"Oceana" arrives and "Aurora" departs from Southampton Docks - 16/12/2017

An unusual sight on Saturday 16th December 2017 with three ships in Southampton Docks in a small time period. "Aurora" had spent the day moored at the Mayflower Cruise Terminal whilst "Arcadia" had been at the Ocean Cruise Terminal and "Oceana" had been undergoing sea-trials following her refit in Hamburg. In this video we see "Oceana" arriving back from the trials sailing up past "Arcadia" and "Aurora" saluting with both. As she made her way to the turning triangle, "Aurora" slipped her moorings and departed on her 3-night mini-cruise to Zeebrugge allowing "Oceana" to dock at the Mayflower Cruise Terminal in readiness for her 12-night post-refit cruise to the Canary Islands. "Arcadia" was originally listed to depart at 16:30pm on a 24-night Christmas and New Year cruise to Spain and the Caribbean. However, due to an unknown delay she didn't depart until 20:20pm. Viewed from the Town Quay.
