P&O Cruises has put the finishing touches to the brand new livery on its newest ship in the fleet – Britannia, the largest ship built for Britain which will be officially named in a glittering ceremony in Southampton in March 2015.
The new livery was developed after extensive research among consumers. It will first be seen on P&O Cruises Aurora, after her drydock later this year, followed by Britannia at her launch in March 2015, and on all other P&O Cruises ships by the end of 2016. Britannia, the largest cruise ship exclusively for the British market, will display the longest version of the Union flag anywhere in the world, at 94 metres.
The bold new look on the bow features the world’s largest contemporary version of the Union Flag, which required the following volumes of paint for the newest look to its ship: 280 litres of red paint , 40 litres red for the shadow, 80 litres of blue, 20 litres of blue for the shadow and
160 litres for the big logo of P&O Cruises on the front of the bow. I hope it’s Dulux!!
What do you think of the new livery. I like it, to me it will freshen up the fleet.
The ship will also have two distinctive blue funnels carrying an illuminated rising sun motif which depicts the Oriental part of the Peninsular and Oriental (P&O) name on the company’s coat of arms.
When working to full capacity, Britannia’s four engines will generate 62.4 Megawatts or 84,000 horsepower which is equivalent to the power generated by 168 supercars, allowing the 141,000 ton ship to cruise at a speed of 22 knots.
Unfortunately Britannia’s maiden voyage is already sold out but I can get you on the following cruises :
28/3 Canary Islands 14 nts £1169 pp inside, £1389 pp balcony
11/4 Mediterranean 14 nts £999 pp inside, £1219 pp balcony
25/4 Norwegian Fjords 07 nts £649 pp inside, £799 pp balcony
02/5 Canary Islands 14 nts £1149 pp inside, £1399 pp balcony
30/5 Baltic 14 nts £1269 pp inside, £1679 pp balcony
Fantastic prices for a brand new ship!!
