Oriana combines comfort with classic features such as teak decks, a tiered stern and a stunning atrium with a Tiffany glass ceiling. The 69,153 tonne ship can accommodate 1,870 passengers and 760 crew.

Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

– Cruise Critic 

“Overall the ship appeared to be well run and maintained. My wife and I were a little surprised by this as the ship was due to go into dock in a month or so for a major refit, yet apart from some rather worn areas of carpet the ship looked to be in excellent condition. We have been on many ships which were not due for refurbishment, but were in a much worse condition than the Oriana. We have already booked another Oriana cruise. ” – Deck Cargo
