Staterooms | Deck Plans | Visual Tour: Adonia-OLD

Stylish and friendly, Adonia is a child-free superliner with a sociable atmosphere. She epitomises versatility as, more than any other, she offers greater freedom and choice. Adonia offers an extensive range of entertainment conveniently located close together providing plenty of opportunity for passengers to mingle with like-minded adults.

When you simply want to sit back and relax, Adonia offers 'Easy like a Sunday', the perfect place to chill-out. A dedicated lifestyle lounge where you can relax during the day in comfortable sofas, enjoy the ocean views, read a magazine or newspaper, sip a speciality coffee or glass of wine. Another exciting feature on Adonia is 'All That Jazz' which offers a wide range of live music throughout the evening. With music to suit the time of day, you can enjoy live piano-bar style music before dinner, moving to live warm sounds later on in the evening.

From the crack of dawn, right around the clock, you'll be presented with delicious dilemas. Take breakfast for instance. You can enjoy freshly baked croissants and coffee in bed, sample breakfast buffet style on an open deck or a traditional breakfast stylishly served in the restaurant.

At lunchtime there is the option of a five-course repast in the restaurant or there are lighter alternatives such as freshly baked pizzas in the pizzeria, outdoor barbecues or the sumptuous buffet selection out on deck.

Naturally, being British ships, afternoon tea is a time-honored tradition where you can enjoy all the trimmings of tea, coffee, scones, sandwiches and irresistible cakes!

But the undoubted highlight of the day is dinner; not so much a meal but an event. Five or six superlative courses to be enjoyed in an atmosphere of style and sophistication. The choice is extensive stretching from exotic starters, succulent fish dishes and vegetarian options to a cheese board unlike any other. On certain evenings, themed dinners present an array of cultural delights from around the world.

And, of course, the accompaniment to any good meal is a fine wine. We have wines for every occasion and your wine steward will provide you with plenty of tempting ideas.

Families with children will be pleased to know that we have special children's menus available and even a special children's tea every day, which leaves parents free to enjoy their own dinners in peace.

Passengers with special dietary requirements - diabetic, fat-free, vegetarian, gluten-free and kosher - need not worry either. Just let us know when you book your cruise and we'll make sure your needs are catered for.

But whichever restaurant you dine in, you can be sure of one thing: the menus and the degree of care lavished on the food are exceptional.
Bon appetit!

There are days when you want to do it all.

There's such a wide choice of things to do on board a P&O Cruises ship, they each have to publish a daily newspaper just to list them all. Of course, you don't have to do anything at all if you don't want to, but if you do tire of just lazing in the sun and reading, we can offer you a range of things to keep you busy.

Needless to say, swimming is a favourite past-time on board. Whether you have kids with you or not, you'll be glad to know you have a choice of pools - one is specially reserved for families with children.

To counter all the gourmet calories you'll be enjoying at every mealtime each liner also boasts a fully-equipped health-spa with gymnasium, sauna, massage and beauty treatments on offer.

Adonia, now equipped with state of the art cyb@studies where you can send and receive e-mails, use the Internet and read our amazing destinations guides, perfect for keeping in touch with people at home and discovering what lies ahead.

And that's all before the night time entertainment begins!

Some nights are particularly glamorous affairs, where ladies dress in their finest evening gowns while the men don dinner jackets. Other night are more relaxed, where smart casual wear is the norm.

Nightlife like you've never lived it before. Your nights, just like your days, aboard a P&O Cruises holiday, can be as lively or relaxing as you choose. Once you've dined on our superlative cuisine and enjoyed the company of your fellow passengers you may want nothing more than a moonlit stroll and an early night. If, on the other hand, your night is just beginning, we can offer you a dazzling array of entertainment and diversions.

After brandy and liqueurs in one of our bars or lounges, why not check out the main evening show? And when we say show we mean it. Adonia, Aurora, Oceana, and Oriana all boast theatres and show-lounges that wouldn't be out of place in London's West End and our Stadium Theatre Company stage everything from classic drama to full-scale spectacular musicals complete with glittering costumes.

Wander around and you could find a late night cabaret, a talented vocalist, or join our hotly contested trivia quiz. On certain evenings, the usual atmosphere becomes even more electric. Starting with the Captain's Gala Cocktail Party, you'll enjoy a variety of special evenings. It may be a spontaneous barbecue on deck, the glamour of Casino Night, the Black and White Ball or Carnival Rio Night!

Feeling lucky? Then head for the casino. Feel like a laugh? Then see a comedian. Feeling energetic? Then come dancing with P&O Cruises. You'll find just about every style of dance on offer on our dance floors from disco to ballroom.

Two things that night owls will find most reassuring is the fact that our bars remain open and buzzing into the small hours and, if they have children, that there's a full range of night-time entertainment to keep them busy too.
