Azamara is pleased to unveil its 39 new itineraries across its four-ship fleet for 2023 and 2024. This latest deployment will take Azamara guests to every corner of the globe, with each ship in a different location: Azamara Pursuit in South Africa, Azamara Quest in South America, Azamara Journey in Australia and Asia, and Azamara Onward in the Mediterranean and Caribbean. Azamara’s winter voyages will also feature several new shore excursions, pre- and post-cruise shore programs, and AzAmazing Evenings, all designed to take guests to the heart of each destination and ignite a sense of wonder as travelers explore each city’s unique culture.
“With this launch of itineraries, we are delighted to offer more than 20 inaugural ports, docking in smaller destinations that larger ships cannot access, and for the first time, we will have a ship in every corner of the world. Furthermore, this November we will introduce a new and highly requested Azamara offering: worldwide voyages,” says Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara. “Our new voyages will offer countless opportunities to rediscover yourself through travel and connect with local people and cultures.”
Exclusive to Azamara, AzAmazing Evenings are offered during last nights and nights in port. Designed to connect guests with a destination's local culture, they are uniquely tailored to each location. AzAmazing Evenings highlights include:
