If you like it "very british" and are a fan of traditional cruises, then aboard Aurora by P & O Cruises is for you! From March 2019, the vessel will be operated as an "adults only" ship and will only be used by passengers over the age of 18. Knowledge of the English language is strongly recommended, as no German-speaking service is offered. P&O Cruises has been well known and loved in the UK for 175 years.

Whatever adventures the day holds, you will be fuelled-up with hearty meals and delicious morning/afternoon teas cooked by our onboard chefs. The four Junior Suites take in some impressive scenery from their vantage points on Deck 7. When you aren't enjoying a landing, you can relax in the suites' separate lounge area, or just watch the world float by from the private balcony. With a bit more room to stretch the legs, the Balcony Stateroom Superior cabins are perfect for polar adventurers who travel with plenty of gear. Our 17 Balcony Stateroom – B Cabins are our standard cabin, many fitted with interconnecting features making them great for families or groups.
Alternative/specialty restaurant is Cafe Bordeaux (by chef Marco Pierre White) with Mediterranean cuisine. The casual Pennant Grill serves breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea. Another dining option is the self-service buffet restaurant “The Orangery”.
Featuring the Ulstein X-BOW® design, it cuts through the swell for a smoother transit through waves while minimising its environmental impact. 23 years ago my husband helped to build Aurora in Papenburg, Germany. He talked sometimes of maybe having a short cruise on her for nostalgic reasons.
British Isles
The daily changing menus in the main restaurant are inspired by British cuisine. The boat has 13 decks, of which 10 are passenger-accessible and 7 with cabins. Browse this ship using our interactive deck plans and discover our range of cabins and on-board activities. Communal meeting areas have always played a major role in fostering the warm camaraderie on board our ships.

"I was actually surfing on Craigslist one day and this thing popped up," said Chris Willson, current owner of the ship, which has been re-christened Aurora. Clarendon Fine Art Galleries offer a wide range of artwork from leading contemporary artists as well as 20th Century masters. During your cruise there will be a range of informative seminars, exciting exhibitions and exclusive VIP events for you to attend.

Balcony Stateroom Category B
The bed was comfortable, we had a whirlpool bath, a shower and his and her wash hand basins. Champagne and chocolates, a very small balcony and 2 tv’s (which were pointless, the sound was dreadful and so was the picture with a choice of about 6 channels). The flashing lights of the slot machines and the suspense of blackjack beckons, as does a great night out. Featuring the latest in slot machines and gaming tables, our friendly croupiers are on hand to oversee the evening’s events.
There are two Aurora Stateroom Triple cabins featuring portholes, all with private en-suites. Located on Deck 3, they're close to the mudroom and loading platforms. After several changes of ownership and name, as of 2022[update] she is moored in Stockton, California, US, and undergoing restoration. This fantastic cinema screens feature films throughout the day and into the evening. There are 213 spacious and comfortable chairs and good visibility for everyone. In addition to films, The Playhouse is also the venue for classical recitals, lectures, port enhancement talks, and much more.
Located on Deck 7, the Staterooms feature french balconies, floor to ceiling windows, en-suite bathrooms and a comfortable desk area. The Sylvia Earle is designed to support our range of add-on activities, from kayaking and diving to ski touring, the transition from ship to sea or shore will be as smooth as possible. We built the spacious activity preparation areas and loading platforms in consultation with our expert guides.
The ship can also utilise virtual anchoring to hold its position using a combination of GPS, steering technology, propellers and thrusters. This protects the sea floor and minimises the damage caused by conventional anchors. With a fully equipped Citizen Science Center, expert lecturers and a participative Citizen Science Program, our aim is to enrich your knowledge and connection to the places we travel to onboard the Sylvia Earle. He showed Burbank the wheelhouse ("which is pretty ugly"), which over time had been robbed of some of its nautical gear. "The wheel was looted out of here. You know, we have an idea of where some of these things are at, but getting them back is, I think, going to be kind of an impossible mission."
The Sylvia Earle features industry-leading safety technology that exceeds the requirements for a ship of this size. With world class return-to-port equipment, the ship is able to maintain operating systems and comfort in the event of engine failure. The ship also features a medical clinic designed for use in remote areas. In between landings, enjoy complimentary access to the onboard gym or relax one of two jacuzzis or in the in the sauna, which offers stunning views of the world outside so you won’t miss a second. On our small purpose-built ship, the Sylvia Earle, connect with like-minded travellers in a meaningful way on perspective-altering voyages to some of the most remote, unique and spectacular places on the planet.
The rest either sunk or were turned into razor blades – literally! "Canned green beans are made, cars are made out of them, rebar. They're all recycled into new forms of existence." Knego knew of Aurora's history long before it appeared in a Craigslist ad, because he has a particular passion for all things midcentury and nautical. That would explain why his home in Oceanside, Calif., is a living maritime museum. "Every single room – household garbage, cups, cans, mattresses scattered all over the place. It was a disaster."
