P&O Cruises has announced that one of Britain’s best-loved TV entertainers, Stephen Mulhern, will take to the sea this summer with a Limelight Club residency on board Iona.
The popular magician will perform a new, up-close magic show – Stephen Mulhern’s Live & Unbelievable! – across back-to-back seven-night Norwegian fjords cruises and a seven-night Spain & France sailing across July and August:
- Norwegian fjords, seven nights, Southampton roundtrip, departing 25 July, 2026. Prices currently start from £879 per person based on two sharing an inside cabin.
- Norwegian fjords, seven nights, Southampton roundtrip, departing 1 August, 2026. Prices currently start from £929 per person based on two sharing an inside cabin.
- Spain & France, seven nights, Southampton roundtrip, departing 8 August, 2026. Prices currently start from £829 per person based on two sharing an inside cabin.
This summer’s Limelight residency marks the debut of Stephen’s exclusive new show on Iona – with the Deal or No Deal host performing on four nights of each cruise, giving guests a great opportunity to enjoy his high-energy mix of magic, comedy and audience interaction.
Guests can expect mind-blowing illusions, jaw-dropping sleight of hand, and Stephen’s trademark charm. With a touch of mischief, and plenty of audience participation, every performance promises surprise around every corner.
As well as his stage shows, Stephen will also host an interactive, family-friendly workshop on one sea day of each cruise, offering guests the chance to learn tricks and techniques using his Unbelievable show magic trick kits.
Designed for all ages, the sessions will give families a rare opportunity to get hands-on with the magic and learn directly from one of the UK’s most recognisable performers.
Carnival UK & P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow said: “Stephen is a phenomenal entertainer and a firm favourite with our guests, so we’re delighted to welcome him for an exclusive Limelight Club residency on Iona this summer. From evening performances to interactive family workshops, this residency perfectly reflects what P&O Cruises does best – bringing unforgettable experiences on board that appeal to guests of all ages, while offering something genuinely special you can’t find anywhere else.”
Stephen Mulhern added: “I’m so excited to be bringing this new show to Iona for the very first time. I’ve had such a brilliant relationship with P&O Cruises over the years, and the Limelight Club is an incredible setting to really connect with audiences. Being able to perform across multiple nights – and run workshops where families can actually learn the tricks – is going to be huge fun. I can’t wait to get on board and make some magic happen!”
The Limelight Club on Iona offers an intimate, cabaret-style venue with a premium dining experience, making it one of the most sought-after entertainment spaces at sea.
Holidays with P&O Cruises provide value for money with the price including accommodation, full board meals, pools and entertainment including theatre shows and live bands, as well as complimentary children’s clubs.
