The singer is the music director of Iona’s 710 Club

Barlow will appear on P&O’s Spain and Portugal cruise departing Southampton on 29 October and its Spain, Portugal and Canary Islands sailing, also departing Southampton, on 12 November.

All proceeds from ticket sales for the shows will be donated to Child Bereavement UK and the Teenage Cancer Trust. 

Barlow is a P&O Cruises brand ambassador and the music director of Iona’s 710 Club.

“One thing I love is making memories,” said Barlow. “I think music does that extremely well. I look forward to joining guests onboard Iona later this year to create some truly special holiday memories.”

P&O Cruises president Paul Ludlow added: “It is a real delight to welcome Gary back on Iona for what will be extraordinary performances.

“His love of music which has taken him on so many journeys and adventures will provide guests on board with a unique night of world-class entertainment fused with an amazing travel experience.”

Carnival Cruise Line has changed its face covering and testing policies, according to Brand Ambassador and Senior Cruise Director of Carnival Cruise Line, John Heald.

From Aug. 7, all guests will be required to wear face masks indoors. This includes elevators, shops, casinos, restaurant halls and queuing areas.

“In any (indoor) area where many people are gathered and when you’re not eating or drinking, we are going to require you to wear a face mask, and this is for all guests, not just those who are unvaccinated,” said Heald in a Facebook video.

Additionally, from Aug. 14, all cruises will require all guests to test negative for coronavirus within three days before the sailing.

“That is for all guests, (including) fully vaccinated,” Heald said. “You are going to need a negative antigen test taken within three days of your cruise, and you’ll need to show proof of this.”

Heald explained that Carnival had to introduce these rules in order to “keep cruising going.”

“This is what we have to do, and we ask for your understanding … We have to be careful, and we have to get this right, and we will continue to make whatever changes we need to in order for the fun to continue,“ Heald explained.

According to him, guests cruising with Carnival Cruise Line in the next few months will be notified about the change soon.

The Carnival Pride Oct. 31 sailing will have different rules, Heald noted.
