DBE, DBE, DBE, DBE Mrs. DBE will be the godmother of the largest and most environmentally friendly ship in the UK at a landmark ceremony held in Southampton on 16 May 2021.

Mrs. Irene’s husband John died last November, founded Hays Travel in 1980 and has grown into the largest independent travel agency group in the UK. Together, they played a role, especially in the expansion of Sunderland, especially Bath Travel in 2013 and Thomas Cook in 2019’s retail travel agency.
Paul Ludlow, president of P&O Parades, said: “We are very pleased that Irene Hays will be the godmother of Iona, who will be in the center stage with Gary Barlow at a landmark naming ceremony, which will be the first stepping stone on the road to the British parade industry.
“Since the start of Hays’ trip, no one has supported cruising or more travel industry ambassadors. So, in this prestigious event, no one is more suitable for Iona than Dame Irene when celebrating her achievements.
“The entire tourism industry has been suspended for more than a year and has been damaged by events over the past 13 months. We are very grateful for the support we have received from travel agencies across the UK, all of whom are facing business challenges that no one of us can imagine.
“With domestic cruises starting from May 17, our British coastal cruises proved to be very popular this summer, so the recovery is certainly coming, and Iona arrives in the UK, and the naming ceremony will be hope that the cruise department has already taken so long.
“We are also honored to support the Hays Travel Charitable Foundation, which encourages young people to be the best they can perform in education, sports and the arts. Being able to ensure the future of the next generation is indeed a privilege.”
Iona is the eco-friendly and largest cruise ship in the UK, and will sail seven nighttime maiden voyages on the coasts of Iona and Iona and Scottish Isles on Saturday, August 7, 2021. www.pocruises.com Or call 03453 555 111 or call a trusted travel agency.
