Oriana

As it stands right now the Oriana guests will be one of the last to use the crossing by the Town Church due to a change of heart in the management of traffic in this area. Reverting to two lanes of southbound traffic will mean that this area is deemed no longer safe for the large number of pedestrians crossing at this point. This should take place on Monday 9th August.

It is that time of year when summer does not stretch on endlessly. For some strange reason clothes shops want to sell you winter clothing, not what you want to wear on this Saturday, one of the hottest of the year. The guests on board the Oriana made the most of their day in Guernsey arriving early this morning and departing just on tea time. Wearing her new Colours, with the Union Jack proud on the bow, P&O's liners leave no doubt of their heritage.

It's a short cruise for the guests on board the Oriana, leaving Southampton last night, Guernsey today, Zeebrugge tomorrow and then back to Southampton on Monday. With the St Peter Port Pilot off the liner, she will set course up the Big Russell, before turning into the northbound shipping lane of the English Channel.
