Those who sail on P&O Cruises Oriana generally fall in love with this classic cruise liner and come back again and again to enjoy a magical cruising experience. A cruise on Oriana can be as formal or as informal as you want especially when it comes to dining options. These range from fine dining in one of her elegant restaurants, enjoying a Gary Rhodes creation in the restaurant named after him or eating more informally on the Terrace Grill.

Upcoming Oriana cruises where you can sample these delights are a 10 night Canary Islands cruise, or a 16 night Mediterranean cruise both setting sail in April 2009. Oriana really does have something for everyone.
