There are no long queues or busy terminals. Instead, you step onboard and complete check-in directly on the ship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreia described the experience as easy and refreshingly calm. With just over 700 guests onboard, there is a noticeable lack of crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A refreshed ship that feels thoughtfully designed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the refurbishment, Azamara Journey feels elegant without being overdone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The public spaces flow naturally, making it easy to move around without congestion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This more relaxed pace also carries through to the itinerary itself. Our <strong>Azamara Journey Itinerary Review: Why Seville to Lisbon Feels Different<\/strong> explains how this plays out across the sailing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cabins: simple comfort with the option to upgrade<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cabins are comfortable and well designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the bathrooms in standard cabins are smaller, Andreia found them perfectly functional. However, upgrading to a suite offers more space, a larger bathroom and added benefits like butler service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"10743\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Balcony Stateroom on Azamara Journey\" class=\"wp-image-10743\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/7-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"10741\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Guests on Azamara Journey\" class=\"wp-image-10741\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/8-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" data-id=\"10742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Pool deck on Azamara Journey\" class=\"wp-image-10742\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-750x425.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3-1140x646.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/6-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A social atmosphere without the noise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Den replaces the traditional casino and works well as a relaxed lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Living Room and Cabaret Lounge provide entertainment that feels engaging but never overwhelming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying connected when you need to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The addition of Starlink Wi-Fi makes a noticeable difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Andreia found the connection fast and reliable throughout the cruise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dress code: relaxed but still refined<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paramountcruises.com\/cruise-lines\/azamara\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Azamara<\/strong><\/a> keeps things simple with a resort casual dress code and no formal nights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Azamara Journey worth it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Azamara Journey offers a quieter, more personal cruise experience focused on destination rather than onboard attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dining is also a big part of the experience.
