Port Everglades officially welcomed Azamara Cruises for the first time, specifically the Azamara Onward. It will be their new winter homeport in South Florida. The ceremony, which included the presentation of plaques and keys at the pier, took place.
“We are honored to extend our highly personalized services to Azamara Cruises and their guests,” said Port Everglades CEO and Port Director Jonathan Daniels. “As a welcoming and convenient port of choice, we are confident that their cruise guests will find themselves pleasantly immersed in all that the port and Greater Fort Lauderdale have to offer.”
The Azamara Onward's four departures from the port this cruise season include a 10, 12 and 14 night Eastern Caribbean voyage, and a 13 night Central American Tapestry voyage, which kicks off the 155-night "Around the World Voyage" that will set sail on January 5, 2024.
The newest ship in the Azamara Cruises collection is built like its other ships, to accommodate up to 700 guests.
“We want to thank Port Everglades CEO and Director Jonathan Daniels and his team for giving a warm welcome to our newest ship, Azamara Onward, as it made its maiden call here in Fort Lauderdale,” said Michael Pawlus, Azamara’s Head of Itinerary Planning.
“With our home base in South Florida, it's always exciting when one of our ships docks close to home. In just a few weeks, Azamara Onward will set sail from here on its inaugural World Cruise from Port Everglades, taking our guests from Fort Lauderdale to more than 40 countries around the globe.”
