P&O Cruises’ adult-only ship is back in action after the Aurora 2025 refit. Guests can expect to find refreshing dining venues, bars, cabins, spa facilities, and more on board as she prepares for her next season of sailings.

Known for sailing to destinations both near and far – from the British Isles and Iceland to North and South America – Aurora now embarks on these adventures with a sophisticated new look.

Stylish Dining Across the Decks

Aurora’s restaurants have been thoughtfully redesigned to enhance the onboard culinary experience. Sindhu, P&O Cruises’ popular British-Indian restaurant, now features warm autumnal tones and a blend of traditional and modern patterns that reflect its fusion cuisine. In the main dining venue, Medina Restaurant, bold colours and intricate Aztec-inspired motifs create a dramatic yet elegant backdrop.

Casual spots have also received a refresh. The Lido Grill showcases playful colours and sleek modern furniture, while the Horizon Restaurant now features fresh, earthy-toned flooring for a relaxed self-service dining atmosphere. The Riviera Pool area has been styled with parasol-inspired hues of coral and aquamarine, adding a touch of the Italian Riviera to your poolside lunch.

New Look, Same Great Atmosphere in Bars & Lounges

Evenings on board now come with added flair. Masquerade Bar has been transformed with iridescent tones and peacock feather motifs, turning it into a glamorous hub for live music and late-night dancing. Carmen’s Show Lounge takes inspiration from flamenco and opera, pairing deep reds and luxurious textures with an upgraded dance floor. Meanwhile, The Crow’s Nest oozes sophistication with rich fabrics, classic detailing and ambient lighting.

Up on deck, the Pennant Bar now evokes the golden age of cruising with glossy woods, chrome details and a colour palette reminiscent of vintage speedboats following the Aurora 2025 refit.

Poolside Elegance

The Terrace Pool, known for its stunning aft position and three-tiered deck, is now furnished with navy and white pieces, while the main Crystal Pool offers a serene setting thanks to soft blue, beige and white tones. Both areas have been designed for ultimate relaxation, whether you’re soaking up the sun or enjoying a refreshing dip.

Upgraded Cabins for Ultimate Comfort

Cabins throughout Aurora have been updated with a palette of sage green and neutrals, complete with new fabrics for headboards, curtains, and soft furnishings. Suites have received a similar upgrade with elegant lavender tones, warm wood accents, and plush textures that bring a calm, luxurious feel to your private retreat.

Wellbeing & Refined Touches Throughout

The Oasis Spa now features minimalist finishes, parquet flooring, and earthy tones to enhance its calming ambience. The Uganda Room, used for private functions and events, has been redesigned with sophisticated navy, grey, and gold fabrics, accented with details inspired by nature and the sea.

Behind the scenes, further upgrades include brand new guest mattresses, replacement of five whirlpools, refreshed carpets throughout public areas, and technical improvements to lifts, lighting, entertainment systems and public toilets, ensuring comfort and style are matched by performance and practicality.
