P&O name new cruise ship
28 Oct 2008
A new ship from P&O Cruises that is due to join the rest of the fleet in 2010 has been named Azura.
The same size as superliner Ventura which became part of the P&O fleet earlier this year will carry 3,100 passengers over 15 decks.
Managing director of P&O Cruises, Nigel Esdale, said: 'Evoking images of the ocean and capturing the thrill of cruise travel, the name Azura is very fitting for this most sophisticated of superliners.
'It is also appropriate for a ship that will be a haven of serenity and the embodiment [of] the choice and service excellence for which P&O Cruises is renowned.'
On the 15 decks will be a choice of 11 restaurants, five boutiques, four pools, two lounges and more than 900 cabins with balconies.
The Azura will have its maiden voyage from the docks of Southampton in late spring 2010, with a full itinerary or destinations to be announced early next year.
