Thanks that worked nicely.  As already mentioned the couple are clearly forming the letter A, must be something in that.  Probably the first letter, which means molecrochip's mention of Oceana being the favorite would not be likely.  Just googled sun gods and got loads but do not see anything likely.  I will find out tomorrow.

What's a sunship - not heard that expression before.

Ship designed purely for sun destinations, so not the Baltic, Iceland etc.

Probably means it will have open decks and maybe water slides, rather than a Sky Dome.

Back in the 70,s if you were naughty my company sent you to work in the middle East. Folks go there on holiday now. No idea why.

Naughty people where I worked were sent to Nigeria.  No I didn't get sent there 😀😀

Sunnia 😉😂. From a corporate point of view, personally I would prefer P&O not to base her in Dubai for the reasons in several earlier posts and their general disregard for human rights. On a purely personal level, it doesn't matter to me where they place her as she's not going to be to my taste.

How about Olympia   though there is a celestyal olympia?

 

The copper double measure rum jigger   shown in clear focus

in the clip comes up in a search for olympia rum jigger but may be a

trade name.

I reckon the name might be Isla... similar to Iona in being a Scottish island and apparently means ‘bright as sun’... it also means Island in Spanish so if it’s heading to the Caribbean then that may work for them.. 

I reckon the name with be Skye as in Isle of Skye to compliment the Iona name. 

 

Your best ship name was Adonia. I really loved that name. I saw it sailing out of Lisbon once.

Yes or Andromeda. You do know there is the Carnival Fantasy and Magic and Disney Fantasy and Magic. It is not like a line would sue for taking the name of the ship.

Your? I wish it was my ship, I’d love to own one hahaha! 
 

I don’t think P&O will sway from ending the name in A with a sister ship.

There's also an 'A' on the side of a boat, shown early in that video:

 

[alija1960]

sorry just post this under the wrong topic:

 

Could be 'Allegra' meaning - happy and joyful.

 

Picture showing two 'A's' one for start and end of name and also people's legs so sort of fits in 🤔

I'm still saying Aruba, sure the name has a connection with the word shell somewhere from the past and there is a large shell on the beach at the end of the video.

[wowzz]

Interesting to see that well known cruise destination, Sandbanks,  shown in the video!

And, naming a ship Aruba, is a good way of upsetting every other other island in the Caribbean.  Sheer diplomatic nincompoopery!

I still think a Scottish / Celtic connection for Iona’s sister, possibly starting and finishing with an ‘A’. I can’t think of anything although Alba is an old name for Scotland.

There is Isla which is derived from Islay which is a Scottish Island,It means dynamic, vibrant and bright as the sun. I wonder if Molecrochip may be correct with his guess of Oceana which for potential cruisers is a name that they can associate with cruising (as in Ocean) and for past cruisers may appeal as a name of a former ship, even if they don;t choose to sail on her.

Isla was my first attempt from this morning.

You don't think that naming Iona might have upset countless other Scottish, or even English, Welsh or Irish, islanders?

Oriana is a name everyone associates with P&O and wouldn't be the first time a name has been reinvented.

No idea but the wording annoying came to mind ..

They could also reinvent Adonia.
