Embrace adventure with Azamara
At Travel Counsellors, we are huge fans of Azamara’s award-winning and pioneering cruises for many reasons. Chief among them is that they offer guests more time in port than any other itineraries, with late nights and overnight stays in many destinations. Azamara’s boutique-style, award-winning cruise ships can visit smaller ports that larger ships cannot reach, and their carefully curated land programmes offer a fantastic choice of unique tours to complement your voyage.
The result is country-intensive itineraries that give you more time to explore a single country’s hidden gems and truly immerse yourself in your fascinating destinations. Azamara’s passionate destination experts work tirelessly to create unique tours and events exclusively for Azamara guests, catering to history enthusiasts, fitness lovers, and foodies alike. Additionally, convenient shuttle services are provided to and from port communities.
This brilliant cruise line currently has an unmissable sailing around the Caribbean. Visiting St. John U.S Virgin Islands, Philipsburg, St Maarten, Castries, St Lucia, St. Pierre, Martinique, and more this sailing is sure to provide memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, with a pre-cruise stay in Miami, the fun starts before you even get on the ship.
Always included in an Azamara cruise are exclusive cultural events, dining in a choice of venues, room service, round-the-clock drinks, and tips. All Azamara ships feature speciality restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, and a variety of nightly onboard entertainment. The crew is also top-tier, providing personalised, yet unobtrusive service.
These mid-sized ships never feel crowded. Each one features a sparkling pool, the sleek Sanctum Spa offering treatments such as carefully crafted half- and full-day rituals, oceanfront massages, and healing Chinese acupuncture treatments, along with plenty of deck space for enjoying the stunning sea and coastal views. When you’re not relaxing or exploring, you can sign up for complimentary onboard fitness and nutrition classes, including one-on-one personal training sessions.
Azamara Pursuit, Azamara Journey, and Azamara Quest were joined by Azamara Onward in 2022. Together, they provide Destination Immersion experiences around the globe on all seven continents, visiting maiden ports worldwide. These small ships are veritable boutique hotels at sea, designed to cross oceans while taking you to the doorsteps of some of the world’s hidden gems, sailing into intimate rivers, and cruising along scenic waterways.
Their itineraries include both iconic destinations and harder-to-reach secrets, offering a genuine insider experience of history, arts, and local culture. Explore destinations ranging from the canals of Bangkok to the centre of Bordeaux, and from the heart of Seville to the buzzing nightlife of Hong Kong.
Among Azamara’s much-loved restaurants, cafés, and lounges is Aqualina, where you can feast on authentic Italian cuisine, including scratch-made pasta, vegetarian dishes, and divine desserts such as Sorrento lemon liqueur mousse and hazelnut chocolate soufflé. Also popular among guests is the Atlas Bar, an exclusive concept that combines artisan cocktails with exotic small plates.
