Well spotted!
More nitpicking.
The folks at P&O ought to have actually read "Around the World in 80 Days" before announcing Oriana's world cruise and citing Jules Verne's work in their announcement.
While Oriana's world cruise features 80 nights on board, it actually takes 81 days to go around the world because it is travelling westward. By contrast Phileas Fogg's trip also took 80 nights but since he was travelling eastward he arrived back in London 79 days after he left. Mistakenly thinking he had taken 80 days and had arrived in London too late to make it to the Reform Club before the deadline, he went home. It was only the next morning that Passepartout discovered their error, but Fogg still had time to get to the Reform Club before the true deadline and win his bet.
