P&O Cruises invites guests to join Gary Barlow on Arvia and Iona for a night they’ll never forget
24 January 2022: Gary Barlow will provide two special performances on Arvia and Iona trips in 2023, according to a P&O Cruises announcement today.
Gary will perform on the Spain, Portugal, and Canary Islands voyage on Iona (G307) leaving Southampton on March 18, 2023 and a Mediterranean trip on P&O Cruises newest ship Arvia (K309) leaving Southampton on April 30, 2023, following sell-out performances in 2022 on board Iona. Each cruise will feature two special performances, and all ticket sales revenues will be split equally between the Teenage Cancer Trust and Child Bereavement UK.
Gary Barlow said:
Music has been such a massive part of my life – and taken me on so many journeys and adventures. After some incredible shows with P&O Cruises last year, I can’t wait to perform on Arvia and Iona in 2023 and pass these experiences on to all the guests.
Gary is one of the most successful composers and record producers in Britain. He has garnered eight BRIT Awards and over 45 million album sales with Take That. Aside from his accomplishments with Take That, he has also collaborated on and produced songs with Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John, and Robbie Williams, among other well-known musicians.
As music director of The 710 Club on Arvia and Iona, Gary’s pioneering partnership with P&O Cruises has already resulted in a number of exceptional musical experiences on board. The 710 Club was designed to fulfil Gary’s artistic vision and features a diverse selection of performances chosen to pique the interest of British music fans. The late-night music venue is only open to adults and provides a chance for upcoming musicians to break through.

They are the only UK charity meeting this vital need.
