About Aurora
Aurora is a mid-sized, adults-focused P&O Cruises ship that entered service in 2000. Built by Meyer Werft, she combines classic British cruise styling with a quieter atmosphere, extensive outdoor space and a broad choice of dining, entertainment and enrichment venues. Her 1,874-guest scale is substantially smaller than P&O’s newest ships, making her a suitable choice for passengers who prefer a more traditional and manageable onboard experience.
