Starburst - Atrium - P&O Cruises - MV Britannia - IMO: 9614036

This focal feature of Britannia's atrium changes colour. The atrium is situated mid-ships over Decks 5(Landing Deck) - 6(Tween Decks) and 7(Main Deck).

 

Just slightly out of sequence with my previous photos, though not by much. This view, looking forward on Deck 7(Main Deck), was taken on 17/09/2022, when Britannia was making steady progress on the Bay of Biscay, in the North Atlantic Ocean, when heading back home to Southampton where she would arrive in the following morning. On the left of the photo, port side, is The Glass House, a fine dining bar/restaurant with wine and ale by P&O Cruises Food Hero, Olly Smith. "The perfect location for a light bite, lunchtime tipple, afternoon apéritif or a tastefully informal evening out" says www.pocruises.com/onboard-activities/dining/the-glass-house. I must admit, the food is very nice and just a small supplement applies to each course. On the right of the photo, starboard side is Java, a coffee lounge where Costa Coffee is available. Cakes and pastries are also available.
