Allin Interactive Television Selected by P&O Cruises for New Superliner Azura

PITTSBURGH, May 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Allin Corporation (Pink Sheets: ALLN) has announced that it has signed an agreement with P&O Cruises to install Allin’s DigiMix(TM) ITV solution on its new superliner Azura, currently under construction by Fincantieri in Monfalcone, Italy. Azura is a sister ship to the successful Ventura and will sail in April, 2010.

When completed, Azura will contain 15 public decks, accommodate 3,100 passengers, feature 11 restaurants and more than 900 private balconies.

“We have been very pleased with Allin Interactive Television on Ventura and our passengers have expressed great satisfaction with the on-demand services and in-cabin entertainment provided by Allin’s system,” said Philip Price, head of brand marketing P&O Cruises. “We look forward to expanding our interactive initiatives to encompass even more options for our passengers and to utilize the one-to-one marketing capabilities of the Allin system.”

“We are honored to be selected again by P&O Cruises,” said John Troutwine, Director of Business Development at Allin Interactive. “P&O Cruises has expanded the reach of interactive services to levels unseen in the hospitality marketplace and we enjoy the close working relationship that has developed with them as a result.”

A number of new innovations combined with a refined and modern interpretation of the classic cruise experience will be the defining qualities for Azura. To harness eclectic British tastes and honor the rich history of P&O Cruises, Azura will feature an Indian fine dining restaurant, Sindhu, the creation of celebrated Michelin-starred chef Atul Kochhar. Sindhu means “meeting point, amalgamation or fusion” and the menu will offer a fusion of fine British and Indian cuisine.

TV wine expert Olly Smith has also been enlisted to help create a new ‘Select Dining’ restaurant and wine bar concept – The Glass House. A must for wine lovers, The Glass House menu will feature different wines recommended with each course, all served by the glass and expertly matched by Olly. The Saturday Kitchen star will also lend his skill on the drink menus for Azura‘s other bars and restaurants, and will travel regularly throughout the year to host light hearted tasting sessions in his own irreverent style.

New design highlights include an open air cinema by the Aqua Pool and a secluded on-deck spa area, The Retreat, with private cabanas for al-fresco massages, luxurious sun loungers and personal waiter service.

In entertainment, Azura will feature an ultra-modern interpretation of a classic London pub, a show lounge designed with the Big Apple in mind and a dance floor in the atrium, making it the social hub of the ship.

Azura will offer 18 single staterooms, a first in the P&O Cruises fleet, and two large suites for extended families or groups of friends to share, meaning more affordable travel suited to today’s diverse market.
