ORIANA in drydock

Continuing with images from ORIANA's crew today we share some images from the drydock floor focusing these photos from crew member Aquilino Chavez.

Normally below the water line ORIANA's port rudder and propellor serve as backdrop to some of her crew

Far from the biggest but ORIANA's propellor still makes quite the impression

From this point of view which is rarely seen it is easier to see the form of ORIANA's steering and propellor arrangement.

With work continuing apace ORIANA looks set to return to service on schedule ready for her Northern Lights cruise, which has become something of tradition for her over the past 4 years.
