From starlit soirées to local nightlife, Azamara delivers more after dark

MIAMI (June 11, 2025) -- Azamara Cruises, known for its Destination Immersion® and industry-leading number of late-nights and overnights in port, is giving travelers a chance to see the world in an entirely new light — moonlight.  While most cruise lines sail away before sunset, Azamara Cruises is just getting started.

Guests will enjoy more time – and more local culture – beneath the night sky in some of the world's most iconic ports through curated night tours, double overnight stays, and a brand-new Stories Under the Stars program. Picture sipping local wine by lantern light in a secret Croatian garden, watching flamenco dancers under the stars in Seville, or hearing ancient legends by moonlight on the deck of Azamara’s intimate ships.

Double Overnights, Double the Discovery 

Azamara Cruises will offer 28 double overnight stays across its fleet from Asia to Europe and beyond, allowing guests to spend two consecutive nights in port. In addition to the impressive number of double overnights Azamara also offers a selection of over 13,500 shore excursions and 246 exclusive nighttime excursions.

Highlights of double overnights with exclusive Azamara nighttime excursions include:

  • Spain Cruise: Valencia, Malaga & Seville – Double overnight in Seville, Spain where guests can treat themselves to a Flamenco Evening at the legendary Tablao El Arenal and witness the expressive and evocative artistry of this renown dance.
  • Southeast Asia Cruise: Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City & Hong Kong – Double overnight in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and ride in an open-air Jeep, sample local culinary delights and get a feel for how the locals live and play by night.
  • Bermuda & Caribbean Cruise – Double overnight in Hamilton Bermuda where travelers can book a sunset cruise and sample libations prepared with the island’s national rum cocktail.

Sampling of More Exploratory Night Tours

Azamara Cruises has partnered with local guides to offer an evolving collection of night tours that reveal the after-hours spirit of each destination. A few highlights include:

  • Palma, Mallorca – Timeless Elegance: An enchanting evening at the historic Can Vivot palace, featuring a Spanish guitar performance in the Sala de la Música and a refined aperitif.
  • Dubrovnik, Croatia – Old Town Hidden Garden Wine Escape: A sunset stroll through Old Town, followed by a curated Croatian wine tasting in a secluded garden tucked within the city walls.
  • Málaga, Spain – An Authentic Evening by the Sea in Pedregalejo: A relaxed evening in a historic fishing district with seaside views and freshly grilled espeto, a local culinary tradition.
  • Singapore – Nightlife Adventure: A Club Hopping Experience: Dive into the city’s electric nightlife scene, from stylish cocktail bars to high-energy clubs in Clarke Quay.

Stories Under the Stars: Fire-side folklore paired with s’mores and spiked hot chocolate

New for 9+ night cruises, Stories Under the Stars invites guests to gather on the pool deck for an atmospheric evening of regional myths, folklore, and storytelling led by one of Azamara Cruises’ 250+ Destination Speakers. Set under the open sky and paired with s’mores-inspired desserts and chocolate-infused cocktails, these events bring the ancient legends of each region to life in a relaxed fireside-style format. No reservations required – guests walk in, settle into a cozy lounge chair with a blanket, and let the stories transport them.

These new offerings complement guest favorites like AzAmazing Evenings®, Azamara’s signature cultural event series that brings destinations to life through exclusive, one-of-a-kind performances, and White Night, the beloved onboard celebration where guests gather under the stars for an elegant alfresco dinner, live music, and dancing. Together, these experiences showcase Azamara’s continued commitment to curating unforgettable nights that go far beyond the expected.

Both on board and ashore, Azamara invites guests to own the night with immersive experiences that celebrate the magic, mystery, and allure of each destination after dark.
