The smallest and newest of the P&O fleet, the newly-refurbished P&O Adonia will take her maiden voyage in 2011. Its main appeal for cruise holidays will lie in its relaxed, comfortable feel and the fact that there will be just 710 passengers aboard.

The P&O Adonia is also an adults-only cruise ship and aims to provide its passengers with cruise holidays they would be unable to have on the larger cruise ships of today. There will be plenty of fantastic facilities and entertainment on board, including a swimming pool, a card room, shops, 8 bars, a salon and a whirlpool spa.
