Evening Entertainment

With a choice of twelve bars and four bustling entertainment venues, you’ll never experience anything but the best evenings on board Aurora. The Curzon theatre thrills guests with West End inspired productions, comedy shows and sequin-spangled dance performances, while the Monte Carlo Casino beckons you to take a chance on Lady Luck in its plush surroundings. The Carmen Show Lounge plays host to live music and cabaret acts, before the dance floor fills as the night goes on.

With so many bars on board there really is somewhere for everyone to enjoy a tipple before or after the evening’s entertainment.  The Crow’s Nest is an eternally popular venue on many of the P&O Cruises fleet, offering panoramic views and a relaxed atmosphere through the day and games and competitions in the evening. Sports fans who never miss a game will no doubt appreciate the live sports shown in Champion’s Pub, while night owls can dance away the evening at the ship’s nightclub, Masquerade. Charlie’s is the place to be seen on board Aurora and this richly decorated, wood-panelled bar is the perfect place to sip champagne beneath a glittering ceiling.

Dining

There are two main dining rooms on board Aurora known as the Medina Restaurant and the Alexandria Restaurant. Traditional Club Dining is offered in the Alexandria Restaurant, with a choice of first or second sitting; usually 6.30pm or 8.30pm. Passengers can request their table size preference at time of booking and will enjoy the same table and company each evening.

The Medina Restaurant offers Freedom Dining. This more flexible way of dining allows you to escape routine whilst on holiday, enjoying an early dinner one evening and a late supper the next. The Medina Restaurant will also see esteemed British chef Marco Pierre White’s influences contributing to its exquisite Gala Night menus.

Speciality dining is provided in the Glass House Restaurant. This elegant eatery offers a delicious menu matched with expert wine choices by Olly Smith. An Enomatic wine system and private room offering wine tasting and private dinners makes the Glass House Restaurant a popular place for special evenings. Alternatively, enjoy a taste of the orient at Sindhu. The opulently decorated backdrop echoes the Asian fusion food served within its walls.

The Horizon Restaurant is located on the Lido deck and offers a more relaxed dining option for those who’d rather enjoy a less formal evening meal. A contemporary design and ocean views complement a vast choice of delicious buffet food, with quality and quantity in equal abundance.
