During ORIANA's current cruise she has had several meetings with her fleetmates firstly OCEANA in Funchal, Santa Cruz de La Palma and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria.
On the last occasion to the ships sailed towards Gran Canaria almost in tamdem sailing 2.5 nautical miles (4.63 km) as can be seen from the AIS image below.
Today ORIANA was calling in the Portuguese capital of Lisbon where she met with another fleet mate this time AZURA as seen below, the Crown class ship was moored ahead of ORIANA.
To round off the cruise ORIANA is currently on route to Southampton where again she will meet with her fleet mates this time in the form of ARCADIA and ADONIA.
"As with her cherished namesake and her sister the sacred CANBERRA, old acquaintance will be more than enough to ensure that whenever the great ships of Britain are brought to mind, another ORIANA shall now never be forgot."
