Creator's Key Takeaways

She entered service in 2000, so 25 years old, but still absolutely beautiful.

Aurora is an adult only ship. Her homeport is Southampton.

So Aurora, even though she is a small ship, she does actually have 19 bars and restaurants on board.

This is my favorite place on a ship. I love a crow's nest.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Come a little early for trivia quizzes, especially on sea days.
If the pool bar is busy, use the overflow option in the specialty Indian restaurant for coffee.
Have a go at deck quots and shuffleboard, even though they're harder than they look.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cabin size and storageThe cabin is compact; pack efficiently and use the under-bed storage for soft-side luggage.
Finding quiet spacesThe Uganda room is a nice place to sit quietly if you don't want music playing.
