How big is it, really?
The Azura's length overall, against things you already know the size of.
The 747-8 held the longest-airliner record for over a decade, until Boeing's 777-9 took it by about 19 inches (76.72 m) — our sibling site aircraft.fyi measures everything that flies the same way.
One Azura = 1.08 Titanics · 2.8 football pitches · 12 blue whales · 3.8 Boeing 747-8s laid end to end.

What makes it different
Azura is the second Ventura-class ship and about as close to her sister as two ships get — 290 metres, 115,055 gross tons, the same nineteen decks and the same six Wärtsilä diesels producing 67.2 MW.
Her delivery in 2010 sits either side of a change in the fleet's paperwork. She was registered at Southampton when new, and re-registered to Hamilton, Bermuda in 2011 with the rest of P&O's ships — a move that let captains legally marry couples at sea, which UK registry does not permit.
She carries an open-air cinema over the pool deck and a slightly more social layout than Ventura, but the two are routinely mistaken for each other, which is fair enough.
