RETURN TO THE HOMEPAGE
THE OCEAN LINERS |
|||
Welcome to our RMS Orion
website celebrating this remarkable ship. She was the first British
ocean liner with air conditioning in all her public rooms. With her
magnificent art deco interiors she set a new standard in ocean travel
for the time and introduced the famous Orient Line corn coloured
livery. She was a contemporary of P&O's Strathmore. She was a true
pioneer and set the standard for all Orient Line
and P&O Line ships that followed her. The Orion and the Strathmore
represented the start of a coming together of Orient Line and P&O
as their ships became ever more similar in design.
