"On November 16, 2011, at about 19.00 h, the luxury cruise liner "MS Oriana" of P&O CRUISES was floated into Dock 11 of Blohm + Voss Repair. Four weeks are required to complete the overhaul and renovation work. On December 17, 2011, the „MS Oriana“ is scheduled to leave Hamburg.
The extensive renovation covers various areas. Among other things, the „MS Oriana“ will be provided with a so-called „duck tail“ to improve the stabilization of the hull at sea and, thus, the comfort of the passengers. This conversion measure allows a higher number of cabins and, in addition, some public rooms will also be converted into inside and outside cabins. The pool area will be modernized and upgraded with a new pool bar and lounge areas.
The maintenance work also includes the removal and overhaul of the propulsion shafts at the stern. Furthermore, the engines, machinery and pipework will be overhauled or renewed respectively as well as the electrical and monitoring systems. Finally, the tank will be emptied, cleaned and inspected. Last but not least, numerous minor steelwork will be performed."
The release confirming that the reason for the addition of the duck tail is to allow a higher number of cabins.
