Corners of the World
An Azamara Voyage is a Voyage for the Senses
Azamara CruisesSM
unlocks the hidden corners of the world for those who desire to
immerse themselves in the rich details of the voyage. Both luxurious
ships, Azamara JourneySM and Azamara QuestSM, create a more intimate
experience while allowing access to the kinds of remote ports
of call most travelers long to reach - over 175 ports of call
in more than 60 countries. Every moment onboard represents a rich
array of finely crafted details and graceful amenities - butler
service in all staterooms, small-scale, immersive excursions,
enriching offerings such as culinary and photographic explorations,
customized stateroom experiences, and culinary encounters inspired
by the world's most renowned chefs - delivered with a passionate
commitment to service.
The 710-passenger
Azamara Journey made its maiden voyage in May with a series of
seven-night Bermuda itineraries, and will sail to South America
and Antarctica this winter and next, and to Europe in the summer
of 2008. In October, Azamara Quest will join Azamara Journey,
offering guests the chance to visit exotic Caribbean and Panama
Canal destinations through the winter before sailing in Europe
in the summer of 2008, and Asia in the fall of 2008. Azamara Cruises
will offer a world cruise in 2009-2010.
Unforgettable
Itineraries
For the 710 passengers fortunate enough to embark on one of these
unique voyages, each moment at sea embodies the pinnacle of luxury
and each footstep onshore accentuates the difference between visiting
a place and getting a true sense of place.
As each voyage
unfolds, guests can immerse themselves in the subtleties of each
destination - not just where it lies on the map, but its cultural
and culinary flavors, its natural wonders, and its historical
nuances. Every carefully orchestrated itinerary represents an
exceptional opportunity to experience a facet of travel that transcends
the ordinary, creating an enriching journey that will leave an
enduring impression.
Azamara's
shore and land excursions offer experienced travelers a way to
step off the beaten path and absorb a destination's culture and
history. From crystalline glaciers and plummeting waterfalls to
cliff tops and pink flamingos, the sights and sounds of Azamara's
excursions bring breathtakingly unique glimpses of our world to
our guests.
Impeccable

to be overlooked. Guests sailing with Azamara will enjoy a more
