Azamara Cruises

Small ships, deeper journeys

Azamara is built around a simple idea: that the best parts of a cruise often happen after everyone else has sailed away. With smaller ships, longer stays and more overnight calls, Azamara gives travellers time to properly settle into a destination, whether that means dinner ashore, a slow wander through an old harbour or a second morning in a city that deserves more than a quick hello.

SMALL-SHIP SAILING

Travel on relaxed, elegant ships designed to reach smaller ports and feel calm, personal and easy to settle into.

LONGER STAYS ASHORE

Spend more time in port, with late departures and overnight calls that let each destination breathe a little.

DESTINATION IMMERSION

Explore through food, culture, history and local experiences, rather than rushing through a highlights reel.

OVERNIGHT ADVENTURES

Enjoy cities after dark, from waterfront dinners to evening markets, music and a second morning ashore.

Small ships, deeper journeys

Some cruise lines are built around the ship. Azamara is more interested in what happens when you step off it. Its smaller ships are designed for more immersive itineraries, from Mediterranean harbours and Adriatic old towns to island ports, cultural capitals and places that reward a slower approach. You still get the ease of unpacking once, being looked after and returning to a comfortable cabin at the end of the day. You just get more time to let the destination do its work.

Longer stays and overnight calls

There is a particular sadness in leaving a port just as the light gets good. Azamara understands this, which is why its itineraries often include late-night departures and overnight stays. That extra time changes the whole feel of a cruise. You can see the main sights by day, return to the ship for a shower, then head back out for dinner, music, markets or a proper wander once the city has stopped performing for the coach groups.

Destination Immersion, without the rush

Days ashore can be shaped around food, history, music, architecture, local life or simply the joy of wandering without having to sprint back to the ship before the interesting bit starts. On selected sailings, AzAmazing Evenings add cultural performances and special events designed around the destination. It is a natural fit for Cruise Collective members who like their travel with a bit more texture. The sort who want to find the market, sit down for lunch somewhere local and still have time for one more street before heading back on board.

"“We loved having time to properly settle into each port, rather than feeling like we were constantly watching the clock. The overnight stays made such a difference, especially being able to go ashore for dinner and see the cities come alive after dark.”"
