Stormy seas for ORIANA

With the severe weather which has been causing havoc across Atlantic coast of Europe it is perhaps unsurprising that cruise ship calls have been affected considerably with early arrivals and later departures in attempt to ride out the passing storms This was the case with ORIANA on her previous cruise when she arrived early in Southampton to avoid the worst of the weather.
Although she did indeed  encounter bad weather off the coast of Spain last month as captured in this video.

Due to the weather and a minor technical problem with the bearings in one of her Propeller shafts ORIANA had sailed at a reduced speed of 14 knots to Funchal, Madeira  where she is making an over night call and is due to depart tomorrow at 15.45.
