With more than 1,500 staterooms to choose from, including 900 with balconies, you’re bound to find the perfect living space on Azura, whether you’re travelling alone, with the family or you’re celebrating a special occasion.
The style is more ‘boutique hotel’ than ship’s cabin and your flat screen interactive TV allows you to watch movies, flick to the children’s channel or reserve a table at your favourite restaurant, all at the press of a button.
Cruisers with a Superior Deluxe Stateroom will be treated to champagne and chocolates on arrival, while Spa Stateroom guests enjoy exclusive access to the Oasis Spa along with complimentary robes, slippers and a selection of luxury spa products.
Azura’s 14 passenger decks also will offer plenty to keep everyone entertained, including four pools, an outdoor cinema, state of the art gym, exclusive shopping and four kids’ clubs, catering for toddlers to teens. With 11 different places to eat, 12 places to drink, three dance floors and a spectacular two-tier theatre, you’ll find that evenings on your cruise ship are one big party too.
There'll be tons of space for everyone to enjoy doing their own thing on this cruise ship whether you’re a sun lover, fitness fan or pleasure seeker.
Meanwhile the kids will be kept thoroughly entertained with supervised activities that include everything from pool games and Playstations to movies and making stuff!
If you’re the active type, you'll be able to burn off a few calories at the gym or pick up sides for a game of tennis, cricket or footy on the sports court. Lounging by the pool may be more your style and there’ll be no need to move a muscle because there’s great food and cool drinks on tap.
For the ultimate in cruise luxury, you'll be able to head off to the adults-only Oasis Retreat – an open air Spa terrace with comfortable sun loungers, personal waiter service and airy cabanas where you can indulge in al fresco Spa treatments while you watch the world go by.
Your cruise ship will also offer a wide choice of bars in which to relax with a coffee, or something stronger, or there’s the tranquil Alcove library and Chronicles book shop - perfect places to while away an hour or two.
However you like to party, you’ll find exactly the atmosphere you’re looking for on Azura. The 12 bars and lounges offer everything from a classic London pub ambience to champagne and caviar. Your glittering evening entertainment will also include:
If you like the conviviality of sharing a table with fellow cruisers then one of three Club Dining restaurants will treat you to silver service and five fabulous courses every evening. Menus will offer a delicious mix of international cuisine as well as popular British dishes.
Prefer to go with the flow? Then Freedom Dining offers you the chance to meet up with friends or arrive at your restaurant whenever you’re hungry and enjoy a gourmet extravaganza.
Alternatively, why not pay a little extra and reserve a table at one of your cruise ship’s Speciality restaurants. At Sidhu the menus will be inspired by renowned Indian chef, Atul Kochhar and offer modern Indian dishes with a British twist. While at The Glasshouse your sommelier will recommend the perfect wine to accompany every course – it'll be a real feast for the senses.
If you’d prefer to go casual or dine out with the kids, you’ll find sizzling grills, burgers, pizza and pasta at the Food Court – or you'll be able to just call room service for a delicious bite at any time of day!
