Azura is yet another example of the Grand-class cruise ships built by Fincantieri and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The first ship of this class, Grand Princess, entered service for Princess Cruises in 1998. Since then, nine ships of a design either identical to or derived from the Grand Princess have been delivered to Princess Cruises, while two additional ships have been built for P&O Cruises. At the time of writing, Fincantieri are building two further Grand-class derivatives for Princess Cruises, to be delivered in 2013 and 2014.
Images below are of Azura departing Helsinki West Harbour on 10 July 2010, once again photographed from Vattuniemi.
