In 1995, PandO introduced the 70,000grt Oriana into service. She was to be the replacement for the long-lived Canberra and she ushered in a new period in British cruising history. Popular from her first days of service, she has become the epitome of PandO style, offering luxurious accommodation and public rooms.Five years later, her half-sister, Aurora, externally similar but internally much different, was introduced. Together, the two ships took PandO into the twenty-first century with a modern fleet of luxury liners. Oriana holds the Golden Cockeral for the fastest ship in the fleet, while Aurora offers an intimacy not seen on the larger and newer PandO vessels.2012 sees the 175th anniversary of PandO and celebrations planned this year include the sailing of all seven PandO cruise ships from Southampton in mid-July. It is expected that tens of thousands will visit the city to see the biggest sail off in Southampton's history.
