Oriana 41915 GRT, loa 245m, 1700 passengers. Ordered in 1959 by British Orient Lines, she was the fastest ship on the Australian run. In 1965 Orient Lines merged with P&O Lines and she became a fleetmate of Canberra (see above). During the latter part of her career, she was used as a cruise ship, based in the UK and from 1981 onwards in Australia. She was taken out of service in 1986 and was sold to become a convention centre in Beppu, Japan and later as a hotel ship in China. In 2004, during a storm, she partially flooded and listed badly. She was righted however but she proved to be beyond repair and was sold to local scrappers in 2005.
