Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive tour of the P&O Oriana, a vessel that was scheduled to leave the P&O Cruises fleet in August 2019. The tour begins with an examination of the accommodation options on B deck, including standard balcony cabins, suites named after historic P&O ships, and mini suites. The video then moves to the upper decks to showcase the Oasis Spa, which features a sauna, steam room, and a well-stocked gym, as well as the Alfresco dining area and Riviera pool. The creator explores various social spaces, such as the Medina room, the traditional cinema, and the various retail shops located around the atrium. Detailed attention is given to the ship's traditional elements, including the teakwood promenade deck, the classic funnel, and the various lounges like the Pacific Lounge and the Lord's Tavern. The tour also covers dining venues, including the set-seating Oriental Restaurant and the open-seating Peninsula Restaurant. The creator concludes by highlighting the ship's classic atmosphere and well-maintained interior, expressing a strong recommendation for passengers to experience the vessel before its retirement.

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.
