Aurora

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475210821741{padding-bottom: 5% !important;}”]Aurora is a sleek, mid-sized ship that’s truly British in character. Sailing to and from the UK, this family-friendly ship welcomes all ages sailing through all weathers with the most sophisticated layout that is a delicate balance of easiness and elegance. Aurora has updated its arsenal of experiences with a 2014 refurbishment adding the Sindhu Fine Dining Restaurant and updating the Sidewalk Café to include a new Costa Coffee and Grab and Go counter. The public rooms have also been remodelled to provide greater seating capacities and a brighter atmosphere.
