The M.S. "OCEANA" is the fourth largest ship of the current P&O CRUISES fleet, the ship was built by FINCANTIERI and has a GT of just over 77.000, she started her seagoing life as the OCEAN PRINCESS operated by PRINCESS CRUISES back in 2000, just after two years she was incorporated on the P&O CRUISES fleet and renamed "OCEANA", I remember thinking comparing her to ORIANA and AURORA that she had a futuristic profile, today she looks dated compared to new cruise ships, maybe we will see her as classic in ten years time, photos taken at Calshot on the 3rd September
Another batch of great photos, with the light peeking to OCEANA.
ReplyDeleteModern than ORIANA and AURORA indeed but still not so handsome as her older fleetmates. The modern/classic mix wasn't so sucessful in this case.
However nowadays we can consider OCEANA a true classic if compared to the sea mammoths OASIS and ALLURE OF THE SEAS!

Thanks João
ReplyDeletegreat comment, you are completely right, still was so enjoyable to watch, I was waiting to photograph the ORIANA the following day, guess what... It rained all day, so that was the setback of the week
All the best
