On the 31th December of 2000 ORIANA was once again in Madeira to welcome another new year in the "floating garden".
On a Canary Isles cruise, she arrived at early morning from Tenerife, and immediatly moored at berth 3 of the harbour, as it's usual in every new year's eve she spends with us.
As the day was slowly moving towards the much expected midnight, for the fireworks display, the harbour was getting more crowded with other cruise ships with the same idea, and so joining ORIANA in this magnificent event. With her in port that day were Thomson's now retired and scrapped THE TOPAZ, BLACK WATCH and FLAMENCO occupying all the berths available in port. On the anchorage SAGA ROSE, MELODY, ARKONA and the MAXIM GORKIY, whose arrival happened by early evening, were also present.
After the prestigious fireworks, the delight for thousands of tourists every year, ORIANA left Funchal at fourty past midnight inbound the northern spanish port of Vigo, on her way back home.
