No Stone Left Unturned

With Azamara Cruises, you’re always a little closer to the world.
Get closer to your dream destinations and discover the best of the best with Azamara Cruises. This small-ship cruise line is the recognized leader in Destination Immersion, which allows guests to connect more deeply and intimately with their chosen destinations. Longer stays, more overnights, and docking at ports inaccessible to larger ships make for a cruising experience like no other. Get up close and personal with the places you’ve always wanted to discover, and never look back.

Immersive, Exclusive Experiences
Azamara Cruises specializes in elevating every experience beyond your wildest desires. Overnight stays, private tours, and pre- and post-cruise programs make it possible to truly soak in the full experience every destination has to offer. Picture yourself enjoying an artichoke dish and delicious glass of red wine in Rome’s Piazza Navona in the evening, without feeling rushed to make it back onto the ship, because you’re staying overnight and getting the chance to fully immerse yourself in the Eternal City’s nightlife.
In Athens on an overnight stay, you can sit at a rooftop café with a stunning view of a lit-up Parthenon in the distance, snacking on local fare like tzatziki and a classic Greek salad, or maybe even stop to have drinks and smoke a water pipe at a hookah bar afterwards. The night is young! Delve even deeper into each destination with pre- and post-cruise options that lengthen your stay, giving you a few days on land before you set sail. It’s the best way to get the most out of every trip.
Sailing the Mediterranean in Winter
An Azamara Cruises Mediterranean cruise in late fall or early winter has many advantages. For one thing, there are far fewer tourists, allowing the ones that are there to avoid all the long lines and crowded attractions. The weather is often mild and cool (perfect coat weather!) with sunny days and some rain, making it easy to pack for your trip and visit all the same places you would go to in spring or summer.
There are also more deals to take advantage of, especially for cruisers on a budget. And, of course, cruises in December have one spectacular draw you won’t find any other month—Christmas markets! These sparkling markets are a real treat, where you can munch on gingerbread, drink mulled wine or hot cocoa, and peruse handcrafted, unique items like toys and jewelry. Even Santa couldn’t think of anything better.


Alaska the Way it’s Meant to Be
An Alaska cruise with Azamara Cruises ensures that no stone is left unturned. Signature experiences like glacier-front cruising and immersive wilderness adventures that take you nearer to wildlife than you’ve ever been (with safety always in mind, of course) craft a truly all-embracing Alaska adventure. Find yourself left completely speechless by thickly forested islands, icy blue glaciers, cascading waterfalls, and towering granite cliffs as your vessel sails through fjords and inlets larger ships cannot access—this is the Alaska many others will simply never see. And don’t forget to choose your adventure, literally: kayak Bartlett Bay, fish Alaskan waters, take a glacier trek, hike Tongass National Forest, or go whale watching for humpbacks and orcas. The world is your oyster.
Always Azamara
With Azamara Cruises, the best parts of your voyage are already included. Enjoy a variety of culinary experiences, sip your favorite drinks day or night and relax knowing gratuities are always covered. Simply sail away and enjoy a journey designed to give you more at every turn.
