"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."

With the publicity surrounding ORIANA's Maiden Season which had been building steadily from mid 1994 through early 1995 it was not surprising that the press would also be reporting on progress of the new ship and her importance to P&O and the UK cruise market.
When ORIANA finally reached her new home in Southampton the televison cameras also came out to greet the liner with the news later that evening being filled with the ships arrival and footage from on board showing what was on offer to her maiden season passengers.
It of course goes without saying the naming day in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, was also to be covered in every smallest detail both in print and also by the cameras which would broadcast the event far beyond Southampton water.
