Crow’s Nest

Crow’s Nest is a P&O favourite. The lookout style room was made popular in the early P&O ships, including SS Oriana and SS Canberra. Both the Oriana and her running mate Aurora feature the Crow’s Nest, which are well used rooms. During the day parts of this room is used for arts and crafts. Morning tea and coffee is served at 1030, and cards are played at various hours on the aft port side. In the evenings Crow’s Nest comes to life with pre cocktail melodies by resident pianist Martin Green and the guest bands, the superb Powerhouse as well as the smooth melodies combined with Jazz and the blues, performed by the Jeff Wraight Trio. At night, dress code is strictly enforced.
