P&O Cruises, which is part of the Carnival Corp & plc group, says it will refurbish three of its seven ships before the start of 2014, the company said in a leaflet describing its plans.

The first ship earmarked for a facelift is the 77,449 gross ton Oceana, which will spend 15 nights in a dry dock, starting on 5 December this year. The cabins on board will receive £1 million worth of attention, while Le Club, the ship’s night club and bar area, will be totally redesigned and new equipment will be installed. The spa and Horizon Grill will also receive attention. Oceana was built in 2000 as Ocean Princess for sister company Princess Cruises and transferred to P&O Cruises three years later.

On 22 March next year, Ventura that was introduced in 2008, will see the introduction of The Glass House wine bar and restaurant to replace the Ramblas bar area, while dance floor will be fitted on the Atrium. The ship will also receive 18 single cabins. All features are adopted from sister ship Azura that is two years younger than Ventura. The work will be completed on 7 April, according to plans.

Finally, the 2005 built Arcadia is to receive a facelift in December next year, which will see 10 single cabins being introduced. These will take over the floor space of Electra, the night club on board, plus some area of the current casino. The Globe, a secondary lounge, will become the new night club and it will receive a facelift and a glass wall to improve soundproofing.

Ocean Grill, the Marco Pierre White restaurant on the ship, will also receive a new look, while the company promises news regarding the Asian fusion Orchid Restaurant in the near future.
