The story of P&O's Aurora and Oriana, the company's first modern cruise ships.
In 1995, P&O introduced the 70,000grt Oriana into service. She was to be the replacement for the long-lived Canberra and she ushered in a new period in British cruising history. Popular from her first days of service, she has become the epitome of P&O style, offering luxurious accommodation and public rooms. Five years later, her half-sister, Aurora, externally similar but internally much different, was introduced. Together, the two ships took P&O into the twenty-first century with a modern fleet of luxury liners. Oriana holds the Golden Cockeral for the fastest ship in the fleet, while Aurora offers an intimacy not seen on the larger and newer P&O vessels. 2012 sees the 175th anniversary of P&O and celebrations planned this year include the sailing of all seven P&O cruise ships from Southampton in mid-July. It is expected that tens of thousands will visit the city to see the biggest sail off in Southampton's history.

Sharon has been writing/compiling local history and maritime history books since 1987. In her spare time she is a keen photographer and a contributor to photo libraries. She is also a keen traveller on cruise ships and has been a collector of merchant maritime memorabilia for over forty years. Andrew works in the shipping industry, and has done for the last twenty-three years. He is a keen photographer, which has resulted in becoming a freelance professional in addition to his shipping career. He has had numerous commissions from the shipping industry and has won a few competitions including one held by P&O Cruises. Has had photos published in maritime books. He is a keen traveller especially on cruise ships, and has been interested in them since childhood.
