Upcoming Highlights for Azamara Include:
Azamara Pursuit
Departing for its inaugural sailing in August 2018, Azamara Pursuit joins sister ships Azamara Quest® and Azamara Journey® in providing guests with one-of-a-kind curated experiences, and access to a selection of the most exotic destinations around the globe with country-intensive voyages. On its maiden voyage, the ship will travel from Southampton to Norway, visiting eight destinations in the Scandinavian country.
Explore Further℠
Launched in March 2018, Azamara’s new campaign – Explore Further℠ – greatly expands and tells the story of the brand’s commitment to connect people with people; people with cultures; and people with themselves by enabling them to look at life with a new perspective. Explore Further℠ adds 900+ new cultural destination tours to its itineraries that focus on intimate experiences craved by well-versed travelers. An example of the new, expanded shore programming includes cooking with a Parsi family in their home in Mumbai, India. With overnight stays and docking at smaller, less-travelled ports, Azamara welcomes guests to step on land as an insider, and to travel deeper, beyond the initial layers of a city. Additional information on Explore Further℠ can be found on www.azamara.com/explorefurther
2019 Destinations
Azamara’s 2019 itineraries span the globe with new ports and destinations including Alaska, Canada and Japan, which will provide travelers with the opportunity to connect with local cultures and experiences such as a helicopter ride above Juneau’s mountainous terrain before landing on Mendenhall Glacier for a dog-sledding journey with 300 Alaskan huskies. Themed voyages will also take place, including the annual solar and lunar eclipse in the Indian Ocean.
