Azamara Cruises – The Night-and-Day Difference

What makes Azamara cruises different from the rest? It’s their focus on Destination Immersion experiences, which lets you stay longer and experience more on every one of your voyages. You get to explore everything from nightlife in Stockholm and morning walks in the French Riviera to all-day adventures in Costa Rica’s rain forests. Life isn’t on a 9 to 5 schedule, and neither are Azamara voyages.

Small Ships
You’ll also experience incredibly scenic waterways and prime docking locations—two great advantages of their boutique-style, award-winning small ships. On board, you’ll find people who are genuinely friendly and happy to make you feel welcome. And with a maximum of 702 guests, staff and crew can quickly learn your name, tastes, and preferences, too. Plus, you’ll enjoy lots of inclusive amenities that will leave money in your wallet and put a smile on your face. Azamara is the voyage for those who love travel.

Dive Into The World Around You, In a Deeper, More Meaningful Way
Azamara invites you to uncover a world of destinations at a more relaxed pace, giving you time to appreciate the landscapes, culture, and people, by day and night. It’s a richer, more immersive travel experience, where you can rediscover the joy of discovery. Book an Azamara journey with JGT and see the difference between travelled and well-travelled.

Inclusive Amenities At Your Fingertips
Azamara cruises amenities are anything but average. Little luxuries, specialized services, on board events, drinks and dining—everything you can imagine is within reach and included in your cruise fare.

Personalised Comfort Hospitality With Heart
Azamara are in pursuit of perfect service, down to every last detail. Welcome to a world of warm-hearted hospitality tailored to you, that exudes the spirit of community and connection. When you’re in the midst of some of the most dazzling cities, renowned UNESCO World Heritage sites, and “I can’t believe we’re here!” hidden gems, the last thing you want to do is rush back to the ship for an early departure.

Azamara, will not only take you to awe-inspiring destinations, they also give you more time to fall in love with them. They call them “Destination Immersion” experiences, and they’ve evolved the concept so you can “Explore Further” than before, both onboard and on shore. Their unparalleled destinations allow you to cruise global and immerse yourself in fascinating cultures all over the globe, all while enjoying authentic service on your boutique hotel at sea.

Guest Entertainment
Imagine an authentic slice of the Big Apple on board your boutique hotel at sea. The Cabaret Lounge features amazing entertainers in an intimate, engaging atmosphere. It all makes for one inspiring Broadway experience. But it doesn’t stop there. Add in a few magic tricks, a little bit of comedy and unique instrumentalists, and you have something to delight everyone.

Live Music
What better than live music before – or after – dinner. From the cocktail pianist in The Den (Spirits Bar on Azamara Journey), to the Quartet in the Living Room, there is music for every taste. A five-piece band will entertain you prior to show time every night. Throughout the evening you can enjoy a myriad of music genres. Late night in the Living Room is when the DJ features great dance music and the occasional karaoke night. ABBA night is one of the biggest party nights where you can channel your inner dancing queen (or king). Not to be missed whether you are an ABBA fan, or not.

Bright Night

An outdoor entertainment and dining experience, the signature “Bright Night” event is now a ship-wide affair, with entertainment found in two to three venues, depending on ship capacity. The entertainment is fun and lively, and delicious light bites will be served.

Local Entertainment
Most of us travel to experience local culture and entertainment. When possible, Azamara will bring a piece of the destination onboard with local dance troupes, musicians and singers. Through their performances you get a glimpse of the sights, sounds and moves of the destinations without leaving the ship.

AZAMAZING Evenings
Local life really comes alive after dark, and we’ve crafted immersive experiences that help you discover the genuine spirit of your destination. Be dazzled by stunning performances under the twinkling lights of La Croisette in Cannes, or be mesmerized by an evening of traditional dance along the Saigon River in Vietnam. Enjoy the chance to experience the culture and heritage of your destination without having to step away from the comfort of your boutique hotel at sea.

The Den
The Den features a flat-screen TV and full bar, making it the perfect place to unwind with friends, watch sports events or simply sit around the tall tables and exchange stories with fellow guests. Enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail while the cocktail pianist every evening, tickles the ivories and entertains you with soothing background music. The energy usually picks up later in the evening, so stick around and enjoy a fun night with your travel companions.

Enrichment Programme & Classes
Your quest to learn continues with destination lecturers offering their expertise throughout each voyage. These leading destination experts will participate in a range of programs, classes, and lecture series throughout your voyage — all created with our incredible destinations in mind. They’ll also partake in Q&A sessions, and you may even see them around the ship or on shore excursion. Discover the next destination before you dock, learn insider tips to make your time exploring each port of call memorable, and enjoy thought-provoking and entertaining programs hosted by Azamara’s onboard experts. On select sailings of 10 nights or more, there will be a Special Interest Lecturer aboard to provide unique expertise on a range of subjects. And on select sailings of 13 nights or more, an Art Instructor and Bridge Instructor will also be joining.

Onboard Fun
A little friendly competition is healthy. Unwind with Azamara’s stellar selection of onboard activities aimed at stoking your inner competitor. Go head-to-head with friends and other ship guests with a collection of tournaments that include darts, ping pong, soft archery, shuffle board and more. Test your pop culture knowledge at trivia, your luck at bingo, or hone your creativity with arts & crafts. From line dancing classes to Q&A sessions—and everything in between—the greatest fun happens to be at sea.
