Azamara
is the new, deluxe cruise experience for
discerning travelers who long to reach
out-of-the-ordinary destinations and
indulge in amenities and service
unparalleled on the high seas.
The
unique offerings of Azamara are beyond
compare: butler service is provided in
every stateroom; our shore excursions
(we prefer to call them shore
immersions), are designed to let guests
become part of the fabric of life in
each destination, instead of merely
being an observer; our enrichment
programs offer everything from culinary
to photographic explorations; our two
specialty restaurants provide the finest
cuisine at sea; live entertainment can
be enjoyed nightly; and the level of
service offered is unmatched.
Azamara
Cruises consists of two intimate ships,
Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each
can carry 694 fortunate guests and
because they are smaller and sleeker
than larger cruise ships, they can sail
to ports that others simply cannot
reach.
In
addition to offering a more personalized
experience, our ships have recently
undergone a $17.5 million revitalization
with new European bedding and soft
goods, flat screen televisions, new
veranda decking and furniture, and
wireless internet service in all
staterooms and public areas. Plus, 93%
of our staterooms offer ocean views and
68% have a private veranda.
You may
be wondering where the name Azamara
comes from. Azamara is a coined term
derived from the Romance languages. This
includes the more obvious links to blue
(az) and the sea (mar).
The name was also inspired by a star,
Acamar.
In
Classical times, the star Acamar was the
most southerly bright star that could be
seen from the latitude of Greece. We
think of Azamara Cruises as a star on
the blue sea. We love the flowing name
that conjures up the imagery of
magnificent journeys around the world.
And we look forward to sharing these
voyages with our guests.
