P&O Cruises Azura sets sail for a multimillion-pound refit in April 2020.
After 10 years at the heart of the P&O Cruises fleet, the much-loved family favourite deserves a little TLC – and P&O Cruises are giving her the full treatment to get her ready for her seasons in the Mediterranean, the Baltic and the Caribbean.
Here’s a little taster of what you can expect after Azura’s refit.
Azura’s open deck areas will be reworked to maximise sunshine time on board. Look out for improved alfresco bar and food experiences, new canopies and deck furniture, and refreshed swimming pools and poolside areas.
Inside, the refresh will be ship-wide with new carpets, soft furnishings and furniture across all public areas, bars and restaurants. Cabins will be spruced up too, with attention given to beds, bathrooms, woodwork, lighting and interior styling.
Dining areas, entertainment venues and the children’s space H2O will be upgraded, while favourite bars Blue Bar, Brodie’s, Malabar and the poolside Terrace Bar will now offer draught beer on tap.
And if you’re after deep relaxation, The Retreat and The Oasis Spa will be even more enticing. Expect new treatments and spa experiences to help you feel fresh and rejuvenated, too.

Hi, we’re thinking about booking a cruise on Azura. Do you know if there’s any further news about the refurb next year and the extent of the work?
has the azura been refitted yet ?
Good morning Murray,
We were informed that it should be in early Spring next year. But we hope to have more detail information in the not too distant future and when we do we’ll be sure to share it!
Hi has Azura had her refit please?
Hi Sharon,
Apologies for the delay in replying to you! We wanted to get in touch with P&O Cruises directly to find out more information. At the moment, we're told that it should be in early Spring next year. But we hope to have more detail information in the not too distant future and when we do we'll be sure to share it!
Hi looking to book Azura for Oct 2024. Can you please confirm if she will have had a refit in her cabins by then?
Hi Karen, yes Azura is scheduled for a refit this year. Thank you.
We are looking to book a cruise on the Azura in November 2023. We are keen to know that the refit will have been done before then. Can you please confirm the date fixed for this as we understand that it will be in 2023?
If you could get back to me as soon as possible I would be really grateful as we are looking to book shortly.

Hi Lynn, P&O Cruise hasn't confirmed a full refit date but we do know that quite a lot of the ship has been renewed like balcony furniture, carpets etc. Thank you.
Will Azura have refit before April 2023?
Thanks Evelyn
Good morning Evelyn, P&O Cruises have confirmed Azura will have a refit this year but hasn't confirmed a date just yet. Thank you.
Hi I have a cruise booked on Azura on the 18/11/22, I thought she had just had a refit, but reading your comments, it seems not, is that correct. As I have to have hearing aids I am now wondering if the main Concert rooms and Cinema, are fitted now with hearing aids compatible with the loop system.
Thanks Edward.
Hi Edward, Azura is due her refit in 2023 with exact dates to be confirmed. P&O have confirmed they offer a hearing loop facility at Southampton cruise terminals, and the reception desks onboard. They aslo provide an Infra-red hearing support system within a number of the theatres and show lounges with headsets available at reception. I hope this information helps. Thank you.
Before booking a cruise on Azura in July 2022 with all of my family, has Azura had its refit?
Hi Greg, Azura hasn't yet had a refit. It should be in the near future but P&O Cruises are yet to confirm a date.
Has Azura had the refit?
Hi Geoff, Azura has not had her refit yet. We don't have a confirmed date for the refit yet.
We are booked on Azura on cruise A209 from Malta. Do you think the refurbishment works will be done by then ? She was docked on tyneside for over six months.
Hi Neil. Azura’s refit had to be re-scheduled and we are yet to hear on the new dates as of yet. Thank you
