After an eight and a half hour call in Funchal, looking nice as always and at this occasion, dressed overall, ORIANA left at about half 3 pm inbound her homeport of Southampton.
Also the spanish operated ship ATLANTIC STAR former FAIRSKY and SKY PRINCESS, visited Funchal that day on her last call of the atlantic operation she was undertaking that Summer based in Lisbon. Being a GTS ship, the high gas consuming coasts were the main reason of her withdrawn, followed by a period laid up in Marseilles. Nice to know she's scheduled to return for cruise service in 2012 as the german marketed MONA LISA II.

"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."
