In the world of cruising, Azamara stands out as a small-ship cruise line that has redefined the art of exploration. With its unique concept of "Destination Immersion" and "Extended Destination Days," Azamara has created a new era of cruising, offering travellers the chance to delve deeper into the heart of incredible destinations. And now, they're taking this concept to the next level with their Grand Voyages.
Azamara's Grand Voyages are a testament to the spirit of exploration, designed to let you experience the world like never before. These extended sailings offer more time in port and come with a treasure trove of added amenities, making each journey an unforgettable adventure.
Carol Cabezas, the president of Azamara, shared, "Over the past few years, we've seen more of our guests opting for longer itineraries and back-to-back sailings. In response to this increasing demand for prolonged travel, we've created Grand Voyages to encourage our guests to travel farther and delve even deeper into the rich tapestry of cultures, cuisines, and traditions that make up our world. Our ships will be their home away from home as they travel from South Africa to Portugal, or from Japan to Greece, creating meaningful memories along the way."
One of the hallmarks of these Grand Voyages is the inclusion of Extended Destination Days. With at least 10 hours in port and even late and overnight stays, travellers have ample time to explore each place they visit in depth. Whether it's the culinary delights of Copenhagen, known for having the most Michelin-starred restaurants in Scandinavia, or the awe-inspiring beauty of Cape Town with its iconic Table Mountain and the gateway to the expansive Cape Winelands, you'll have the time to savour it all.
What makes Azamara's Grand Voyages truly special are the added amenities. Each journey comes with complimentary economy class airfare, giving you a hassle-free way to start your adventure. Plus, you'll receive up to $1,200 in shore excursion credits to help you explore each destination to the fullest. An upgraded premium beverage package, Wi-Fi for two devices, and weekly laundry service are also part of the package.
But that's not all. Azamara's commitment to exceptional service shines through in their Grand Voyages, just as it does in every sailing with Always Azamara. You'll have access to five dining options, including beverages (yes, even alcohol) available 24/7. Tips and gratuities are covered, ensuring you can relax without worrying about extra costs. Exclusive cultural events are part of the experience, offering insights into the destinations you visit. And to make your life even easier, you'll have access to unlimited self-service laundry.
Azamara's Grand Voyages are an invitation to travel in style and luxury, letting you explore the world's most captivating destinations with the comfort of their intimate ships. These epic journeys take you from isolated islands to vibrant cities, from the heart of Japan to the charms of Greece. With Grand Voyages, Azamara is redefining the way you experience the world, one unforgettable journey at a time. Don't miss your chance to become a grand voyager with Azamara and create lasting memories on the high seas.
