It was a tale of two cities for P&O Cruises World Cruising this weekend, with its newest ship Britannia debuting in Southampton in the UK, while its much-loved Aurora spent two days in Sydney showing off her brand new livery.
Britannia’s arrival in Southampton on Friday (UK time) comes in the lead up to her official naming in a glittering ceremony on Tuesday March 10. The 143,000-tonne ship looked stunning, gliding into the UK port wearing the cruise line’s new livery including the world’s largest contemporary version of the Union Jack.
The cruise line’s new Union Jack design and bright blue funnel were also on show in Australia with the 76,000-tonne Aurora making her first visit to Sydney since her refurbishment in November last year.
Aurora’s two-day call on Friday and Saturday came during her 105-night South America and Pacific Adventure, taking in 30 destinations across 15 countries.
