Welcome to our RMS Orion website celebrating this remarkable ship. She was the first British ocean liner with air conditioning in all her public rooms. With her magnificent art deco interiors she set a new standard in ocean travel for the time and introduced the famous Orient Line corn coloured livery. She was a contemporary of P&O's Strathmore. She was a true pioneer and set the standard for all Orient Line and P&O Line ships that followed her. The Orion and the Strathmore represented the start of a coming together of Orient Line and P&O as their ships became ever more similar in design.
