Went to Italy on this beautiful ship in 1972. Earlier I was on her sister ship the SS Galileo Galilei

Is wooloomooloo the secondary docks when the main dock by opera house is occupied correct? That's the dock we had to berth at because S s Himalaya was on its final run before being scrapped.

Its crackly because its the Oceangate orchestra

Pretty ships

Looks the the Arcadia

In 1960 as a child, I saw our grandparents leave Melbourne on the Orcades en route to London via Bombay, Aden, Naples, etc. We went on board to see their cabin, then just before departure, people threw paper streamers to each other. Passengers and those on shore were connected by streamers until they broke as the ship pulled away. Amazing times.

Joined Oriana in 1979 from Sidney great ship great crew ❤️❤️❤️

Rachmaninoff: so fitting here. I remember this when attending a Student Concert at The Curtis Institute at Philadelphia 45 years ago.

Interesting to see her berth at that particular what in sydney opposite the RAN berths in Wooloomooloo.

I came back to uk on this ship aged approx 6 in 1959 from Ceylon (Sri Lanka) 🙏😊

I WAS BANDMASTER ORIANA 1969 1971.THIS MUSIC ACTUALLY IS RACH. 3 OP 30 DMINOR AND NOT RACH 2 OP18.HAPPY DAYS ITINERY 2ND TO NONE..SAW MUCH OF OUR WORLD STAFFY LOVE WAS

This brought back a lot of memories from my childhood. Thanks.

I was lucky to be a passenger on both tge Arcadia and the Iberia, as well as the Oronsay and the Canberra.We didn't go on cruises, we just traveled by ship between Vancouver and Sydney. It was just part of an unusual childhood.

My father joined Orient Line in the late 1950’s and continued with P&O-Orient Line until 1962. Steward. Fred Robinson.

Thank you Chris. Very enjoyable.

And, incidentally, about hos landscape painting.

This pianist should have listed his name. He is way too modest about his playing.

im hopeing to see my fist ship i sailed on mv illyric shaw savil line nz run

Joined Canberra for her final hand-over month in Belfast, trials, then the Maiden in 1961. Later left her and the sea in late 1963. She had a more varied career than we could have imagined in those early days. When on board, we were never gloomy but Mahler gives the Sydney arrival video a whole different and enchanting atmosphere. Clever choice, thank you.

My family and I left Tilbury Docks, near London, aboard the Iberia on the 13th September 1963. At the time I thought the ship was called the RMS ( Royal Mail Ship) Iberia. My parents, my sister and I were off to a new life in Australia. As a nine year old it was a big adventure, and I have some good and bad memories of the trip. As assisted passage passengers (Ten Pound Poms) we were not all put into one cabin, my father and I were in a cabin with another father and his son, while my mother and sister were in a larger cabin with other women and their children. Both cabins were also in the 'bowels of the ship. Here I am close to sixty years later, retired on Sydney's Northern Beaches, wondering what my life may have been if we hadn't made that trip. I'm glad we did!

Cruised on Arcadia in 1978. Nothing beats her charm. Would like to know if anyone has any footage of her during a 70s cruise including inside video.

If it was the 80s I think it might of been 1987 as was on her for part of world cruise aged 17

3:54 the ah in ralr i think sounds like

I think her radio callsign was GBDK?

Someone from Greece could make this kind of channel on to RUclips refering to olds greek ships from early 60' 70' 80' pass for our memories👍😁

That 's a very Nice memories to remember because, those ships were very interesting than all ships presently days🙏👍

Those were the days...

Great memories! That was the time when Ocean Liners were real ships, with the proper shape and dignity. Unlike the current generation of "ships" that look more like floating hotels or apartment blocks! Many thanks for the time travel...

I sailed on the Orsovas maiden voyage from Vancouver to Auckland

Wonderful memories, served on her fo 4 years in mid sixties Thank you

The pianist is Chris Tyrer.

Oriana, we held the Golden Cockeral, fastest across the Pacific

My dad, James Robertson Christie worked on board the SS Iberia in the 60’s. He died on board in 1969 and was subsequently buried at sea in the Indian Ocean.

Came to Australia on this ship.

My family and I came on the Iberia.I had my 10th birthday on board. It was a wonderful voyage.

SS Iberia, what the heck is TS? This old lady was my home for three years in the late sixties/ early seventies!

wonderful photos great memories thank you so much

i joined iberia in 1964 as bell boy start of my career we were a floating hotel for tokyo olmypics was a great life with great mates she was a good ship far more beautiful than todays tubs

These P&O ships of yesteryears were far more beautiful than the floating hotels we see today, there is really no comparison; you'll never get me on one of the new cruise liners of today, they are disgusting.
