Oceana

After the warmest weekend this year P&O's Oceana is at the easterly anchorage off St Peter Port on a short two night cruise from and to Southampton. The days now produce a lot of heat haze and the beaches of north coast of Herm are barely visible.

After a full day in Guernsey the crew of the Oceana with all guests aboard get the landing stage all closed up and prepare for departure. The Oceana was built by an Italian yard and entered service in 2002, and has capacity for over 2,200 guests

Holiday makers get a last view of the ship as she leaves for the overnight trip back to Southampton and a early morning arrival.  The tables at La Vallette on the east coast of Guernsey provide a good view of all the shipping and islands and keep the sun in the early evening of mid summer.  Later in the month Oceana will return to the Island as part of a cruise visiting Spain and Portugal.
