Great cruise. I have been on Iona, Brittannia and Venturer and this is my favorite so far. I love the way the horizon restaurant is set out, it's very organized and not like a cattle market, as with the other cruise ships. .
The staff are all lovely.
Although the balconies are small, they are more private which is nice.
My only gripe with P&O is they use Tetley teabags and I only drink Yorkshire.
Will definitely look at another cruise on this ship.

We loved Aurora, our cabin had loads of storage, a bath and shower which was excellent. Our cabin steward was friendly and efficient, ice was in our fridge every afternoon and there was a kettle too to make a hot drink ourselves. We were very happy with the food on Aurora and the entertainment was excellent especially the fabulous orchestra, the resident bands and the talented stage shows. We had a wonderful experience on the traditional Aurora.

An older but still beautiful P&O ship. One of the smallest in the fleet which makes it easy to navigate and get the feel of a more personal service. Entertainment was fantastic especially the bigger shows by the theatre company and a couple of fantastic and very interesting guest speakers onboard. The buffet we found plentiful but tbh a little bland and samey. Main dining, however, food was 5*. Would be nice if they had more tables for 2, as most people are in couples, but you end up sharing a table a lot of the time and would be nice if all dining was freedom, yet there is still set dining on this ship with the later one being 8. 15pm, many people said this was too late for them. We had an inside cabin and it had plenty of storage for our 10 days. Embarkation and disembarkation was very quick and easy. Nice heated pools and hot tubs were great. Gym good for a small ship.

Aurora is a nice ship with less than 2000 passengers. Embarking was simple except for a queue at security. The locations on the cruise: Copenhagen, Oslo and Rotterdam were all really nice and spending 2 days in each was perfect for doing lots of activities.

Ship was full of Xmas decorations. Crew as always were very friendly and helpful. Restaurant food was excellent with plenty of choices. Used the buffet on deck 12 for breakfast and lunch which was ok . The entertainment was not as good as previous cruises . Avoid the so called busker who was terrible. I don’t understand why P&O employ these people I have only seen one who was reasonably good. Only went on one excursion as I had visited all ports several times. As usual the excursions were over priced. Embarkation and disembarkation was very quick and efficient. Overall another great P&O cruise
