Norway / Fjords: 7 nights

OTHER INFORMATION

Adonia will be the smallest of the seven ships within the fleet. Designed to offer a wonderfully intimate cruising experience, she will radiate small ship charm. Stepping on board will be akin to returning home; there will be a comfortingly familiar feel to your surroundings with experienced P&O Cruises officers and crew on hand to look after your every need. Due to her small numbers – she carries just 710 passengers – Adonia will be incredibly sociable and within no time at all, you’ll be surrounded by friendly, familiar faces. Exclusively for adults, Adonia will travel far and wide, exploring ports the larger ships of today are unable to visit. With wood-style panelling, a grand staircase and traditional artworks, her ambience and décor will be in keeping with the traditions of cruising. Yet being a 21st century ship, (she was built in 2001) there’ll be modernity to her detailing, all of which will be beautifully crafted. Her Crow’s Nest will offer far reaching views by day and live music by night, and Anderson’s bar will feel reassuringly British. In her grand lounge, the dance floor will play host to an elegant waltz or cha-cha-cha and its stage will present a wide range of evening entertainment. There will be a card room with panoramic ocean views, ample sunbathing space and restaurants which range from six-course silver service to al fresco grill fare. And of course being smaller, everything is only just a short walk away. Adonia is an Adults Only ship and therefore will not allow passengers under 18years onboard
