P&O Cruises revises Iona itinerary amid unrest in France
The ship will skip Le Havre and spend additional time in A Coruña during its revised sailing from Southampton.
P&O Cruises has informed guests that Iona will no longer call at Le Havre on October 18, citing continuing protests and civil unrest in France.
Under the revised schedule, the ship will depart Southampton on Saturday before spending Sunday at sea. Iona will then visit Vigo on Monday, October 19, one day earlier than initially planned.
The itinerary will also feature an overnight stay in A Coruña on October 20 and 21, allowing guests more time in the Spanish city. The scheduled October 22 call at Bilbao-Getxo remains unchanged, and the 184,089-gross-ton ship is still due to return to Southampton for disembarkation on October 24.
According to P&O Cruises, shore experiences purchased through the cruise line for Le Havre will be cancelled and refunded. Tours booked for Vigo or A Coruña will be adjusted when necessary if they are affected by the timing changes.
