P&O unveils new-look Oriana
Oriana will undergo a three-week refurbishment in Hamburg at the end of November.
The adult-only mid-sized ship will receive a makeover of its cabins, restaurants, bars, entertainment areas and public spaces.
Oriana’s main dining rooms, the Peninsular and Oriental restaurants, will get new carpets, curtains and upgrading the lighting and the cabins will be decorated in natural creams, soft greys and teal.
Chairs, sofas, tables and lamps will also be updated with newer classic styles as well as upgraded bathrooms.
P&O Cruises senior vice president, Paul Ludlow, said: "After listening to guests’ feedback, we are investing in updates to many areas of the ship, but what is key is that we are retaining her unique charm and traditional character.
"With her teak promenade and lido decks, we know that Oriana holds a special place in the hearts of many of our guests and so we will be keeping her most distinctive features, such as her Tiffany glass ceiling and other well-loved classic touches."
