Azamara is not your typical cruise line. With intimate ships, extended time in port, and a passion for immersive discovery, Azamara invites you to truly know the places you visit — not just glimpse them.

Cruise Line Like No Other
Founded in 2007 and now independently owned, Azamara built its reputation around one core belief: the destination should be the star. While most cruise lines spend half their time at sea, Azamara’s four boutique ships are deliberately sized to dock where mega-ships cannot — tucked-away harbors, ancient river ports, and hidden gems that most travelers never reach. On board, you’ll find the warmth of a small hotel combined with world-class service and genuinely inclusive amenities.
Why Azamara Stands
Apart from the Rest
Destination Immersion®
Azamara pioneered the concept of spending 10 or more hours in a single port — their Extended Destination Days™. Rather than a rushed morning visit, you have a full day, evening, and sometimes overnight to wander local markets, join cultural events, and dine like a local.
Smaller Ships, Bigger Access
Each ship carries a maximum of 686 guests — a fraction of what a mainstream cruise carries. This allows Azamara to sail into intimate ports, coastal villages, and lesser-traveled waterways simply inaccessible to larger vessels.
AzAmazing Evenings
On most voyages, Azamara hosts a private, complimentary shore event exclusive to guests — a folk performance in a centuries-old castle, a private sunset dinner on a clifftop, or a local cultural celebration. These are bucket-list moments built into your sailing.
No Formal Nights, Ever
Azamara keeps its dress code at a comfortable “resort casual” every evening. There are no formal nights, no tuxedos required. You’re free to enjoy elegant dining in whatever makes you feel good — relaxed, refined, and entirely yourself.
Four Ships,
One Philosophy
All four Azamara ships share the same intimate character — lovingly refurbished R-class vessels that carry fewer than 700 guests and a crew renowned for remembering your name, your favorite drink, and how you take your coffee. They’re designed to feel like a private club at sea, not a floating resort.
Each ship sails under the flag of Malta and is equipped for ocean crossings, scenic waterways, and snug harbor entries alike. Onboard you’ll find multiple dining venues, a spa, a pool deck, a library, and enough quiet corners to always find your own rhythm.
More Is Included Than
You Might Expect
Your Azamara fare covers a generous range of amenities, so you’re never reaching for your wallet at every turn. Here’s what’s built into every sailing:
Select Beverages
Standard spirits, international beers and wines, bottled water, soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas — all included throughout the day.
Gratuities
All crew gratuities are covered in your fare. No need to budget separately or worry about who to tip and when.
AzAmazing Evenings
A complimentary, private shore event on most voyages — exclusive cultural experiences hosted just for Azamara guests.
Self-Service Laundry
Complimentary self-service laundry facilities on board, so you can pack lighter and stay fresh on longer voyages.
Concierge Services
Personal guidance and reservations for dining, excursions, and onboard experiences — included for all guests.
Complimentary Internet
120 complimentary internet minutes per guest for Veranda Plus staterooms; 240 minutes for suite guests.
From Hidden Harbors
to Grand World Voyages
Azamara’s four-ship fleet fans out across every corner of the globe, with itineraries ranging from country-intensive deep dives to epic circumnavigations. With 25 new ports being added for 2025–2026, there’s always somewhere new to discover.
A Boutique Hotel
Afloat at Sea
World-Class Dining
Multiple dining venues showcase locally inspired cuisine, with expert chefs from each region’s culinary tradition curating menus. For European voyages, chefs from Croatia, France, Italy, Portugal, and Spain craft rotating multicourse meals celebrating each destination’s food heritage.
Destination Events on Deck
On voyages of nine nights or longer, the pool deck transforms into a vibrant alfresco dining experience — an elaborate buffet of regional dishes accompanied by local music and cultural performances under the open sky.
Stories Under the Stars
Fireside-style evenings on the pool deck led by Destination Speakers — experts who bring each port’s history, culture, and stories to life before you step ashore.
Spa & Wellness
A full-service spa and fitness center are available on every ship. Suite guests enjoy additional perks including in-suite afternoon tea service and English butler service.
Azamara Circle Loyalty Program
Repeat guests are rewarded generously through the Azamara Circle program, with escalating benefits, priority access, and exclusive recognition as you sail more voyages.
Azamara Is Perfect
If You Are…
The Curious Explorer
You want to go beyond the tourist trail. You’d rather wander a centuries-old medina at dusk than rush back to the ship. Azamara’s extended port days and overnight stays are built for you.
The Culture & Food Lover

The Seasoned Traveler
