Description

The second "Crown" class ship built for P&O Cruises. It differs from Ventura externally in the ducktail at the stern and in not having an indoor swimming pool. Instead there is a lido with a big screen as on its sisters of Princess Cruises. Its clientele is almost exclusively British and so its main home port is Southampton.
Azura recently received P&O Cruises' new livery, which features a stylised Union Jack painted on the bow, as well as a blue-painted funnel.
