A Wonderful World on board ORIANA

Continuing of theme of ORIANA's continued popularity last month on P&O's Cruises blog they invited David George a passenger from one of ORIANA's transatlantic Caribbean cruises to write about his time on board their flagship.
Talking about their time on board he describes ORIANA in an extremely positive light saying that-
 "The ship delong been one of my favourites but on this cruise she seemed to have upped her game another notch." and "she still sparkles and every officer and crew member we met impressed with their courtesy and interest."
The whole review can be read here: http://www.discoverpocruises.co.uk/2013/04/oriana-what-wonderful-world.html

ORIANA departing Fort Lauderdale in March during her transatlatic Caribbean cruise.

With cruise lines being increaseingly effected by cut backs due to difficult economic times many companies have been accused of underperfroming in terms of the maintance of their ships, level of service on board etc

in fact recently one Southampton based critic/enthusiast said regarding ORIANA's fleetmate AURORA that   "With P&O going down the toilet I think it's best to adore her from afar."

Thnakfully recent cruise reviews from  ORIANA tell a much different story with reviewers saying that they had  "Another great trip on ORIANA" while another paises the ship and crew saying ORIANA you are the greatest, proof if any was needed that despite that ORIANA still can impress and indeed surpass the floating apartment blocks of recent years.

Another star turn for ORIANA

Never a ship to shy away from celebrities on board for 2 cruises this winter ORIANA will add Welsh classical crosser singer Katherine Jenkins to the list as she preforms for two 4 night cruises on 31st October and 27th November respectively both of which go sale today and will call at Zeebrugge and Amsterdam.

 Katherine Jenkins first came to prominence nearly a decade ago and has sold in excess of seven million albums to date, which has made her the fastest selling soprano singer ever.
Between 2004 and 2008 6 of her 7 albums reached number 1 in the UK classical chart.

Commenting on the announcement P&O Manging Director Carol Marlow said:
