Carnival Corporation & plc group has decided to return the 2001 built Adonia of 30,277 gross tons to P&O Cruises in the UK from Fathom, the US based social impact travel brand of the group, which has operated it since last year.

“As the Fathom experience has been expanded across many Carnival brands sailing to the Dominican Republic and beyond, we are pleased to let you know that we have Adonia, our well loved small ship, sailing a range of discovery itineraries from June 2017. These will be on general sale from December 8, 2016,” said Michele Andjel, PR director of P&O Cruises in Southampton, in a written response emailed to Cruise Business Online.

However, she did not comment on a report on Cruise Week that the Carnival group would seek to use a Fantasy class ship of its Carnival Cruise Line brand on cruises to Cuba, where Adonia has called under the Fathom house flag.
