Goodbye "Oriana" farewell departure from Southampton as "Piano Land" 16/08/19
YouTube Video Descriptionโ
It was an emotional morning for me today 16th August 2019 saying farewell to "Oriana" now known with her new name as "Piano Land", she left berth 104 at 08:43am for the last time to sail out of Southampton with a farewell salute coming from the P&O Cruises "Aurora" which was berthed in the Mayflower Cruise Terminal behind the "Oriana". As the "Oriana" came towards Town Quay where I was filming from the Red Funnel Cargo Ferry also gave her a salute as she sailed by and as she sailed further past Town Quay then another P&O Cruises the "Ventura" which was berthed in the Ocean Cruise Terminal also joined in to give a last goodbye salute to her ex-fleet mate as well. Southampton is now without the ever popular "Oriana" which was a regular sight here, I even had a few tears in my eyes as she went. The now said "Piano Land" is headed to Piraeus in Greece where I presume she will then be refueled in preparation for her continuing journey to China. Bon Voyage "Oriana" & good luck in your new venture, God Speed and keep going.
