Introducing P&O Aurora

Aurora is the smallest and oldest ship in P&O Cruises’ fleet, and that’s precisely where her charm lies. Launched in 2000 and exclusively for adults, she combines a classic feel with all the modern touches you could want. With a gross tonnage of 76,152, a length of 270 metres, and room for 1,874 guests, Aurora strikes the perfect balance between cosy and spacious—a ship that feels like home but with far better views.

Aurora is a ship that celebrates the art of classic cruising. From her tiered stern, evoking the elegance of ocean liners of the past, to her thoughtfully designed interiors, she creates a holiday where tradition meets modern comfort in perfect harmony.

—Aurora is an Adult-only cruise ship!
