Ship History: The 49,073 ton 830 ft. ss Canberra was built in 1961 and sailed with P&O until 1997 when it was sold for scrap.
The 41,910 ton 804 ft. ss Oriana sailed with P&O from 1960 to 1986 when it was sold to a Japanese company and became a floating hotel and museum ship in Osaka, and later Beppu Japan. In 1995 it was sold to a Chinese company for use as a hotel ship and tourist attraction in Shanghai and later Dalian. It was damaged during a storm in 2005 and was sold for scrap.
The 28,136 tom 708 ft ss Oronsay was built for Orient Line (which at the time was 51% owned by P&O) in 1950. In 1960 the P&O and Orient Line fleets were merged but the Oronsay continued to operate under Orient Line banner. After P&O acquired full ownership of Orient Line in 1966 the ship sailed under the P&O Line banner. The ship was sold for scrap in October 1975.
