About Azamara Cruises

Azamara is a luxury offshoot of Celebrity Cruises (which is itself a luxury offshoot of Royal Caribbean Cruises.) Azamara is "positioned" to compete with the ultra-luxury lines (Seabourn, Silversea, Regent, et cetera.) and the ships are certainly more luxury than mainstream - being boutique and tastefully furnished and the service (butler) is first rate.

Launched in 2007 the intimate ships, interesting itineraries and attentions to detail are what set Azamara apart.

Competing with Oceania et al, Azamara is not really aimed at the young and is not for smokers.

“Azamara about Azamara”

Azamara is the new, deluxe cruise experience for discerning travelers who long to reach out-of-the-ordinary destinations and indulge in amenities and service unparalleled on the high seas. The unique offerings of Azamara are beyond compare: butler service is provided in every stateroom; our shore excursions (we prefer to call them shore immersions), are designed to let guests become part of the fabric of life in each destination, instead of merely being an observer; our enrichment programs offer everything from culinary to photographic explorations; our two specialty restaurants provide the finest cuisine at sea; live entertainment can be enjoyed nightly; and the level of service offered is unmatched.

Azamara Club Cruises consists of two intimate ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 694 fortunate guests to discover the hidden corners of the world that larger cruise ships simply cannot reach. In addition to offering a more personalized experience, our ships have recently undergone a $17.5 million revitalization with new European bedding and soft goods, flat screen televisions, new veranda decking and furniture, and wireless internet service in all staterooms and public areas. Plus, 93% of our staterooms offer ocean views and 68% have a private veranda.

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 Club 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.

Larry Pimentel, Azamara President...

Welcome to the "club," and thank you for visiting. In December, our baby boutique brand - which launched as "Azamara Cruises" in 2007 - became "Azamara Club Cruises." We're taking what was already an incredibly good product and are devoted to making it absolutely exceptional.

Cruising with Azamara Club Cruises allows you to not just see the destination, but to live it. Consider destinations like St. Tropez, or St. Petersburg, Russia. If you've experienced them only by day, you haven't really experienced them. But with Azamara Club Cruises, you can…because we're slowing down the tempo, to include more overnight stays and late-night stays in the many captivating locations we visit around the world.

And our focus on destination immersion begins well before you step foot on shore. Onboard the ship, our destination experts are poised to prepare you for your time ashore, enlightening you about the various ports of call, and offering insight into the sights, sounds and flavors that await you. We've also tailored our entertainment and enrichment programs to reflect the destinations you'll visit, to help you get the most of your time ashore.

Speaking of flavors, you'll soon find a tantalizing, expanded wine program onboard, with tastings that will introduce you to some spectacular, limited-availability wines from the finest boutique wineries in the world - with fine wines you may never have the opportunity to sample at home, because they produce such a small quantity and distribute only locally. And, beginning in April, our top-quality house wines will be offered complimentary during both lunch and dinner service.

Many new amenities also will be included within your cruise fare from April 2010 onward, such as bottled water, sodas, and specialty coffees and teas in all areas of the ship. Meals and room service also are inclusive, as are gratuities for our dedicated housekeeping and dining staff.

Dining in our inviting specialty restaurants, Prime C and Aqualina, will be available complimentary for suite guests throughout the cruise beginning in April. Our stateroom guests are guaranteed two nights, and beyond that, can dine in our specialty restaurants throughout the voyage, based on availability, for a cover of $15 per person. Additionally, we offer a self-service laundry facility at no cost. And, where possible, we're adding complimentary shuttle bus service to and from ship and city centers of the port communities we visit.

All of us at Azamara Club Cruises are eager to present to you all of our new features and amenities. And, at the same time, we're retaining one constant, which is the exceptional service provided by the warm, dedicated crew on each of our intimate, 694-guest ships. These incredible people are committed to offering warm, personalized, yet non-intrusive service. We strive to offer a refined, friendly and upmarket experience at every turn, from true English butler service in our luxurious suites and attentive and professional attendants in all staterooms, to our new wellness and vigor programs that offer so much more than simply a spa and a gym.
