- P&O and Princess Cruises
have always been of great interest to me, and I have issued nearly
50 cards of their fleets in my Simplon Postcards series, covering
virtually all their cruise ships from the early 1960s. Most of
my own cruising has been with P&O, and the Canberra
and Oriana(2) are particular favourites, hence a number
of cards have been issued of both of these ships.
-
- This page shows P&O ocean
liners later used as fulltime cruise ships, the Arcadia(2),
Oriana(1) and Canberra. Page
2 continues the P&O/Princess fleet story with the early
purpose-built cruise ships, the acquisition of Sitmar, and the
succession of new Grand Class ships in the 1990s and beyond.
