The allure of a luxury cruise endures

In the cruising world travellers seek to temporarily leave their lives ashore and be inspired with highly personalised experiences, enthralling itineraries, and upscale luxury on ships that feel like boutique hotels floating on the sea. This is precisely the Azamara trademark. Azamara offer an intimate fleet of just four ships – which accommodate no more than 702 passengers on each – providing exciting itineraries on almost every continent on earth, from Europe to Africa, and Australia to the Americas, including transoceanic journeys. These ships – Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Onward – are the perfect size to cross oceans, but can still sail into intimate, hard-to-reach rivers and ports where they can dock at locations bigger ships can’t.

If you’re looking for a luxurious and intimate way to explore the harder to reach regions of the world, Azamara is your cruise line. Here’s what helps make Azamara so special:

Premier service and world-class amenities

Azamara provide mid-size ships with intimate deck plans that are never, ever crowded. You’ll have a choice of restaurants, cafes, bars, lounges, pools, sundecks, and spas – and the list goes on. Meanwhile, your staterooms and suites are extremely spacious and luxuriously furnished, offering fresh flowers, complimentary bath products, plush cotton robes and 24-hour room service (while some suites also offer a personalised butler service).

Riding the seas with you is a top-tier crew providing service that always exceeds expectations, so you’ll never wait long for anything on an Azamara cruise. Azamara are a stand-out in the cruise world because they blend upscale luxury on the high seas, but all with a casual cruising ambience so you’ll always feel relaxed.

Access to remote locations

This is what sets Azamara aside, their ships are intimately-sized enough to access even the hardest to reach rivers and ports, meaning you can visit anywhere you’ve ever wanted to; stopping at ports that bigger ships can’t dock at. Their ships sail into narrow rivers and cruise right along scenic waterways, meaning you can see some of the world’s top sights from the comfort of your ship. Azamara is a perfect fit for passengers seeking the lesser known and harder-to-access ports which other major cruise lines bypass, so prepare yourself for the world’s hidden gems free from mass tourism.

You’ll take custom itineraries organised by some of the most reputable independent travel experts on the planet – locals who know where the real treasure lies. You’ll be privy to a specially curated collection of excursions which allow an authoritative look at your destinations while also allowing you to explore and enjoy each destination in ways that suit your personality and travel desires. Group sizes are limited to a maximum of 26 guests.

Inclusivity
