P&O Cruises are holding a festival at sea on their new ship Iona

P&O Cruises are launching their new ship Iona in May and to mark the ship’s arrival they will be holding a week-long festival at sea next summer.

From Saturday, July 4, 2020, the UK’s greenest and most contemporary ship will host some of today’s biggest music artists; DJs; TV comedians and entertainers, as it sails to the awe-inspiring Norwegian Fjords from Southampton.

The Ionafest line-up already includes Grammy award-winners Clean Bandit and legendary DJs including four-time MOBO winner Trevor Nelson, MBE; radio presenters Jo Whiley and Sara Cox, as well as Blur’s Alex James.

Already featuring one of the top music and ‘as seen on TV’ entertainment rosters of the year, the festival headliner and final full show line-up will be announced closer to the sailing date.

Performers will play across the ship’s seven venues whilst the main stage will allow guests to dance beneath the stars under the Iona’s impressive SkyDome glass roof.

Ionafest can be booked from 10 am on Monday, December 9, 2019, at pocruises.com.
