New cruise ship due in UK
P&O Cruises’ new ship Azura is due to arrive in the UK for the first time tomorrow (Wednesday).
The 3,100-passenger sister vessel to Ventura is expected to sail into its home port of Southampton in the morning.
The ship will then be prepared for its formal naming at a dance-themed event by former Royal Ballet star Darcey Bussell in front of more than 1,200 guests on Saturday night.
A number of trade events will also be held on baord before Azura departs on its maiden cruise on April 12 – a 16-night central Mediterrean itinerary.
The ship features the line’s first dedicated cabins for single travellers, a giant open air cinema screen and a spa relaxation area on deck.
