Aurora of 2000
 
Aurora Page 3: Aurora Exterior Photos

 

Aurora is P&O Cruises' newest ship, which entered service on Monday 1st May 2000, when she left on a maiden cruise to the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, this cruise was terminated after 18 hours due to overheating propeller shaft bearings. After repairs at Hamburg, the second and third "maiden cruises" to the Canaries and Lisbon took place without further problems. She is 76000 tons, and carries 1874 passengers (1950 max) and 850 crew. I travelled on the third scheduled cruise, the 'Maiden Cruise Break', a seven-day trip to Lisbon, Vigo, Gijon, Brest and Guernsey. I have subsequently done two further Aurora cruises, from which pictures will be added.
