Creator's Key Takeaways

Disembarking Iona this morning was very, very easy. We headed straight down to deck six and were able to walk straight off onto the airbridge.

The Pulse on board Iona at the moment are really, really good. We all think that they're really talented performers and they just seem to really enjoy their jobs.

We were pleasantly surprised by the selection in there. It was a lot better than the last time that we were on board Iona.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you are very able-bodied, the cube houses in Rotterdam are highly recommended, but they may be too difficult for some due to steep stairs.
βœ“Wrap up warm when visiting Rotterdam in February as it can be bitterly cold.

Accessibility of attractions β€” The cube houses in Rotterdam have very steep stairs and might be difficult for those with mobility issues.

YouTube Video Description↓

We sailed onboard P&O's Iona for a 7 day Northern Europe cruise in February 2025. This is day 5 of our cruise and we are in Rotterdam on a freezing cold day. Back onboard we enjoy a main dining room dinner and lots of music around the ship. We also investigate how easy it is to get to Amsterdam. P&O's Iona is an excellence class cruise ship, who sailed her maiden voyage on the 7th August 2021. She is the sister ship to Arvia, who is the newest ship in the P&O fleet. She has 18 total decks and is able to carry a maximum of 5,206 passengers. Want to stay up to date with our content?
