ORIANA and AZURA in Saint Lucia

Far from the terminals of their homeport Southampton under the blue Caribbean sky ORIANA met today with her fleet mate AZURA in Port Castries , St Lucia
As mentioned last week ORIANA is at present a 50 night cruise taking her around the Caribbean and USA before returning to Southampton via Funchal, Madeira.
In contrast to AZURA who repositioned late last year alongside BRITANNIA for the winter sailing out of Bridgetown, Barbados on fly cruises .
The map below shows ORIANA's and AZURA's positions in port today.

During the almost 6 years AZURA has been in service she has met with ORIANA on several different occasions both at their homeport and other ports of call,
Perhaps the first occasion was during AZURA's Maiden Voyage in 2010, ORIANA greeted her new fleet mate at sea while heading to Messina.

More recently in October last year the two met complete with new livery in Funchal, Madeir.
