Azamara Club Cruises

We’ve just got home from our sixth Azamara Cruise - and Vicky has booked our next two with them. Azamara is a small cruise line which currently has two ships - Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, with a third, the Azamara Pursuit due to start cruising in August 2018. Why do we love Azamara so much? It’s a mixture of factors. They are small ships - 690 passengers. That means no queuing to get on and off at ports and no fighting to get on a tender to go ashore when the ship’s anchored. The service onboard is terrific, as you would expect with 390 crew members, but over and above that it’s always service with a smile. Bartenders and waiters get to know our choices very quickly. Food onboard is first class whether eating in Windows buffet or the main dining room, Discoveries. All drinks and tips are included too, which means we don’t have to worry about our spending on the ship. We’ve been to some wonderful destinations with Azamara - Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Central America. Azamara specialises in what they call ‘destination immersion’. That means that they may stay for two days in a port, or stay docked until late in the evening, giving us time to do longer tours. For example, on a recent cruise from Athens to Dubai the ship docked at Safaga in Egypt for two days, which meant we were able to fulfil a lifetime ambition by taking a two-day tour to Luxor and the Valley of the Kings.” Written by one of my 'Azamara super-fan customers'
