmosphere of familiarity and courtesy from all the crew. Truly a very good experience.
