It Was A Tale Of Two Cities For The P&O Cruises World Cruising This Weekend.

 

It was a tale of two cities for P&O Cruises World Cruising this weekend, with its newest ship Britannia debuting in Southampton in the UK, while its much-loved Aurora spent two days in Sydney showing off her brand new livery.

Britannia Arrives in Southampton

Britannia’s arrival in Southampton on Friday (UK time) comes in the lead up to her official naming in a glittering ceremony on Tuesday March 10.  The 143,000-tonne ship looked stunning, gliding into the UK port wearing the cruise line’s new livery including the world’s largest contemporary version of the Union Jack.
