History
AI-generatedAzura is a Ventura-class cruise ship built by Fincantieri in Italy and operated by P&O Cruises. The ship was formally named by ballet dancer Darcey Bussell, who presented a Royal Ballet School dance performance as part of the christening ceremony. Azura is the only Grand-class ship to feature a "Duck Tail" stern and was re-registered to Bermuda to enable wedding ceremonies to be conducted on board.
