She was never owned by P&O at any time. Viking Line sold the ship to Irish Continental Group (Irish Ferries) who chartered her to P&O

Correct. I had to look twice when I saw that!

Interesting vid, I had many crossings on her to and from Bilbao in the P&O days in the 90's while working as a tour coach driver. I was lucky enough to blag a bridge visit on one occasion which was quite amazing. In those days she was a great ship with really lovely cabins and facilities on board.

I’m afraid the subtitles were hard to read.

Her sistership, Olympia was one of the first responders to the mayday calls form the sinking MS Estonia. I was lucky to have a bridge visit on Pride of Bilbao - quite an experience sailing into the Solent with that vantage point - her bridge was so high up. Very impressive ship, even now; she still looks imposing despite being covered in the cartoon characters of Moby's ghastly liveries.
