Azamara Cruises has unveiled 85 new cruises for its 2028-29 season.
Sailing from October 29, 2028, through May 19, 2029, the program will visit 81 countries, featuring 210 ports of call, 94 overnight stays and more than 200 late-night departures.
Guests can experience the Mediterranean, explore the coastlines of Australia and New Zealand and discover Japan during cherry blossom season on all four ships: the Azamara Onward, Journey, Pursuit and Quest.
“These newly announced cruises reflect what makes Azamara so special, allowing guests to go beyond the expected and experience destinations in a more meaningful way,” said Mike Pawlus, Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara.
“We’re especially excited to offer guests more opportunities to explore Africa and the Indian Ocean, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, with itineraries featuring destinations such as Western Australia and the Kimberley Coast. From rare port calls to extended stays that allow travelers to connect with local culture, these itineraries are designed to make every destination an integral part of the journey.”
