When launched in 1995 ORIANA built on and continued the traditions of her owners P&O, even the destinations of her maiden voyage were a reflection of the company's past, in its earliest days P&O had ran mail services from the British mainland to the Iberian peninsular calling at Vigo and Lisbon among others.
From here the company also offered journeys down to Madeira and then onwards to Gibraltar,
It is for this reason that the house flag which ORIANA and her fleetmates fly comprises of the colours of flags from Portugal and Spain as they appeared in the the 1830s.

The Flags of Spain and Portugal in 1830s and P&Os house flag.
From here the company would grow to include calls throughout the Mediterranean, Asia and eventually all the way to Australia and New Zealand. ORIANA can truly boast that when on a circumnavigation of the world she is on P&Os line voyage, flying proudly her flag and P&Os history in the many and varied ports that she'll visit.
