Azamara Cruises, a deluxe cruise line that was created by Celebrity Cruises, is one of the newest and most popular options in the luxury cruising market. Azamara strives to create a truly unique product, and accomplishes this quite nicely. A special amenity for all guests that are booked on Azamara cruise is that all staterooms receive complimentary butler service (regardless of category room booked).
Currently, Azmara Cruises features two identical 694-passenger sister ships in its fleet, the Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest. 93% of the staterooms onboard each of Azamara's ships features an ocean view, and 68% have a private veranda. Both of Azamara's ships were recently refurbished, via a $17.5 million revitalization project. The upgrades introduced during this process include all staterooms onboard each Azmara ship receiving new European bedding and soft goods, flat screen televisions, new veranda decking and furniture, and wireless internet service (in all staterooms and public areas).
The dining onboard an Azamara ship is gourmet quality, featuring a wide variety of choices.
Each one of Azamara's intimate ships feature two optional specialty restaurants, Aqualina (featuring nice Mediterranean choices) and Prime C (serving excellent steaks and fresh seafood). Guests cruising with Azamara Cruises receive two complimentary specialty restaurant dinners, while guests staying in suites receive three complimentary specialty restaurant dinners.
The Azamara cruise ships travel all around the around, to many of the world's most popular destinations. Azamara takes particular pride in being able to feature quite exotic itineraries, featuring some ports of call that are not often visited on other cruise lines. What allows them to do this is the size of their ships. Being smaller ships, relative to the other major cruise lines, Azamara is able to "fit" into a few ports of call that the super-large ships of other lines cannot.
