Azura, Ventura & Adonia

Launch and First Voyage Celebrations

Southampton, UK 2009/2010/2011

Featuring Darcy Bussell and Trevor McDonald, with choreography by Kim Gavin, this launch party, bottle smash and inaugural celebration took place on the top deck of the new ship for P&O. Stages were built over swimming pools, to create raised platforms with audience in amongst the shows. Followed next season by a launch of Ventura, with Helen Mirren, then Adonia next year with Hugh Bonneville and Shirley Bassey. These three events, again for Mark Fisher OBE MVO RDI, were a new step in presenting creative shows with a storyline at this type of event.
