Aurora had a spectacular start to her life. On 16th April 2000 she made the short journey from her German shipbuilders, Meyer Werft. Sailing into her home port of Southampton, she was escorted by the "Tall Ships". Shortly afterwards, she was named by the Princess Royal.

This £200m ship incorporated every advance in engineering, navigational equipment and passenger comfort. She can cruise at a speed of 24 knots, be positioned to within 6 inches during docking and has been designed especially for British cruise passengers. Features such as a swimming pool with a retractable roof, golf simulator and a virtual reality centre have earned her a very loyal following.

Taking her cues from her extensive travels, Aurora’s rooms combine influences from around the globe. Stylish yet unstuffy, Aurora caters for families, couples and solo travellers with ease. An effortlessly tasteful interior invites you to relax and watch the world go by. Boasting every type of accommodation from an inside cabin to a lavish two-tier suite with butler service, she has something to suit every pocket.
