Azamara announced that its entire four-ship fleet has now officially returned to revenue operations.

According to the company, the fleet is offering country intensive itineraries, immersive land programs, and more overnights in each port, in order to allow guests to fully immerse themselves in each destination.

“I am beyond thankful to our hard-working team and dedicated crew members for all the incredible work and effort that has brought us to this exciting moment,” said Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara.

“Thanks to them, our four-ship fleet are all sailing for the first time ever, allowing us even more opportunities to immerse our guests in the smaller ports and hidden gem destinations of the world,” she added.   

As its fleet returns to service, Azamara is also continuing to reinforce its commitment to Destination Immersion experiences, the company said.

The independent cruise line will visit 362 unique ports around the world, with 392 overnight stays, 862 late nights, and over 3,000 shore excursions, nearly 1,000 of which have been created since the pandemic began.

Onboard restaurants, including Discoveries and Windows Café, have redesigned each menu to feature World Cuisine Selection dishes, highlighting a variety of countries visited by Azamara ships.

Additionally, guests sailing on the Azamara Onward can experience the Atlas Bar, a new specialty venue that offers what the cruise line calls “innovative artisanal cocktails” including the Grand Bazaar, London Fog Martini, and the Tuscany Delight. 

Azamara’s newest ship, the Azamara Onward celebrated its launch with a naming ceremony and traditional christening in Monte Carlo on May 2.

Following the ceremony, the vessel embarked on an 11-night maiden voyage throughout the Mediterranean, departing from Monte Carlo and concluding with an overnight stay in Ravenna, Italy.

The Azamara Onward is currently in the midst of a seven-night Greece Intensive Voyage.

The Azamara Journey returned to service on Thursday embarking on a ten-night Greece Intensive Voyage, while the Azamara Pursuit sets sail today for a five-night Grand Prix Weekend Voyage, and the Azamara Quest embarks on a nine-night Spring Med & Grand Prix Voyage.
