P&O Release Iona details she looks incredible.

How exciting that the new P&O Ship Iona is shaping up to be one of there best ships yet.

She is the largest ship ever built for The British Market and they have just released some more in-depth descriptions of how she is shaping up including the stunning Atrium.

Iona’s Grand Atrium will boast three-deck-high glazed walls and a contemporary design that brings unbelievable panoramic sea views and natural light into space.

“The sea becomes the hero of the triple-height space; the sinuous curves of the architecture are shaped around it, framing and complementing the views outside,” says Cecilia Vodret, project architect at Jestico + Whiles.

A showstopping staircase will wow you as soon as you step into the Grand Atrium: “The stair, although designed as a fine piece of architecture, is also designed to complement and reflect the outdoor views.

It harks back to the glory days of cruising: a sculptural centrepiece with its sweeping arrival at each deck,” says Cecilia.

As one of the four primary entertainment spaces on board, the Grand Atrium offers all sorts to do around the clock. By day, it’s a place to meet, dine, relax, be entertained or simply watch the scenery float past.

By night, it’s an immersive destination venue, balancing intimate spaces with larger social areas. The space seamlessly transitions between day and night through lighting and sound.

The Grand Atrium offers a different experience on each level- from morning coffee to a lunchtime bite to evening drinks, a world of choice can be found at the heart of the ship.

How incredible does that sound? I cannot wait for her to arrive into British waters and for us to see her in all her Glory. As soon as I get more details will definitely be sharing them so watch out for future blogs on this mighty new ship The Iona.
