P&O New Livery.
Starting with AURORA later this year,the company's eight ships will have a styalised Union flag on the bow and forward section of the hull and blue funnels with an illuminated rising sun,the P&O motif which has been part of P&O's identity since 1840.Our ships will carry on their bow Britain's most distinctive symbol,the Union flag to all corners of the globe.This sounds very patriotic but what flag will they be sailing under????Thats just a brief word about it quite a lot more on their site.
Regards.

Re: P&O New Livery.
Open to correction on this but I believe they still fly the Red Ensign. Cunard,of course fly the Bermudan Flag.

Re: P&O New Livery.
Hi Jim.
I would like to have seen the Red Ensign on the bow then one could say that they are getting back to where they should be.
And who know Ivan may be right the wee men might sue when they get independance.

Most cruise ships as they are registered in Hamilton, including Cunard, can fly the Red Ensign. Hamilton is in a British protedtorate so thye are allowed to do so. QE3 was here inmelbourn elast year with Red Ensign proudly flying from the stern.
Happy daze John in Oz.
