Some different aerial views depicting ORIANA during her final call in the port of Funchal, capital city of Madeira, on 7th June 2019, as she was about to set her course bound to the Canary island of La Palma.
She is already cruising in the Far East for her new owners of Astro Ocean International Cruise Co. Ltd, as PIANO LAND, based in the Chinese port of Xiamen, and she is already truly missed in the old continent, and Funchal, where she was a regular visitor for the past 24 years.
Hopefully we will see her return someday...

"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."
