Creator's Key Takeaways

I slept so well last night. Um that I even sneezed my alarm clock.

It's such a smooth journey which is something I absolutely love.

I really enjoyed spending the evening with them. So, they made up for the lackluster food in the main dining room.

Welcome to my solo sea day on my P&O Cruises Iona 5 night Belgium and the Netherlands cruise. In this video, I have a chilled da at sea as we head towards Rotterdam. I enjoy a Keel & Cow breakfast, Epicurean Afternoon Tea, a quiet day and a meal in the MDR. I sailed on Iona for a 5 night Belgium and the Netherlands sailing between 13th and 18th March 2025. Iona sails year round from Southampton including to Northern Europe, the Norwegian Fjords, Canaries and Spain & Portugal.
