A busy week for Britannia......and for me!

It's been a busy few days for P&O Cruises latest flagship Britannia On Friday  6th February she arrived in her homeport of Southampton for the very first time.


 Accompanied by three tug escorts and a small fleet of boats. The British public also turned out in force to welcome  her home, the weather was also on her side with clear skies and light winds.
 
She then met the first of her fellow sisters Oceana in Southampton on the 7th.
 




She met her once again on the 9th where Britannia hosted her Gala Evening for her VIP guests ahead of her naming ceremony on the 10th March 2015.
 
The finally on the Tuesday 10th March 2015 Her Majesty The Queen named the ship.
 

Rob Brydon hosted the naming ceremony
