Azamara Club Cruises consists of two intimate ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 694 fortunate guests and because they are smaller and sleeker than larger cruise ships, they can sail to ports that others simply cannot reach.
You may be wondering where the name Azamara comes from. Azamara is a coined term derived from the Romance languages. This includes the more obvious links to blue (az) and the sea (mar). The name was also inspired by a star, Acamar.
In Classical times, the star Acamar was the most southerly bright star that could be seen from the latitude of Greece. We think of Azamara Cruises as a star on the blue sea. We love the flowing name that conjures up the imagery of magnificent journeys around the world. And we look forward to sharing these voyages with our guests.
Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest have been designed to navigate into smaller, more remote ports of call, giving guests the opportunity to see life at its most exotic and authentic. Guests are invited to become part the local fabric of life instead of merely observing it.
Azamara’s shore and land excursions offer experienced travelers a way to step off the beaten path and absorb a destination’s culture and history. From crystalline glaciers and plummeting waterfalls to cliff tops and pink flamingos, the sights and sounds of Azamara’s excursions bring breathtakingly unique glimpses of our world to our guests.
The two ships each feature an onboard “excursion expert,” who will not only help guests select shore excursions based on their personal interests, but also serve as a destination guide, offering information about the culture and history of each port of call.
Sumptuous Dining
Each meal onboard Azamara Cruises promises to be a voyage unto itself, with nightly culinary artistry inspired by the world’s most accomplished chefs and by the bountiful regions through which each itinerary travels. To further enhance the experience, vintages from an extensive wine list will be offered to complement each dish.
Sesame-seared yellowfin tuna steak with tamarind stir-fried Asian vegetables, jasmine rice and a sake soy-wasabi reduction…sacher torte with apricot coulis…and that’s just the main dining restaurant, Discoveries. Despite the ships’ smaller size, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest each feature twospecialty restaurants. Prime C is an authentic steak and seafood restaurant. Aqualina pairs regional, multi-course Mediterranean-style menus with wine menus.
The ships, which do not require formal attire for dining, also feature open seating in the main dining room. Additional dining options onboard include Windows Café, which offers casual dining during the day, and in the evenings becomes casual dining with a twist; 24-hour room service and a sushi café.
