Azamara

Sold by Royal Caribbean Group in January 2021, Azamara is already expanding under its new owners, Sycamore Partners. The destination-focused line has brought forth a ship, Azamara Onward - the former Pacific Princess - which, like the rest of the fleet, is a Renaissance Cruises R-class. But regular customers needn't worry.

In fact, they'll notice little change under the new ownership, as many itineraries will continue to be based on single countries, with late nights and overnight stays in port. The signature AzAmazing evenings - exclusive shore-based cultural events - and optional pre or post-cruise land tours are also staying.

Manta

The breathtaking destination of Manta, where the Pacific caresses its sandy shores and the verdant cliffs offer a mesmerizing backdrop. The climate, a tropical delight, ensures year-round warmth, making it a haven for those escaping colder realms. Manta thrives on providing an authentic local experience, far from the usual tourist paths, where traditions are not just observed but are a vibrant part of daily life. The lively Montecristi, known for its handwoven Panama hats, a misnomer that speaks to the local craftsmanship, punctuates this genuine slice of Ecuador. Here, every breeze carries a story, every corner a local legend, offering more than just a visit but an immersion.

Valparaiso

Chile holds a central role in global tourism, and Valparaiso exemplifies this with its blend of architectural styles and its influence on poets and painters worldwide. While influencers have covered its picturesque views extensively, Valparaiso hides layers of local life in its alleyways and hilltops, waiting to be discovered by those who venture beyond the mainstream paths. The city's ability to inspire art and literature across continents continues to draw admiration, embodying a living canvas that invites exploration and appreciation beyond its surface charm.

Excellent

We joined Azamara in Maritius and then travelled to Malfives, Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia and finished in Singapore. It was the first time we had been on an Azamara ship although I have done over 20+ cruises. We could not fault anything about the ship, the staff and amazing cruise director Eric Grey. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked whilst onboard a back to back cruise to South America.

Embarkation nightmare

Overall the ports of call all very interesting,as the title suggests embarkation was pure farce,one line to drop bags 35-40 minutes and another to have carry-ons scanned again 35 40 minutes in the hot sun. Thank goodness it wasn't raining!People turning up before their designated time didn't help. Once on board we had to check in in the cabaret lounge, quite a slick operation. Aqualina was disappointing with my fish being well overcooked and my partners pasta was dried up with a crust around the edge, we sent them back and the second attempt was exactly the same, Service was rushed as if the kitchen wanted to finish the shift early.Not good for a paid for specialty restaurant. PrimeC was much the same extremely disappointing. The head chef was Indian soo at least Indian themed dishes had some flavour otherwise the food was pretty bland with left overs unimaginatively served at breakfast. The stateroom was typical Azamara compact ,the bathroom was tiny ,with the shower the same,tiny and with a curtain Our favourite spot was the Sunset bar with outside seating for all meals,heaven. The production shows were wonderful,the rest of the offerings we didn't bother with. As I said at the beginning the itinerary was great, but overall a disappointing cruise with inadequate seat in public areas. As with nearly all cruise lines the crew were faultless ,particularly Sanjeev and Milroy.

Once again a near faultless cruise.

From check in at Athens to leaving the vessel at Citiavechia the cruise was really enjoyable and the staff so very helpful and willing to give a hand. Some ports were only accessible by Tender, but there was little delay getting off the ship, thanks to the small number of passengers! It would be difficult to pick out individuals for commendation because they were all so good. Looking forward to our future cruises with AZAMARA.

Style on a different level

This was our 4th Azamara cruise and we were not disappointed. From start to finish you are made to feel special. Their ships maybe of the older style and definitely no flumes or such like and really not ideal for children as there is nothing for them to do. If you enjoy good food and attentive service on a well run ship where you can do as little or as much as you want this cruise line is for you. They have lectures on the ports of call and their cruises are reknown for their port intensive experience, staying in port longer than some of its larger competitors. The icing on the cake for Azamara are the Azamazing evening where they will take you by bus to a venue which could be an opera, or local dancing of the country or to a typical village of the country you are visiting with food and drink. Also the other feature they do so well is the White night where tables are set around the pool and a buffet, served by the officers and music and dancing goes on into the night. All in all a cruise full of experience where you are treated as a person not a number.

Amazing Azamara

From start to finish great service from friendly efficient crew and staff. Great variety of entertainment on board and really special Azamasing evening of operatic singers in Rhodes castle, an inclusive trip for all passengers . As always wonderful choices of food in variety of venues. Azamara is smaller ship cruising at it's best.

Azamazing cruise

Our second Azamara cruise but not our last. The ship was a cool haven in what was a very hot August! The itinerary perhaps, would be better suited to cooler, less busier periods but was ok! Good great as usual, especially Prime C! Service really excellent too!

Azamara Journey

What a fantastic all inclusive cruise experience we enjoyed. The attendant we had for our room ensured we were wel catered for with our media needs and the afternoon quizzes and food were real highlights for us. We enjoyed every moment on boats and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We’re looking forward to sailing with you again!

Azamara was the most horrible experience we ever had our bathroom didn't work 6 days out of 12 day cruise Customer service from guest relation manager and from Hotel manager to maintenance Manager just useless with bunch of lies the working crew was good but when you need to go to bathroom we had to go to public bathroom on deck above that is unexpectable. We were promised that when we get home to USA the customer service will be able to provide some kind compensation and that was promise from Guest relation Manager that was lie plus their customer service is the worst we ever experience they will lied to you till you will give up. Highly don't recommend Azamara as cruise line their is the reason the company was sold by Royal Caribbean because the ships are our dated need to to be in scrapyard because it's been in service 20+ years and numerous owners. The main company Sycamore Group with business rating big F and that the way they are running Azamara cruises with big F
