Cruise

Azamara Cruises
It’s all about truly immersing yourself in your chosen destination with Azamara Cruises. We love the late-night departures in selected cities and the fact that you often get to stay overnight in some places. Not only do you get a couple of days to explore – you can head out after dark and see the destination by night.

Azamara Pursuit
The Pursuit’s small size means you can visit ports that larger ships can’t reach. She has a sleek design with a modern twist on traditional ship décor – there are dark wood fixtures and furnishings and marble features but with modern clean lines.
