P&O Cruises have announced a new, smaller, adult only ship beautifully named
P&O Adonia. With eight classically styled decks, beatifully crafted decor and only 710 passangers this will be the most intimate ship in the P&O fleet. The sleek, charming ship is due to go on sale on the 27th April 2010 and will be joining the fleet in the springtime of 2011, as P&O Artemis bids farewell.
Previously, the Royal Princess, cruisers of that ship will know just what to expect from the P&O Adonia. It will offer a cruise with real charm and elegance. The amenities are extensive, but not over-whelming and the atmosphere will be polite and calming.
The P&O Adonia at only 180 metres in length can reach places and ports the larger super liners can't and as a result will be visiting lesser know and more intimate locations as well the classic popluar ports of call. During summer the Adonia will be sailing from Southampton on Western
Mediterranean cruises and combing ports such as Huelva, Portofino with Rome and Barcelona. During the winter the Adonia will be offering fly cruises to the hidden treasures of both the
Central Mediterranean and
Eastern Mediterranean, ports of call will include Zadar in Croatia, Vols in Greece and Izmar, Turkey.
The P&O Adonia will be graced with a great choice of dining options combining the six course silver service in the main restuarant with specility restuarants onboard. In fitting with the Mediterranaean cruises head to Sorento's for Italian style cuisine or the Ocean Grill for a fantastic selection seafood and great steaks.
The intimate decks of P&O Adonia will include their renowned, signature Crow's Nest observation lounge for the perfect nautical atmosphere. And of course, Anderson's, the traditional club-style lounge bar with fireplace, named after the P&O founder, Arthur Anderson. Not forgetting a grand lounge featuring a gorgeous inlaid wooden dance floor to get the party started, and a stage where a range of after-dinner entertainment and speakers will feature.
