"Azamara Club Cruises: You'll love where we take
you." This is the tagline that you'll first read once you visit
the newly-refurbished website of Azamara Club Cruises. Read on
to find out more about the company behind the brand, their ships
and the destinations where they promise to take you.
Azamara Club Cruises Company Information
The name of Azamara Club Cruises comes from a coined term derived
from the Romance languages which are blue (az) seas (mar). When
this is combined with the name of the Acamar star – it all adds
up to the name Azamara being roughly translated to "a star on a
blue sea".
What makes Azamara Club Cruises a truly deluxe cruising experience
is the fact that they provide unparalleled amenities. How do you
feel about getting butler services once you are booked in one of
the staterooms? This is offered in combination with culinary
lessons, photographic explorations, specialty restaurants and
live entertainment.
Another thing which sets Azamara Club Cruises
apart from other cruise vacation packages is the 'shore
immersions' experience that they offer to passengers. Unlike the
larger cruise lines where there are thousands of passengers, the
smaller group of travellers can be booked together so that an
organized shore immersion program can be conducted. Here, you
can immerse yourself in the local culture of the place that
you're visiting – whether it's an exotic paradise island in Asia
or a chic destination in Europe.
They also offer a combination of land and cruise tours so that you
won't have to rush from one destination to another. As such, you
can enjoy both the cruise itself and the time that you'll spend
on the land destination of your choice.
Azamara's Quest & Journey
Right now, Azamara Club Cruises has a fleet of two luxury
vessels, including:
1. Azamara Journey
The Azamara Journey first sailed on May of 2007. The 30,000-ton
ship can carry almost 700 passengers. Here, you can enjoy the
luxury of having butler service if you're staying in a stateroom
or a suite where you can have breathtaking veranda views of
fiery sunsets.
The Journey ship of Azamara also has two specialty restaurants,
a piano and wine bar, live entertainment and a host of other
entertainment options.
2. Azamara Quest
The 694-passenger, 30,000-ton Azamara Quest first sailed on

features from bow to stern.
The Azamara Quest has specialty restaurants, concierge
amenities, a Spa and Wellness Center, a piano and wine bar, live
entertainment and daily enrichment programs.
