MIAMI, August 20, 2026 – Following its well-received 2026 CEO Cruise in Alaska, Azamara Cruises, the Global Leader in Destination Immersion®, has announced next year’s planned sailing as the Azamara Circle Loyalty Cruise, putting the cruise line’s most devoted guests at the center of the experience.
The 2027 Azamara Circle Cruise will take place aboard Azamara Journey from November 10–21, 2027, sailing through Greece, Cyprus and Turkey. Designed specifically around Azamara’s most loyal guests, the sailing will build on the tradition of the CEO Cruise while creating even more opportunities for members of the Azamara community to connect with one another and with Azamara leadership and CEO.
“Our loyal guests are the stars of the show and bring such an incredible passion to Azamara,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises. “The Azamara Circle Cruise is our opportunity to celebrate that passion in a truly special way. From spending time together ashore to enjoying special experiences onboard, it's about creating an unforgettable journey with the people who know and love Azamara best.”
The 2026 Alaska CEO Cruise offered guests a variety of opportunities to experience Azamara alongside its leadership, including hosted excursions with Ritzenthaler, a special Q&A with Azamara executives, a lively onboard silent disco and special events designed to bring guests together. Among the highlights was an Atlas Bar cocktail competition, featuring original creations submitted by bartenders from across Azamara’s fleet and presented during a special event onboard the Alaska sailing. The Nusantara Spritz was chosen as the winning cocktail by a panel that included top Azamara cruisers, Ritzenthaler and members of Azamara Cruises’ executive team.

Lifted with a premium Tonic for a light, sparkling finish and garnished with coffee beans and a lemon twist, creating a refreshing balance of rich coffee, bright citrus and delicate effervescence.
Beginning in December 2026, the Nusantara Spritz will be featured at Atlas Bar as the brand begins to unveil its much-anticipated Azamara Forward initiative.
The 2027 Azamara Circle Cruise will offer loyal guests an opportunity to experience the Azamara Journey alongside fellow members of its passionate community, while enjoying special programming, destination experiences and time with the leadership team. With its intimate setting and focus on connection, the sailing will celebrate the guests who have made Azamara a meaningful part of their travel lives.
