Azamara Cruises has announced Azamara Forward, an enhancement program across its fleet representing the most extensive renovations and refurbishments in the company’s history.
Across the fleet, enhancements will include a new Chef’s Table experience, a reimagined cocktail lounge, refreshed staterooms and suites, as well as upgraded public spaces.
Fleetwide updates also include redesigned treatment rooms within The Sanctum Spa. Public restrooms throughout the ships have also been renewed.
Additionally, debuting exclusively on the Azamara Quest, the program introduces 12 all-new premier suites exclusive to the ship.
“Azamara Forward is Azamara Cruises’ vision for thoughtfully elevating the onboard experience while honoring the hallmarks that have long defined the brand,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises.
“This transformation reflects years of listening to our guests and travel partners and an extraordinary amount of creativity and collaboration across our teams,” added Ritzenthaler.
From the new Panorama and Grandview Suites aboard the Azamara Quest to reimagined dining and ship-wide enhancements across our fleet, Azamara Forward is designed to deepen destination immersion, elevate comfort, and create even more meaningful moments at sea. It’s celebrating our heritage while introducing new experiences to take us into the future.”
The company said in a press release that the initiative was timed to debut ahead of the 2027 World Cruise, and so the Azamara Quest was the natural choice to introduce Azamara Forward.
The Azamara Onward will be the next ship to receive Azamara Forward renovations in 2027, with timelines for the Azamara Journey and Azamara Pursuit to be announced in due course.
The company added that as Azamara Forward launches across the fleet, guests can expect:
- A new Chef’s Table restaurant
- A reimagined Discoveries Restaurant
- The debut of a recrafted Atlas Bar across all four ships
- A complete transformation of The Cabaret Lounge, and
- Curated updates to every stateroom and suite.
Enhancements on the Azamara Forward include a new Penthouse Deck, Panorama Suites and 10 Grandview Suites.
