Azura Itineraries

Azura review, review of azura.

The 2010-built MS Azura cruise ship is one of the Grand-class P&O UK liners, with sistership MS Ventura .

The vessel (IMO number 9424883) is currently Bermuda- flagged (MMSI 310610000) and registered in Hamilton .

History - construction and ownership

P&O Cruises is a subsidiary company and two brands owned by Carnival Corporation - P&O UK and P&O Australia. In 2000, P&O Cruises became subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises, which merged with Carnival Corporation in 2003. P and O is the world's oldest cruise company, starting passenger shipping operations in 1822 on the routes connecting England with Iberia.

PO Azura cruise ship

The 3100-passenger ship Azura is the second vessel of this size for P&O UK (the first was sister ship Ventura, which was released in 2008). The design of the ship is orientated to the traditional passengers of the fleet. Azura was the first in the fleet to introduce an open-air cinema and 18 single staterooms. The wide cinema screen called SeaScreen is placed in front of the funnel.

Decks and Cabins

P&O Azura staterooms (1557 total, in 35 grades) include 26x Suites, 882x Balconies, 195x Oceanviews, 434x Inside, 2x Family Suites, 18x Studios (single-occupancy cabins). Most cabins are sized 165 ft2 / 15 m2. Most cabin balconies are sized 45 ft2 / 4 m2. The largest passenger accommodations are the Aft Penthouse Suites (410 ft2 / 38 m2, with terrace sized 180 ft2 / 17 m2).

The boat has 18 decks , of which 15 are passenger-accessible and 9 with cabins.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

Spanning two decks, the Meridian restaurant is one of the ship's main dining rooms, featuring a glass design and a central grand staircase. The restaurant serves good quality food in a sometimes pretty chaotic environment. Breakfast features everything one would expect, from light and healthy options to British fry-up. Lunch is a la carte, including soup, lighter dishes, and pies while afternoon tea serves tasty treats of sandwiches, scones, and cakes. At night the Meridian operates the usual dining system of two sittings, where guests dine each night at the same table.

Other P&O UK cruise ships

The Fincantieri Monfalcone -built MS Azura is one of P&O UK's largest vessels, and one of the largest passenger ships on the UK market - along with the fleetmates Ventura  (sistership), Britannia (2015)  and P&O's newest ship Iona (2020) . Azura's Godmother was Darcey Bussell (Dame Darcey Andrea Bussell) - 1969-born British ballet dancer. Ship's Inaugural Cruise/maiden voyage started on March 31, 2010, from the shipyard Monfalcone (Italy) to Southampton England .

P&O Azura (Monfalcone shipyard/hull number 6166) is powered by Wartsila-Sulzer marine diesel engines (models 8ZAV40S and 8L46C) generating total power output 67,22 MW.

MV Azura was designed to appeal more to the line's mostly British passengers. The vessel offers a huge selection of balcony staterooms (almost 900 of them, divided into 10 different categories). The ship also features 18 single occupancy cabins, spa cabins (with direct access to the Spa complex), huge-size Atrium with a dance floor in it, open-air theatre (large movie screen in front of the funnel), a total of 11 dining places.

In August 2017, Azura became the world's first cruise ship performing gay weddings at sea. P&O UK's wedding packages prices started from GBP 1200. For comparison, Cunard’s ship weddings cost from GBP 2570 (on RMS Queen Mary 2 ) and from GBP 2120 (on Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ). On MS Azura, gay wedding ceremonies are carried out by ship’s Captain, while marriage licenses are issued by Bermuda's Government (as the vessel is flagged/registered in Hamilton Bermuda ).

Among cruiseferries, boat's namesake is the GNV -owned MS Azzurra . Another namesake is the megayacht Emerald Azzurra (2021).

P&O Azura refurbishments review

The ship's drydock 2020 (April 4-16, at Navantia Ferrolane Shipyard in  Ferrol Spain ) was a GBP 20 million project planned mainly for needed repairs and equipment modernization. The project involved 3000 people - 1000 crew, 1500 contractors (employees of companies hired by the shipowner, most from the UK) and 500 local workers (specializing in mechanics, steelworks, painting).

Works included technical and hotel maintenance, general upgrades of public areas (all bars and restaurants) and passenger cabins (beds, bathrooms, lighting, woodwork, decoration). All staterooms and venues received new carpeting and furniture. Four bars now serve draught beers. Some outdoor deck spaces were redesigned to allow alfresco dining.

The ship's drydock in November 2015 (GBP 26 million project) resulted in the following deck plan changes.

  • The vessel received the new P&O livery (on the hull).
  • Added were the new restaurants/venues Sindhu, Glass House, Grab and Go, Costa Coffee.
  • Renovations received the Theatre Lounge, Lido Buffet, Reef Kids Club, Sidewalk Cafe, Spa, Shops, Casino, Champions Bar.
  • New Beach House menu was introduced.

All passenger staterooms received various upgrades.
