Azamara

Azamara is designed for travellers who want to experience destinations more deeply, not simply pass through them. Its immersive cruising philosophy focuses on longer stays, frequent late nights and overnight ports, allowing you to explore places at a more natural pace. Aboard ships such as Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, this approach creates time for meaningful discovery. When paired with our tailor-made Azamara packages, guests can enhance their cruise with culturally rich excursions, private tours and carefully selected pre or post-cruise stays.

Every Azamara voyage balances thoughtful planning with the freedom to explore, offering curated experiences that reflect the character of each destination. From guided heritage walks and private tastings to scenic coastal journeys, each day can be shaped around your interests. On boutique ships like Azamara Pursuit, this personalised approach is supported by attentive service and a relaxed onboard atmosphere. As part of a bespoke Paramount Cruises package, flights, hotels and shore experiences are seamlessly combined into a refined and stress-free holiday.

Azamara itineraries are carefully designed to maximise time ashore, with fewer sea days and more late departures and overnight stays than many cruise lines. Sailing aboard Azamara Onward, guests can experience destinations from early morning through to evening, enjoying local dining, culture and atmosphere long after day-trippers have departed. When built into a tailor-made Azamara holiday, this extended time in port allows for deeper exploration, slower travel and truly memorable moments.

A defining feature of Azamara cruising is its focus on authentic, locally inspired experiences. Through extended port visits and expertly curated excursions aboard ships such as Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, guests can connect with destinations on a deeper level. From regional cuisine and cultural performances to expert-led tours, each experience is designed to reveal the true character of a place. With our bespoke Azamara packages, these moments can be elevated even further, from private excursions and personalised land arrangements to iconic event experiences such as our Monaco Grand Prix package, seamlessly woven into your journey.

Thanks to their small-ship design, Azamara vessels including Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Onward can reach lesser-visited ports and hidden coastal gems that larger ships cannot access. This opens the door to exploring charming harbour towns, remote islands and culturally rich destinations away from the crowds. When combined with a tailor-made itinerary from Paramount Cruises, these unique ports can be paired with carefully selected hotels and bespoke shore experiences, creating a journey that feels truly distinctive.

Why rush when there is so much to enjoy? With Azamara’s select overnight stays and late departures, you can experience destinations at their most atmospheric, from golden-hour strolls and sunset cocktails to evenings filled with local dining, music and nightlife. Then wake to peaceful mornings and a new perspective before the crowds arrive. It is the perfect way to enjoy the best of both worlds while immersing yourself more deeply in local culture.
