A month-long dry dock has seen P&O Cruises’ Oriana return to service as an adult-exclusive ship.

The multi-million pound refurbishment incorporated the addition of 16 new balcony cabins, two single cabins and nine inside cabins along with the introduction of Marco Pierre White’s ‘Ocean Grill’.

Currently a popular dining option aboard sister ship Adonia, ‘Ocean Grill’ also offers passengers wine pairing with their meals.

Italian dining venue, ‘Sorrento’, offers both formal indoor dining and a more casual al fresco option for guests.

The ‘Oasis Bar’ has also been added as part of the refurbishments, located on the newly designed aft deck and the spa and fitness centres have been revamped with new thermal loungers and a dedicated aerobics floor offering guests a range of classes including Zumba.

Oriana is currently sailing on a 97-night world cruise and will arrive in Sydney on 23 February for an overnight stay at the Overseas Passenger Terminal.
