Azamara Club expands with new ‘Journey’
In just under a month,
the 690-guest Azamara
Journey from boutique
cruise brand Azamara
Club Cruises will make
her Australian debut,
fresh from a US$25m
refurbishment.
Following in the wake
of her sister ship Azamara
Quest – who made
her maiden visit to Australia
last season – she will bring with
her a unique type of holiday
featuring longer stays, more
overnights and night touring.
Together, the boutique ships
offer travel-savvy Australians
an immersive way to explore
the entire world.
Azamara Club Cruises prides
itself on its ‘Destination Immersion’,
offering more frequent
overnight stays in port as well
as late-night visits, so guests
can completely immerse
themselves in destinations on
a more intimate level. Plus the
boutique size of the line’s two
jewel-box ships
means they
can enter ports
that the bigger
liners can’t,
so guests can
uncover unique
locations and
cultures all over the world.
In Australia and New
Zealand, guests can experience
homegrown beauty and
fascinating culture. Azamara
Journey will first arrive in
Darwin on February 8, as part
of her Asia repositioning, and
stay sailing in the region until
early March, offering two Aus-
tralia and New Zealand
sailings and a return Asia
repositioning voyage.
Unmissable destinations
such as the Great Barrier
Reef, Hamilton Island and
Port Arthur in
Australia, and
Milford Sound,
Akaroa, Bay
of Islands and
Picton in New
Zealand, all
feature.
Azamara’s Europe
itineraries
range from three
to 18 nights and
include all the
gems and highlights
travellers have come to
know and love, but also some
of the region’s lesser-known
locales: destinations in the
Mediterranean and Adriatic like
Kotor in Montenegro, Opatija
in Croatia, Durres in Albania
and Sorrento in Italy. And in the
Baltic, guests visit ports such as
Visby in Sweden, Gudvangen
and Geiranger in Norway and
Tallinn in Estonia.
And Azamara’s hotly
anticipated ‘World Journey’,
which departs from Sydney in
2018, will take guests on an
unforgettable, 102-day trip of
a lifetime calling at 60 ports in
29 countries.
More is included as standard
on board with Azamara: luxury
accommodation, gourmet
cuisine, alcoholic beverages
and soft drinks, gratuities,
self-service laundry, shuttle
transportation to city centres in
most ports as well as Azamara’s
signature AzAmazing Evening
Events, which deliver a bespoke,
complimentary evening of
culture created specifically with
Azamara guests in mind.
Best of all, guests only need
to unpack once, so every moment
of their holiday can be
spent enjoying the treasures of
the world. More info Travel View
