Along with ARCADIA she will be an adult-only ship.

Thanks for the news.
It's Greek in origin, and means "extremely good looking" - as might be guessed from the more common masculine form: "Adonis".

Her furnishings are more like those of a comfortable country club rather than like a mass market entertainment complex at sea !

If P&O make a go of it I could see another Princess boutique ship moving over to P&O before long. Perhaps they could trade the Oceania for the Ocean and Pacific Princesses?
PS: Thanks for the news Tony.

To much gilt and fussy carpeting for my taste but that's an easy fix.

The last ss Chusan, when she entered service in 1950, was the first large cruise ship to be fitted with stabilizer fins !
The first P & O passenger ship to visit Port Jackson, Australia in 1852 was also named Chusan !
She was also the first ship to offer a regular mail service between UK and Australia.
ADONIA is terrible. So is VENTURA.
Then again, I hated ARTEMIS too, even though I understood the reasoning behind it.
The other 2 will most definately stay at Princess, zero chance of a Cunard move. Although some of the old Cunard names are nice they will never be used again simply because Cunard has wholly embrassed the "Queen" concept and the cruising public would be very confused is they tried to change it.
I had often wondered if Carnival might use the 3 ships in its own version of Oceania but obviously they felt returns were better leaving them where they did.
Names like Azura and Ventura were never traditional P&O names and were named to appeal to the younger crowds like me.
I wonder if they will ever send this one into the heart of London considering it can actually make it up the Thames.
I personally think its a great move. The ships are attractive exterior wise and have a modern look.
