New P&O Iona has left the building at Meyer Werft

P&O Iona was undocked successfully from covered building dock II, into the harbor basin and moored at the equipment quay.

Iona will become P&O Cruises' flagship, and also marks a milestone as the line’s first Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-powered ship in the fleet.

The vessel is scheduled for delivery during the year and will be the first of this type in P&O Cruises’ fleet.

The ship has a rating of 184,000 GRT and measures 344,5 m in length and 4 m in width, with capacity for 5,200 passengers. A sister ship follows in 2022.
