P&O Cruises managing director, Carol Marlow, said: “This is a collection of flexible itineraries for those who want an exotic winter holiday on one of our newest ships.  The transatlantic cruises are fantastic for those who prefer a lazy start or end to their holiday and the ease of departure from or arrival into Southampton. And the fly-cruises are great for those who want immediate sunshine.

“Since joining the fleet in April 2010, Azura has established herself as a firm favourite with highlights including fine dining by Michelin starred chef Atul Kochhar and gourmet wine bar and restaurant by Olly Smith. 

“Azura’s wide range of bars, restaurants and outdoor deck and relaxation areas lends itself particularly well for Caribbean cruising. Whether that be cocktails by the pool on balmy evenings, dinner on the terrace of Seventeen as you sail into the Caribbean sunset, or a massage in an open air cabana in The Retreat after a hard day at the beach.

“Prices start from just £67 per person per night and considering this includes flights, all main meals, entertainment, facilities and child care for families, this is outstanding value for money.”
