Azamara® Cruises is a small-ship cruise line and the recognised leader in Destination Immersion® experiences, offering a unique way to travel that connects guests more deeply with the places they visit. Since 2010, Azamara has specialised in longer stays, more overnights, and docking at smaller ports inaccessible to larger ships—allowing travellers to explore both marquee destinations and hidden gems around the world.
One of Azamara’s most distinctive features is its hallmark Extended Destination Days, offering 10 or more hours in port, as well as frequent overnight stays that allow guests to truly immerse themselves in the local culture, history, and cuisine. Our signature AzAmazing Evenings® bring guests even closer to the destinations they visit, offering exclusive, private events that highlight the heart and soul of local cultures. These unforgettable evenings provide rare access to cultural performances and authentic experiences that reveal the essence of each locale, deepening the connection between traveler and destination.
The Azamara experience permeates from onboard with our top-tier crew, premier service, and a fleet of boutique ships. Azamara is comprised of four R-class ships: Azamara Journey®, Azamara Quest®, Azamara Pursuit® and Azamara Onward®. Our smaller ships accommodate up to 702 guests, and are perfectly sized to cross oceans, sail into intimate rivers, cruise along scenic waterways, and dock at locations bigger ships can’t reach.
Our global guests come to us for the destinations we visit and the cultural connections we make, but they return to Azamara for the unforgettable hospitality that our crew provides. Our staff-to-guest ratio is 1.7 staff to 2 guests, and this allows us to offer personal, hands-on and friendly service from the first point of contact to the end of the voyage. Our crew comes from every corner of the world, and are the men and women at the heart and soul of our brand.
One-of-a-kind, complimentary, immersive cultural experiences exclusively created for Azamara guests, continuing our commitment to Destination Immersion®. First launched in 2011 to inspire guests to dive deeper into the heart of each destination, these extraordinary evenings showcase music, art, and culinary traditions in unique settings where authentic culture truly comes alive.?
Most AzAmazing Evenings® take place ashore, often in iconic venues while the ship stays late in port, aligning with our hallmark of Destination Immersion®, bringing guests closer to local culture in remarkable locations. On select occasions, including seven- and eight-night itineraries, equally captivating experiences are brought onboard.
*For sailings of 9 nights or longer, exceptions may occur when local infrastructure does not allow for an onshore event; in such cases, the experience will be hosted onboard. In rare cases—such as select transoceanic crossings or charters—AzAmazing Evenings® will not be offered.
