Creator's Key Takeaways

I was very fortunate to sail on board her just recently and she's an absolutely fantastic ship.

I'm personally not a fan. But some people think they're great.

I really was surprised by how new she was, how new she felt. She had a very nice ambience.

I was very impressed by Oriana. It's probably the reason why so many people are so surprised that she's being retired because she just looks so fantastic from a passenger point of view.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider a final cruise aboard Oriana before she leaves the P&O fleet in August 2019.
Visit the traditional teakwood promenade deck for a classic shipboard feel.

YouTube Video Description

Welcome to my P&O Oriana Cruise Ship Tour. The Oriana has just been sold and will leave the P&O Cruises fleet in August 2019 so come along for this full HD Tour and find out why you should consider a final cruise aboard the wonderful Oriana! Ship's background: Oriana entered service for P&O Cruises in 1995. The first in a new generation of ships purpose built for the growing British cruise market, Oriana ushered in a range of new amenities and luxuries and replaced the much beloved Canberra as the P&O flagship. Today she sails as Piano Land. Why I was aboard: I was aboard photographing this ship for our new book - Oriana: A Photographic Journey ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oriana-Photographic-Journey-Rachelle-Cross/dp/0750989254 ). Oriana has always been of interest to me, as she was the first purpose built cruise liner for the British market and competed with my favourite ship the QE2, she was always on my radar. As she has aged, she has become more and more of a classic and today she is an absolute gem in the cruise industry, a very special ship with a huge personality and great onboard ambiance. Recent news: Oriana was sold in June 2018 and left the P&O fleet in August 2019. This is your last opportunity to see the beautiful Oriana before she becomes Piano Land. This Oriana ship tour: This tour was filmed during a June 2018 cruise. Join Chris Frame for a tour of Oriana including her Theatre Royal, Pacific Lounge, Harlequins Nightclub, Cabins, Suites and Mini Suites, Open Decks, Terraced Stern, Peninsular Restaurant, Oriental Restaurant, Tiffanys, Monte Carlo Casino, Chaplins Cinema and much, much more.
