At Travel Counsellors, we are huge fans of Azamara’s award-winning and pioneering cruises for many reasons. Chief among them is that they offer guests more time in port than any other itineraries, with late nights and overnight stays in many destinations. Azamara’s boutique-style, award-winning cruise ships can visit smaller ports that larger ships cannot reach, and their carefully curated land programmes offer a fantastic choice of unique tours to complement your voyage.
The result is country-intensive itineraries that give you more time to explore a single country’s hidden gems and truly immerse yourself in your fascinating destinations. Azamara’s passionate destination experts work tirelessly to create unique tours and events exclusively for Azamara guests, catering to history enthusiasts, fitness lovers, and foodies alike. Additionally, convenient shuttle services are provided to and from port communities.
This brilliant cruise line currently has an unmissable sailing around the Caribbean. Visiting St. John U.S Virgin Islands, Philipsburg, St Maarten, Castries, St Lucia, St. Pierre, Martinique, and more this sailing is sure to provide memories that will last a lifetime. Plus, with a pre-cruise stay in Miami, the fun starts before you even get on the ship.
Always included in an Azamara cruise are exclusive cultural events, dining in a choice of venues, room service, round-the-clock drinks, and tips. All Azamara ships feature speciality restaurants, a state-of-the-art spa and fitness centre, and a variety of nightly onboard entertainment. The crew is also top-tier, providing personalised, yet unobtrusive service.
These mid-sized ships never feel crowded. Each one features a sparkling pool, the sleek Sanctum Spa offering treatments such as carefully crafted half- and full-day rituals, oceanfront massages, and healing Chinese acupuncture treatments, along with plenty of deck space for enjoying the stunning sea and coastal views.
