YouTube Video Description

Full tour of P&O cruise ship Aurora. This video showcases the newly refurbished ship including a look at standard cabins, mini suites, inside cabins, restaurants, bars, lounges, the Aurora's Curzon Theatre, the Carmens Theatre, on deck and the brand new cabins that replaced the kids area. Aurora is a one-off cruise ship designed by P&O and built at Meyer Werft in Papenburg, Germany. She entered service in 2000 and had a major refurbishment in Singapore in 2019. At 76,100 gross tons, she may not be the biggest ship in the fleet, but after this refit she looks practically brand new. Join Chris Frame Maritime Historian for a tour of the ship during a voyage from Southampton to Barcelona via Ferrol (we missed Cadiz due to bad weather). Also check out the rough seas and force 9 gale that we sailed through in the Bay of Biscay. *I was aboard Aurora as a guest lecturer* — ✓ Join to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgk7SzYDkiXWWBfMqXYH0cA/join 🚢 Cunard History Website: https://www.chriscunard.com/ 📚 Buy books: https://www.chrisframe.com.au/books 👕 Buy cruise merch: https://chrisframeofficial.Teemill.com/ 🛳️ Join my Substack: https://themaritimehistorian.substack.com/ 🌐 Frame & Cross Consultancy: https://frameandcross.com/ 🎥 OUR EQUIPMENT: Camera - DJI Mimo Pocket 2: https://amzn.to/3XjXwQn Vlogging Mic: DJI Mic: https://amzn.to/3D3idJP Lav Mic: DJI Lavalier Mic: https://amzn.to/4klRgBA Voice Over Mic: Audio Technica: https://amzn.to/4ij8myg These are affiliate links meaning we may receive a small commission from any sales. 🗺️ CUSTOM CRUISE MAP: Made using AIS (satellite ship-tracking) data, The Cruise Maps show the exact route.
