When will Headliners shows change on Iona?

[janem2]

We have become fans of Iona but after a few cruises on her realise now that the Headliner shows stay the same for 5 years (?) Does anyone know when they are scheduled to change? Don't want to abandon Iona forever but we will wait until those shows (and other acts showing in the theatre) change. Thanks

We have been cruising nearly 30 years and a lot of the shows are pretty much the same now as they were back then, that is with a few lines so not just P&O. They do put in a new one every now and again. It is the same with guest acts, the cruise lines seem to draw from a pool of regulars, which is fine if you enjoy the act.

A new show is coming to all ships this year - it’s replacing Astonishing.

 

A new show cycles in every couple of years. Slowly, each ship has been upgraded with respect to video screens on stage which make it easier to roll out shows.

 

When shows change, it’s in conjunction with the headliners cast as they learn the routines etc in Southampton. Therefore, it will take 6 months to cycle the new headliners casts across all ships.

New show is called Unbelievable.

I feel similar about the Iona: love the ship, but I just can’t handle the prospect of watching the bloody birds again 😂
