Saturday, 07 Mar, 2011 0

P&O’s Oriana will get new Marco Pierre White restaurant and 27 new cabins in preparation for its switch to adults only in November.

Ocean Grill by Marco Pierre White will debut on board Adonia in May and also be added to Arcadia during refurbishment in late 2011.

The new kids-free Oriana will also have Sorrento, a new Italian restaurant with ocean views and an outdoor dining area, and an updated Oasis Spa.

A cover charge will apply in Ocean Grill by Marco Pierre White
Sorrento will be free of charge except for certain items, for which there will be supplementary charges

P&O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow, said: “Recent research has shown that passengers want an entirely different Select dining experience to that offered elsewhere on the ship and they also want a contemporary style. Marco Pierre White has proved to be a huge hit with our passengers so we have asked him to work his culinary magic on board Oriana, Arcadia and Adonia.

“These ships offer longer itineraries and Ocean Grill by Marco Pierre White will provide an evolving menu to offer a different choice of cuisine throughout the cruise.”
