Azamara Cruises

On each Azamara cruise a special AzAmazing event is offered -- complimentary. The value of an Azamara cruise continues with select open bar, with spirits, wine, beer, water and soft drinks; included gratuities to room and dining staff; complimentary shuttle service to and from ports where available; and reduced rates on pre-purchased shore excursions.

Don’t let Azamara’s smaller ship size fool you. Whether on board Azamara Quest, Azamara Journey or Azamara Pursuit, you will enjoy a host of amenities, including opportunities for sampling delicious wines and experiencing delectable culinary creations designed by world-renowned chefs. Entertainment includes a seven-piece orchestra, a casino, and an excellent AquaSpa featuring acupuncture and ayurvedic treatments.

To further ensure your comfort, onboard the Azamara Journey, Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Quest ships, you’ll enjoy fresh-cut flowers, fresh fruit, Elemis toiletries, Frette bathrobes, a pillow choice menu, flat screen televisions, complimentary tote bag, and wireless internet service. Butler service and concierge-style amenities are included if you book one of the high in demand spacious suites.

Azamara offers the cruise industry's greatest assortment of pre- and post-voyage land excursions to complement your Azamara cruise, with excursions available in over 40 nations. There are also AzAmazing Journeys, which are small group programs that last from three to six days and are led by an expert; Stay Local opportunities, which allow cruisers to explore the city of disembarkation or embarkation; and Overnight Experiences, which are overnight excursions offered during the course of a cruise.

The ships are nicely renovated though (like Oceania's small ships), the bathrooms are quite small except in higher stateroom categories (which we'd recommend). What Azamara has going for it is a premium boutique cruise experience, almost yacht-like, featuring late night or overnight visits in ports of call, and an outstanding special event exclusively arranged for guests on each voyage. Very good value.
