Nevertheless it will be the first time she will arrive in the evening, due to 10 pm, then overnighting in port and leaving late in the afternoon on 1st January 2019, instead of spending the full New Year's Eve day in Funchal. Her large fleetmate, VENTURA, is also scheduled for that day, arriving early morning and departing after the famous fireworks display.

Altought the occasion being still too far distant, if it is indeed to happen it will be the 11st New Year's Eve that ORIANA spends in Funchal. Her first New Year ever, she welcomed in this port, from 1995 to 1996, and afterwards she returned in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010, making her the most regular P&O ship in recent history calling during this day, even surpassing her predecessor CANBERRA, with 9 calls made between 1980 and 1996.
