Oriana returns home after refit

A new balcony cabin on board P&O's Oriana

P&O Cruises has welcomed Oriana back into Southampton after a month-long dry dock refurbishment which transformed the ship to make it exclusively for adults.

The re-fit saw the addition of 27 new cabins and the introduction of an Ocean Grill restaurant by Marco Pierre White, now proving very popular on P&O’s Adonia.

The multi-million pound overhaul to the ship, which was named by HM The Queen in 1995, also includes:

• the addition of Sorrento, the new Italian restaurant concept also launched on Adonia, but this time with an outdoor dining area

• a newly-designed aft deck with bar

• refreshed decoration in the public areas and Oasis Spa, which also now features thermal loungers and a dedicated aerobics floor

• and a new look to the Al Fresco Mediterranean cafe.

• Oriana has just departed on a 17-night Western Mediterranean Christmas and New Year cruise, before departing on a 97 night world cruise on January 5, 2012.

 

About Adam Coulter
Adam Coulter was a bit of a cruise novice when he took over the captaincy of Cruise International in 2010. In the past year and a half he's jumped right in, clocking up seven cruises in a year and a half plus a visit to the Panama Canal. When he's not on board a ship he likes nothing more than jumping off to do a spot of scuba diving, preferably in the warm waters of the Caribbean.
