Bright Lights & White Nights: The Magic of Azamara
on 24 Jun 2024
Small, genuine, authentic and immersive. Although it's hard to truly define the magic of Azamara, these four words capture the essence of the Azamara Experience. Having just returned from back-to-back cruises with Azamara, I can confidently say that the experience was nothing short of extraordinary, taking us to a once-in-a-lifetime event and the pinnacle of formula I, the Monaco Grand Prix. This experience with Azamara has not only shown me the world in a new light but has also created lasting memories of connection, discovery, and enjoyment. Alison & I have loved and cruised with Azamara for many years, having hosted groups of loyal Azamara & PHT clients on these unique and immersive voyages, and will continue to do so for many years to come. I can't wait to set sail again.
Unparalleled Itineraries
Azamara's itineraries are carefully crafted to showcase the charm and beauty of lesser-known destinations. Azamara itineraries are packed with extended destination days, allowing you to delve deeper into the local culture and scenery. From walking the historic streets of Sicily, immersing yourself in the vibrant culture of Seville, or discovering the picturesque small ports of Croatia, these voyages are designed to give you a deeper understanding of each destination, with late stays and overnight visits that let you experience the local nightlife and ambiance.
A Truly Immersive Experience
One of the things I love about Azamara is the fact that you're able to find yourself deeply immersed in each destination with carefully curated voyages that prioritise extended stays in ports, allowing you to explore local life and culture from day to night through authentic excursions that reveal the true essence of each destination. It's an opportunity to truly immerse yourself in the local culture, whether it's visiting quaint villages or enjoying local cuisine, Azamara ensures that you have ample time to truly connect with each destination. With small ships & under 700 passengers, this allows Azamara to dock in the smallest of ports and some of the best berths in Europe.
Exceptional Staff At All Levels
Azamara's exceptional staff play a pivotal role in creating an unforgettable cruise experience. From the moment you step on board, you’ll be greeted by a team that is attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making your journey special with staff at all levels fully committed to making sure your time aboard truly exceeds your expectations. The dedication and warmth of the crew, officers, and even the captain, will make you feel right at home and eager to return for another voyage. There is truly a wonderful feeling of community onboard, emphasised by the attentive and friendly staff from the captain down.
White Nights & AzAmazing Evenings
Ten years ago, Azamara introduced AzAmazing Evenings, providing guests with an immersive way to explore the world's cultures and traditions. This year, Azamara has elevated the experience with even more extraordinary events. AzAmazing Evenings offer in-depth encounters that connect you deeply with the local culture, creating moments that bring you closer to your destination, its traditions, and its people. Meanwhile, Azamara White Nights on deck promise to be among the most memorable highlights of your voyage, featuring a delightful array of food, engaging entertainment, and breathtaking views as your backdrop. These special evenings are undoubtedly what make sailing with Azamara so unbelievably special and I would encourage you to experience Azamara and their spectacular offerings for yourself.
I truly recommend the 13 Night Spain Intensive Quest Voyage. This itinerary offers the best of Spain, Portugal, and Bordeaux, with visits to 9 ports, 7 extended destination days, and 2 overnight stays, including the famous ‘White Night’ party in Lisbon, Portugal.
