AURORA

IMO 9169524

Owner: P & O Cruises -  United Kingdom  a Carnival Corp.& Plc. member

The second new-building for P&O from Germany. The first was the Oriana very similar though slighty smaller. Both ships are being built at Meyer Werft at Papenburg Germany.

March 2009 - Angry cruise ship passengers have staged a revolt on the luxury British cruise ship the Aurora after the vessel visited just two ports in 22 days. Holidaymakers compared their round-the-world voyage on luxury ship Aurora to being in prison after engine problems forced P&O Cruises to cut five stops.
It is the latest in a long string of bad luck to have hit the ship since the naming ceremony bottle failed to smash.
