Memories of ORIANA in Tenerife

Our friend Antonio Saez sent us these beautiful images of ORIANA in Tenerife's main port of Santa Cruz, during a call the P&O cruise liner did on 11th May of 2010.
The harbour of Santa Cruz is home for several ferries that run daily crossings between the islands of the Canaries archipelago. Something we can notice as ORIANA approached on a lovely morning sceane following the ferry VOLCAN DE TAMADABA as one of Fred Olsen Express's fast ferries the Hsc BENCOMO was leaving.

With the pilot onboard ORIANA turned hard to port performing a circle manouver then to enter the harbour on that same orientation.
To conclude some appropriate images of her departure later that afternoon, with ORIANA heading astern until reaching the turning point where she swung to portside and proceeded with her cruise.
