Prima ballerina Darcey Bussell CBE named the P&O Cruises ship Azura, the latest ship to be built exclusively for Britain. The spectacular naming ceremony, with Darcey as the ship’s Godmother, took place on Saturday 10 April 2010, prior to Azura’s maiden cruise to the Mediterranean.
Widely considered to be one of the greatest ballerinas of all time, Miss Bussell danced in the ‘Girl Hunt’ scene reminiscent of Cyd Charisse in Band Wagon and then twirled onto the top deck of the ship in a glittering red Jasper Conran evening dress.
