Hopeless web site.
Hi James, guessing you must have been on a different website, if you visit https://www.paramountcruises.com/cruises/p-o/iona and then choose the December 2023 or December 2024 filters you’ll be able to see the different itineraries which included the sailings after Christmas. Never give up James, never give up!
