Azamara Onward

Life isn’t a 9 to 5 experience. Azamara voyages aren’t either.

When you’re in the midst of some of the most dazzling cities, renowned UNESCO World Heritage sites, and “I can’t believe we’re here!” hidden gems on Earth, the last thing you want to do is rush back to the ship for a 4:00 p.m. departure (or 5:00 p.m., if you’re lucky).

Well, here at Azamara®, we not only take you to awe-inspiring destinations, we also give you more time to fall in love with them. We call them Destination Immersion® experiences, and we’ve evolved the concept so you can Explore Further than before, both onboard and on shore.

Our unparalleled destinations allow you to cruise global and immerse yourself in fascinating cultures all over the globe, all while enjoying authentic service on your boutique hotel at sea.

You could see as many as three distinctly different shows while onboard. And considering the cost of theatre and entertainment tickets back home, isn’t that nice?

Located just outside Azamara’s main restaurant, this congenial bar is a favorite gathering place for pre- and post-dinner conversation and drinks. Bar service includes a full selection of fine wines, mixed drinks, and premium spirits…plus the entertaining banter of Azamara’s friendly bartenders.

Our onboard coffee corner may very well become your favorite nook on the ship. And with elegant and comfortable furniture, it's bound to be one of the the most stylish places, too. You'll find all your favourite coffee drinks and you can order them just the way you like. We recommend that you slip right into a comfortable seat and sip for a while—you never know who'll walk by.

The idea of the Living Room is just that. To “live in” and to enjoy time with friends and fellow guests! Much of the room is furnished as a living room, with clusters of large comfortable chairs and sofas....

It's the perfect space for guests throughout the day and evening to engage in lively conversations, take in interesting speakers, peruse art, play a game of cards, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, wines & tapas, delightful music, or simply relax with a good book.

CARD ROOM

On the starboard side of the Living Room, guests will find the Card Room for those who love a round of Bridge or other games.

IN TOUCH

Inside the Card Room guests will have four computers available for use during the voyage.

This library is one of the quiet jewels of Azamara, a peaceful and beautifully appointed space for reading or relaxing after dinner. Browse the collection and feel free to borrow the library books. Or simply relax in the tranquil atmosphere. But our library goes beyond just paper, we have interactive digital tabletops so you can make your own postcards and post to social media to share your adventures with the folks back home. The library is also home to our impressive Inspiration Center—a digital way to explore the world with Azamara and gain inspiration for your next voyage.

The Drawing Room turns into a gorgeous dining room on the evening of the elegant Best of the Best dinner for Owner’s Suite guests.

A little friendly competition is healthy. Unwind with our stellar selection of onboard activities aimed at stoking your inner competitor. Go head-to-head with friends and other ship guests with a collection of tournaments that include darts, ping pong, shuffle board and more. Test your pop culture knowledge at trivia, your luck at bingo, or hone your creativity with arts & crafts. From line dancing classes to Q&A sessions—and everything in between—the greatest fun happens to be at sea.

From our cocktail pianist in The Den, to our Quartet in the Living Room, there is music for every taste. Our five-piece band will entertain you every night. You can enjoy a myriad of music genres, even on request. Late night in the Living Room is when the DJ features great dance music and the occasional karaoke night.

Authentic Experiences! - In 2011, we launched AzAmazing Evenings as an experiential way for our guests to dive deeper into cultures and traditions around the world. Since then, these bespoke one-of-a-kind events, exclusively created for and attended by our guests, are one of the Destination Immersion® highlights of an Azamara Cruise.

Unforgettable Performances - This year, we’ve expanded our portfolio by adding over 30 new celebrations in the most spectacular ports.

This deck is available for guests enjoying the sun and views from high up. It is also a beautiful vantage point for sunsets (or sunrises), and a quiet stroll at night. For those who love shuffle board, this is the place to go.

Adjacent to Windows Café, the Sunset Bar is a welcoming outdoor patio with covered and open-air seating, and a bar. It's the perfect place for dining alfresco, enjoying a refreshing drink, taking in the sights of your favorite port, or simply watching the world sail by.

Our Pool Bar serves refreshments while enjoying the Pool during the day, and cocktails of your choice in the evening.

While spending daytime sun-drenched and relaxed by the pool, don’t think of missing Azamara’s famous White Night party held at least once on every cruise (weather permitting). Colourful décor and linen-draped tables, a fabulous buffet feast, and boutique wines on the house make this an event like no other.
