General Information
The
Aurora started sailing in 2000. Former names: none. The Aurora is registered
in Hamilton, Bermuda. The Aurora has 960 cabins.
You can expect between 1920 to 2304 passengers on a typical sailing. This means
that at the higher number (usually peak and holiday sailings) Aurora has a space ratio of
33.1.
(A space ratio less than 33 means that you may find the ship crowded in areas. A space ratio greater than 39 means that
there should be plenty of space for each passenger.) When this ship isn't sailing at capacity the space ratio can be as good
as 39.7.
The Aurora has
850 crew members on board. There are 3 passengers for every crew member on board.

Other Information
Aurora is a mid-sized cruise ship, instantly recognizable thanks to her elegant tiered stern. Like Oriana, Aurora is designed as a classic ocean going vessel and is therefore ideally suited to world cruising. At her heart is a Lalique-inspired waterfall which forms the centerpiece of her atrium - one of her signature features.
When it comes to bars she offers a variety to suit every mood including her Crows Nest bar, which offers a great view of every port along the way (and the oceans in between), Champions sports bar and adjacent casino, and Andersons with its rather sophisticated wood paneled walls. Entertainment wise theres the Playhouse cinema which shows recently released films, a show lounge and theatre (Curzon Theater).
Her dining options include her two main restaurants (Medina and Alexandria), a Lido Buffet (The Orangery), a Sidewalk Cafe, as well as a bistro by Marco Pierre White and an al fresco grill restaurant. Dress codes are enforced in the restaurants and in the bars in the evenings.
P&O Cruises Aurora is designed for walking or jogging with the opportunity to do just that around her circumference thanks to the broad teak promenade deck. She even has one pool which can be covered by a sky dome.
During March 2019 drydock 23 cabins were added to the aft of Deck 8. This includes 6 balcony cabins and 5 deluxe balcony cabins. There are 962 staterooms total. They also removed the childrens play rooms and the ship became a adult only cruise ship.
