Destination-Focused Voyages

Azamara is renowned for putting destinations at the heart of the cruise experience. Rather than simply skimming the surface, Azamara allows guests to dive deeper into the places they visit. With longer stays in port, more overnights, and plenty of late-night departures, you can enjoy the destination like a local—savouring the cuisine, exploring the nightlife, or taking part in special cultural events.

From Europe to Asia, Africa to the Americas, Azamara’s itineraries are carefully curated to include iconic landmarks, hidden gems, and lesser-visited ports. Their commitment to immersive travel is reflected in their shore excursions, many of which are exclusive to Azamara and designed in partnership with local guides.

Boutique Ships for a Yacht-Like Experience

Azamara’s fleet consists of four mid-sized ships—Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, Azamara Pursuit, and Azamara Onward—each accommodating around 700 guests. These smaller ships create an intimate onboard atmosphere with a high crew-to-guest ratio, ensuring personalised service at every turn.

The size of Azamara’s ships also allows access to ports that larger vessels can’t reach, bringing guests closer to city centres and less-travelled harbours. Think sailing into the heart of Bordeaux, mooring beside Venice’s historic centre, or docking in the charming port of Amalfi.

Country-Intensive Itineraries

A standout feature of Azamara is its range of country-intensive voyages. These itineraries allow guests to explore a single country in depth, often visiting multiple ports within one region. Whether it’s Italy, Japan, or Greece, these cruises are ideal for travellers who want a more thorough understanding of a particular destination.

Each country-intensive cruise includes immersive experiences on land, from wine tastings in Tuscany and tea ceremonies in Kyoto to flamenco shows in Andalusia. It’s an enriching way to experience local cultures and traditions beyond the usual tourist highlights.

Inclusive Amenities for a Hassle-Free Holiday

Azamara Cruises offers a generous selection of inclusions as part of its cruise fare. Guests can enjoy gratuities, a selection of spirits, wines and beers, soft drinks, bottled water, speciality teas and coffees, shuttle services in port where available, and laundry services. Select shore excursions are also included on most itineraries.

This inclusive approach allows guests to relax and enjoy the journey without worrying about unexpected costs or add-ons. For an even more elevated experience, guests can upgrade to Azamara’s suite categories, which come with additional perks such as butler service, complimentary dining in speciality restaurants, and private onboard events.

AzAmazing Evenings® and Cultural Connections

A signature highlight of an Azamara cruise is the exclusive AzAmazing Evenings®—complimentary, one-of-a-kind cultural events offered on most voyages. These immersive evenings take place ashore in landmark venues and showcase local art, music, and performance.

Past AzAmazing events have included private performances by classical orchestras in St. Petersburg, traditional dance displays in Bangkok, and open-air opera in Ephesus. These memorable nights bring the destination to life in an unforgettable way, providing a deeper connection to the places you visit.

Fine Dining and Personalised Service

Dining on board an Azamara cruise is a refined, leisurely affair, focused on quality, freshness, and global flavours. The main restaurant offers a varied daily menu inspired by the destinations on your voyage, while two speciality venues—Aqualina and Prime C—provide gourmet Italian cuisine and premium cuts of steak.

Open seating, attentive staff, and an elegant atmosphere enhance the dining experience. Whether you’re enjoying al fresco lunches by the pool, afternoon tea, or an indulgent evening meal, Azamara’s culinary offerings are sure to delight.

The level of personal service is one of Azamara’s greatest strengths. The crew takes time to get to know each guest, anticipating preferences and ensuring your journey feels truly tailored. It’s this attention to detail that makes guests return voyage after voyage.

Wellness and Enrichment at Sea

Azamara understands that modern travellers seek both relaxation and stimulation. Onboard enrichment programmes feature expert guest speakers, destination-themed lectures, and cultural presentations that complement your itinerary.

For those in search of wellness, Azamara offers a tranquil spa, a well-equipped fitness centre, yoga and Pilates classes, and a variety of wellness treatments. Whether you want to unwind with a massage or take a sunrise stretch class before disembarking for the day’s adventures, wellness is woven seamlessly into the cruise experience.

Global Destinations, Year-Round Cruising

Azamara sails to all seven continents, offering more than 300 ports of call across over 80 countries. Popular regions include the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the Caribbean, South America, Asia, and Africa. The line also offers repositioning cruises, transatlantic crossings, and epic world voyages.

Thanks to the longer stays and cultural focus, each itinerary is designed to leave a lasting impression. Guests often return home with a true sense of the destinations they visited—not just snapshots, but meaningful memories.

Who Should Cruise with Azamara?

Azamara is perfect for mature, sophisticated travellers who prioritise destination immersion, cultural enrichment, and personalised service. It’s ideal for couples, solo adventurers, and small groups who value authenticity over flashy onboard attractions.

Guests who enjoy a relaxed pace, thoughtful inclusions, and curated experiences will find Azamara’s cruises deeply rewarding. While families with young children may find limited offerings, more independent travellers will appreciate the grown-up, cosmopolitan atmosphere.
