The ship last drydock was in 2011.

Most modern cruise ships need to be dry docked for inspection, maintenance and class surveys every five years and once they reach 15 years of age they need to be dry docked at least twice within a five-year period. Dry docks typically last up to 14 days at a cost of up to $2 million per day and involve regular maintenance including hull cleaning, exterior painting of the structure, inspection of pipes, restoration of exterior deck flooring, and installation of enhanced HVAC filter systems

This ship was originally one of the eight ships ordered by Renaissance Cruise Line before it went out of business. In April 2016 this ship became the first ship to sail under Fathom Cruise Line sailing to Dominican Republic and Cuba.

This ship will return to P&O UK in summer 2017. UPDATE: This ship has been sold to Azamara and will start sailing as the Azamara Pursuit in March 2018.
