An upcoming meeting for ORIANA.

For a ship enthusiast there is nothing better than witnessing a meeiting of cruise ships of a favoured company for fans of P&O when one of those present is ORIANA the company's flagship it is always a welcome sight.
One such meeting will be taking place in Southampton on the 25th July when ORIANA will be meeting with AURORA and ARCADIA.

Since ORIANA's introduction in to service in April 1995 ORIANA has continued the P&O tradition of meeting fleet mates, firstly meeting with her famed predecessor and 'mother' CANBERRA during her stay in Southampton prior to he Maiden Voyage.

Two years later she met and anchored with CANBERRA in Cannes at the hand over the
Golden Cockerel trophy as the elder ship headed for retirement.
The two would later meet as CANBERRA lay alongside in Southampton awaiting her last sailing to the beaches of Pakistan.
Since then ORIANA has met with her fleet mates in many different ports including some of ORIANA's favouritesFunchal and Lisbon.
