P&O Cruises has released more details of new UK-based itineraries for Britannia and Iona this summer and confirmed all guests must be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 to sail.

Iglu said the launch of cruises onboard P&O's Iona fuelled a significant uptick in web traffic and bookings

The line’s Ultimate Escape programme sees Britannia offer three- and four-night breaks and one six-night holiday from 27 June to 19 September, while Iona will operate seven-night itineraries running from 7 August to 18 September.

Prices start from £449pp for a three-night Britannia sailing and from £1,199pp for Iona’s seven-night maiden voyage. Cruises go on sale from 23 March. 

P&O said that based on the “advanced progress” of the UK’s Covid vaccination roll-out, coupled with “strong expressed preference on the part of our guests”, sailings would only be open to passengers who had received their second Covid vaccination dose at least seven days before departure.
