P&O Cruises' Iona is undergoing its first drydock at a shipyard in Rotterdam for routine maintenance and a technical overhaul.
As part of Carnival Corporation's Excel-class series, the 5,200-guest vessel will also undergo technical maintenance before resuming service.
The Iona is set to kick off a winter season with itineraries to Northern Europe and the Canary Islands.
Its first sailing after the refit will be a two-night cruise to nowhere, followed by a seven-night cruise to Spain and France.
