Remembering ORIANA's debut and maiden call in Funchal

As the 20th anniversary year of ORIANA draws to an end, we are very delighted to present these stunning video footages of her inaugural call in Funchal, the first ever port of call of her maiden voyage after the christening by Queen Elizabeth II on 6th April and departure from Southampton on 9th April 1995.
The first video features images of her arrival on 12nd April and a detailed look of her interiors and public spaces. The second short film depicts her departure on the following day, a memorable moment in the history of the port, as a crowd of people witnessed live in port and along the seaside, paying farewell to the newbuilt cruise ship, at the time one of the World's largest, and the so called successor of CANBERRA, a well known ship by Madeirian people.

Videos filmed and produced by Paulo Camacho.
