At present yes, unless I hear anymore bad reports on Oriana. I have a freind who is doing a similar cruise to this on a different cruise line this year so I will also see how he enjoys it aswell....

I went on Oriana for 175th anniversary and didnt like the ship but thought I would put up with it as this was a cruise I wanted to do...

Have a brilliant time and let me know what you think of the ship.... jack :-)

Hi Ian,

Can't wait to get on Oriana & see you & Cathy and David & Esther again. Where are you going on Monday? We are going to the Baltic on 9th June with Thomson (Ray's first working cruise) so it will be interesting to see the difference between them & P & O!

Angie,X303 seems a long time ago and coming home to find we had been burgled rubbed a lot the shine off the cruise.So looking foreward to Arcadia in January and Oriana in March not much else till then.In july going to Maasterich to see Andre Rieu.
Best wishes to Ray on the first of many working cruises, I hope.

Yes ,we have seen them,but what do you do.
Some are one chance that we will never repeat at our age.
We know Norway is very expensive but I expect we will take a few tours.

Superb view of Alta on webcam http://portalta.borealiswebcam360.com - you can zoom in and I think it looks like a Fred Olsen ship moored near the end of the airport runway. Have told my sister this so that her grandchildren can view the Oriana when they are there in a weeks time.
