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.

Find all your favourite coffee drinks crafted just the way you like. Slip right into a comfortable seat and sip for a while—you never know who'll walk by.

Located just outside Azamara’s main restaurant, this congenial bar is a favourite 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.

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....

Card Room & In Touch

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. Four computers and interactive table tops are available for guest use during the voyage.

Enjoy live performances of professional full-stage musical revues, classical soloists, bands and other entertainment in a cabaret nightclub with a full bar and cozy tables. 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?

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.

Imagine an authentic slice of the Big Apple on board your boutique hotel at sea. The Cabaret Lounge features amazing entertainers in an intimate, engaging atmosphere. It all makes for one inspiring Broadway experience. But it doesn’t stop there. Add in a few magic tricks, a little bit of comedy and unique instrumentalists, and you have something to delight everyone.

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.

Join Azamara officers and crew for our signature dinner and entertainment event hosted al fresco on the pool deck (weather permitting). With an array of delicious food and engaging entertainment, your White Night experience will almost certainly be one of the most memorable times from your voyage. And don’t forget to bring something white to wear for the evening.

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. Be captivated by an enchanting operatic experience in the village of San Pantaleo in Sardinia or go back in time as you step into a vibrant medieval festival with knights and jesters in the historic Dover Castle in the English countryside. No matter the voyage, these unparalleled experiences will be the highlight of your trip.

This One's On Us - Best of all, AzAmazing Evenings are included, with our compliments, on all cruises except transatlantic crossings and voyages that are less than seven nights long. Reserve your seat by accessing the Shore Excursions section of your reservation at no additional cost.

Our photographers capture both fun and professional photos throughout the voyage, whether it is your portrait, or photos of the destinations you visit. You can also find an assortment of supplies for your own photographic endeavours.

Aptly named, Indulgences will satisfy your desires for the finer things in life. If you are looking for designer jewellery, it's the perfect place to window shop or to find that extra special purchase.

Pick up sundries, casual wear and swim fashions, sunglasses, accessories, music and shipboard keepsakes. This is a great place for small gifts to take back home.

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 favourite 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. Not to forget the fun and fast-paced show our entertainment team puts on.

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.

You’ll be hard-pressed to find such a collection of limited production, small label and rare vintage wines anywhere on the high seas! And with vintages from France to California, and Argentina to South Africa, you’re sure to find a wine to suit your palate and your journey. Our knowledgeable sommeliers can help you pick the perfect wines for your evening meal.

Our playbill features a variety of amazing performances to keep you entertained while onboard. Sit back and enjoy your evenings on a high note with our onboard entertainment.
