The Pier // Cruise Ships // Oriana
This ship has a feeling of timeless elegance. It has a good amount of outdoor space and enough sun loungers for all passengers. The interiors are gentle, welcoming, and restrained and the 2006 revamp refreshed some of the interior spaces and cabins, and added more children’s facilities. There is a good amount of open deck and sunbathing spaces – an important plus for its outdoors-loving British passengers. It has an extra-wide walking around promenade deck outdoors. The stern superstructure is nicely rounded and has several tiers that overlook the pool and children’s outdoor facilities.
