''Aurora'' was designed to appeal to the British market, and was built as an extended and improved version of P&O Cruises' [[MV Oriana (1995)|''Oriana'']]. The ship's hull and superstructure were designed to be attractive to this market with features similar to more traditional [[ocean liner]]s, such as her raked, tiered stern.<ref name='Meyer Werft Info' />
