Aboard Iona with P&O Cruises
Cruise Overview
Lying near the head of Southampton Water, a peninsula between the estuaries of the Rivers Test and Itchen, Southampton is Britain’s largest cruise port.
It has been one of England’s major ports since the Middle Ages, when it exported wool and hides from the hinterland and imported wine from Bordeaux.
The city suffered heavy damage during World War Two and as a result the centre has been extensively rebuilt, but there are still some interesting medieval buildings including the Bargate, one of the finest city gatehouses in England.
Hamburg is Germany’s second-largest city with a history dating back to Charlemagne.
A major port, this vibrant city is home to art and culture, extensive shopping facilities, Baroque buildings and waterfront vistas.
With its well-known fish market, art galleries and Museums together with several beautiful parks including a botanical garden, this is a city with something for everyone.
British visitors who remember the Swinging Sixties may like to visit the streets around Grosse Freiheit, where an unknown pop group called The Beatles gave their first public performances in various local clubs before achieving worldwide fame.
Rotterdam is a city that's a long way removed from most people's stereotypical notion of the Netherlands.
There are few, if any, canals to be found here nor are there any quaint windmills.
There is, however, a thriving modern city which is one of the busiest ports in the entire world.
