Aurora – Where to eat

Aurora offers its customers one of the greatest selection of eateries of any of the P&O fleet. For breakfast, the Orangery lays on a fantastic self-service buffet, it is open early and guests can find a full English breakfast among the options available. The Orangery is also open for all the other meals of the day, again operating on a self-service basis.

Fans of the traditional cruise dining experience can expect an authentic feel to their meal in Aurora’s two main restaurants, the Alexandria, decorated with an Egyptian theme and the Medina, styled to reflect the P&O links with North Africa and the Middle East. Al fresco dining can be had under the stars on Aurora’s Lido Deck at the Pennant Grill, while arguably the most exciting part of Aurora’s culinary arsenal is found in the Gallic flair of the Café Bordeaux, a fine bistro created by renowned chef Marco Pierre White.

Of course, sometimes you just want to spend a quiet evening relaxing in your room. P&O cruise line understands this, and so you are able to call on their efficient and professional room service team twenty four hours a day should you require refreshments.
