Welcome to our Aurora website celebrating this stylish and beautiful cruise ship. Her design is based on that of her near sister and predecessor Oriana. She is specifically designed to operate world voyages and embodies the classic lines, comfort and ambiance of the traditional ocean liners of yesteryear.  A superliner with infinite style, Aurora boasts a cosmopolitan air that is combined with the very best of classic British design.

Aurora, the goddess of the Dawn in mythologies as disparate as Greek, Melanesian and Slavonic, is an apt name for a ship launched at the beginning of a new Millennium. She heralded the dawning of a new era in cruising by providing a world-class cruise experience on a superliner built specifically for Britain.

In 2000 she made her spectacular entrance into her homeport of Southampton escorted by the Tall Ships. She was then named in a lavish ceremony on the 27th April 2000 by Her Royal Highness Princess Anne, The Princess Royal. Today she continues to sail for P&O Cruises and remains a firm favourite with the British cruise market.

This website aims to record the history of this fine cruise liner and act as a virtual home to honour and celebrate this fine ship. We hope you enjoy this website and when you leave we hope you will visit again soon.
