Imagine traveling to New Zealand, Australia, London, Gibraltar, Marseilles, Naples, Port Said, Bombay, Aden, Columbo, Hong Kong, Phillipines, Japan, Honolulu, Vancouver, California, Panama Canal, Trinidad, Jamaica, Bermuda, Le Havre, and Lisbon on the same line. All of these routes under the Orient and Pacific Lines, later named P&O, were originally from the Orient Line and the Peninsular and Orient Steam Navigation Company. See how the these companies were joined as a result of the construction of two super liners, the Canberra and Oriana. You can see a schedule that reflects the tentativeness of the delivery of the Oriana and Canberra. See how the boundaries between classes were strictly enforced. You will witness how over minor things like shaver outlets and laundry services, there were differnces between classes.
