Azamara Cruises presents a new entertainment experience aboard Azamara Pursuit, the first ship in the fleet to debut a new line of original productions developed in collaboration with RWS Global, a world leader in innovative live entertainment and sports experiences.
Launched on April 10, 2026, during the Japan Intensive Cruise, with visits to Kobe, Nagasaki and Tokyo, Azamara Pursuit introduced the first phase of this new entertainment program, which will be gradually implemented across the entire fleet.
The lineup includes two all-new, Pursuit-exclusive shows — Viva Vegas and Yesterday, Today, and Forever — along with fleet-wide shows Written in the Stars and Vinyl Records: The Studio Sessions.
Combining immersive narratives, music, and enveloping design, each production creates a vibrant nighttime experience on board.
“At Azamara Cruises, our commitment to Destination Immersion® extends to all aspects of the guest experience, including overnight stays on board,” said Simon Blacoe, Vice President of Hotel Operations at Azamara Cruises.
“As the first ship to feature this new entertainment program, Azamara Pursuit marks the beginning of a new era of onboard experiences, bringing to life the energy, creativity and cultural richness of the destinations we visit through dynamic shows.”
Created exclusively for Azamara Cruises, these productions combine powerful vocals, live musicians, cinematic visuals, and contemporary arrangements.
– Viva Vegas, a high-energy, 40-minute theatrical concert that reinvents the golden age of Las Vegas lounge shows for today's audiences.
Combining Rat Pack-inspired style and charisma with modern pop touches, the show features dynamic choreography, playful storytelling, and unforgettable performances on a stage of neon lights, crystal details, and vintage glamour.
– Yesterday, Today and Forever, a vibrant and immersive tribute that celebrates the career and cultural impact of The Beatles.
Through iconic music, interactive stage design, and costumes inspired by different eras, the production transports the audience to the defining moments and global influence of one of the most legendary bands in history.
– Written in the Stars, inviting the Azamara audience on a breathtaking theatrical journey where the night sky becomes a living canvas of spectacle, storytelling and wonder.
Guided by celestial muses, two destined lovers embark on a journey that begins in a great library and transports them to a world beyond the pages.
– Vinyl Records: The Studio Sessions, a vibrant show that electrifies the stage with dynamic dancers, live musicians, multimedia projections and a bold narrative, set in the immersive aesthetic of a vintage recording studio.
As the first ship to showcase this creative collaboration, Azamara Pursuit offers a preview of the brand's new approach to onboard entertainment. Guests will also have the opportunity to enjoy select performances that will roll out across the fleet, including Written in the Stars and Vinyl Records: The Studio Sessions, as the program expands.
Azamara Journey will be the next ship to incorporate these immersive experiences starting on May 21, 2026, followed by Azamara Quest in November 2026 and Azamara Onward in March 2027.
This extension of the multi-year alliance strengthens the creative relationship between Azamara and RWS Global, originally initiated in 2017.
