Still making maiden calls

Nearly 17 years after her entry into service and having travelled to many and varied ports of call around the world she still is making maiden calls.
Most recently 10 days ago ORIANA made her first call at Muara Port in Brunei.
In scenes reminiscent of many other occasions on board during the last 16 years Plaques were exchanged between the ship and the port authorities in the Captain's lounge in front of a painting of the former ORIANA.

Such was the importance of the ships presence in port it was reported in the local media as demonstrated here : http://news.brunei.fm/2012/02/10/mv-oriana-docks-at-muara-port/

She will Daniel, still with many service years ahead of her many new ports of call will follow, especially in Santos, a fantastic place to admire cruise ships. When she debuts there i must mark my place there as well!

Best Regards!
