Azamara Cruises presents its summer 2026 departures, with 77 new itineraries that will take guests to captivating destinations, iconic locations and ports of call that will delight and inspire.
Azamara Journey®, Azamara Quest® and Azamara Onward® will spend the summer season in Europe, covering the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, including extended stays in Greece, Ireland, the British Isles and more.
Among the new itineraries are three solar eclipse cruises taking place in August 2026, offering guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the spectacular natural phenomenon from the sea.
“At Azamara Cruises, we always strive to offer new and incredible experiences to our guests,” said Michael Pawlus, Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara Cruises. “The rare opportunity to include solar eclipse sailings in 2026 is very exciting, and we are thrilled to offer such a unique experience.”.
In addition, Azamara Cruises will add five inaugural ports to its European lineup in 2026—ports only accessible to smaller ships—and debut new pre- and post-land programs. These cruises will continue to offer more nights and overnight stays than any other cruise line, ensuring that Azamara guests have ample time to truly discover the culture and communities of these extraordinary destinations without feeling rushed.
“Europe remains a leading destination for us globally, so we are thrilled to announce one of our largest European deployments to date,” Pawlus continued. “With three ships in the region from March to October 2026, we can offer our guests more choices than ever before, taking them to less-traveled ports and hidden gem destinations, and offering new shore-based immersive experiences for the first time.”
