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. When you’re not relaxing or exploring, you can sign up for complimentary onboard fitness and nutrition classes, including one-on-one personal training sessions.
Azamara Pursuit, Azamara Journey, and Azamara Quest were joined by Azamara Onward in 2022. Together, they provide Destination Immersion experiences around the globe on all seven continents, visiting maiden ports worldwide. These small ships are veritable boutique hotels at sea, designed to cross oceans while taking you to the doorsteps of some of the world’s hidden gems, sailing into intimate rivers, and cruising along scenic waterways.
Their itineraries include both iconic destinations and harder-to-reach secrets, offering a genuine insider experience of history, arts, and local culture. Explore destinations ranging from the canals of Bangkok to the centre of Bordeaux, and from the heart of Seville to the buzzing nightlife of Hong Kong.
Among Azamara’s much-loved restaurants, cafés, and lounges is Aqualina, where you can feast on authentic Italian cuisine, including scratch-made pasta, vegetarian dishes, and divine desserts such as Sorrento lemon liqueur mousse and hazelnut chocolate soufflé. Also popular among guests is the Atlas Bar, an exclusive concept that combines artisan cocktails with exotic small plates.

A group of Travel Counsellors recently headed to Alaska with Norwegian Cruise Line, setting off from Seattle aboard Norwegian Bliss. The trip gave the group a chance to experience the ship and its ports first-hand, picking up ideas and insights to share with customers planning their own cruise. And with Alaska on the bucket list for so many, there was plenty to look forward to once the ship left Seattle behind.
Some holidays are about fitting in as much as possible. Others give you the luxury of taking your time. A voyage along the Atlantic coasts of Spain and France with Cunard offers a little of both: days spent discovering great food, architecture, and historic cities ashore, balanced by unhurried time on board as the scenery changes beyond the ship. In 2027, consider a seven-night voyage from Southampton aboard Queen Anne. You can wake up ready to explore Bilbao, spend the following days discovering Galicia, and finish with a taste of Normandy, without changing hotels or repacking along the way. Two days at sea create a natural pause between these stops, giving you time to enjoy the ship rather than simply moving from one destination to the next.
Cunard’s new voyages for October 2028 to May 2029 bring together winter sun, European city stays, and far-reaching journeys across the world. Guests can mark a milestone at sea on Queen Mary 2, spend an evening in Rio de Janeiro during Carnival with Queen Anne, or join Queen Elizabeth for a 115-night World Voyage. There’s also a 10% Early Booking Saving on eligible bookings made by 30th December 2026.*
