Azamara Cruises

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.

Azamara is operated by Celebrity Cruises, Inc., which also operates Celebrity Cruises. However, this brand is still considered a separate cruise line from Celebrity.

Yes, it is glorious - from the moment you step aboard and receive your welcoming mimosa. And what could be better than canap s each afternoon and a nightly treat on your pillow? For those wishing to stay fit, we offer yoga at sunset, Pilates classes, and a world-class Spa and Wellness Center featuring exclusive Elemis treatments (there also happens to be an outdoor spa and relaxation room). If you choose, enrich yourself with lectures by renowned speakers or simply retire to your stateroom, filled with brilliant touches.

There is, of course, butler service to satisfy your every whim, and we offer in-room spa services, too. Those with a passion for delectable dining will adore our two onboard specialty restaurants; they're the finest at sea. Or, you may find a quiet corner in the piano bar and reminisce about your day. And, our live entertainment rivals those in big cities and offers a variety of music and genres.

Yes, it's easy to tell you of all the wonderful amenities Azamara has to offer, but you simply have to live it to truly comprehend it.

The unique offerings of Azamara are beyond compare: 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 Cruises consists of two intimate ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. Each can carry 710 fortunate guests and because they are smaller and sleeker than larger cruise ships, they can sail to ports that others simply cannot reach.

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 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.
