Now living in Sydney, Australia, Darcey the former royal ballet dancer will fly back to Britain with her family for Azura's glittering naming ceremony, but exact details of the occasion are being kept a closely guarded secret until the day.
Darcey Bussell epitomises glamour, sophistication and elegance, all qualities P&O have strived to achieve in Azura. The Ship will offer the service, quality and entertainment associated with cruising at its very best and as dance will play a key part in this, it is entirely fitting for Darcey to give Azura the best possible start in life.
Azura's maiden voyage departs from Southampton on Saturday 12 April 2010 and is a classic 16 night central Mediterranean cruise featuring calls in Venice and Dubrovnik. Prices starting from 1,524 per person.
A sister-ship to the 116,000-ton Ventura which began service in Southampton in 2008, Azura represents the latest generation of ships currently fuelling demand from the UK's rapidly expanding cruise sector.
News that childish pursuits such as toy car racing and bungee trampolining have been set aside for more grown-up pastimes For entertainment there'll be dancing in the Atrium; music in Manhattan; drinks in The Marquis; and mesmerising shows, of two very different kinds, in The Planet Bar and The Playhouse.
Azura's dining experiences will be truly exceptional. Behind every one of her restaurants you'll find passion, flair and expertise. Michelin-star chef Atul Kochhar's venue Sindhu, will serve dishes blending India's homeland spices with familiar British tastes and textures. Whilst The Glass House will be a wine connoisseurs dream - a place for sipping vintages selected by expert Olly Smith - as you dine on succulent seafood and grill menus.
The first single cabins in P&O's seven-ship fleet are perhaps the greatest nod to the era when passengers travelling alone were not seen as difficult customers. They are the most successful cabins in terms of sales already booked via p&o cruise agent website Southampton Cruises.
