Azamara is getting ready for the first drydock of its Azamara Forward drydock program, which will take place later this year onboard the Azamara Quest.

According to an update shared on social media, the company’s team was recently onboard the vessel in Seville, Spain, to review design plans throughout the ship.

The company said that its executives were joined by MJM Marine representatives to walk through the spaces that will be transformed as part of Azamara Forward.

MJM Marine will execute the work onboard the 2000-built ship, which will take place ahead of the company’s 2027 World Cruise.

“Every one of our rooms is getting completely refreshed with new curtains, carpets, furniture and bedding. I can’t tell you how beautiful these rooms are going to be,” Azamara’s CEO Dondra Ritzenthaler said.

“We feel like not only are we refurbishing our ships for all the existing spaces, but we are giving our guests something new as well,” she added.

“The thing that I really want our guests to take away from what’s coming on Azamara Cruises is that we deliver on our promise to be the global leader of Destination Immersion,” Ritzenthaler continued.

Martha Brabham, Azamara’s vice president for design and revitalization said that with the new design of the staterooms, the company wanted to create welcoming spaces that feel like a home-away-from-home.

“We wanted to use a very light and fresh color palette that has hues of blue and light grays,” she explained.

“Our guests love our ships, and I think they’re enamored with how our aesthetic is elegant yet relaxed, so we want to maintain that for them,” Brabham added.

Chief Maritime Officer Minas Miliaras said that the program aims to keep the same level of comfort that guests currently see onboard.

“We’ll install a number of technical solutions, including a floating floor. On top of this, we are investing in the sound elements of our music lounges,” he explained, noting that these two initiatives will make sure that passengers have quieter staterooms.
