A standout destination is Jamestown, Saint Helena, a remote island in the South Atlantic with a rich history, including its association with Napoleon Bonaparte’s exile. Travelers can also discover the Indian Ocean’s Vanilla Islands, including the Seychelles, Mauritius, Réunion, and Madagascar.
Azamara Journey in the Med
Azamara Journey will ply the waters of the Mediterranean during the region’s slow season, as well as Iberia and the Canary Islands. Visiting 16 countries and 65 ports of call, Journey offers opportunities to visit destinations with fewer seasonal crowds and a closer connection to everyday local life.
Select itineraries include three consecutive days in Alexandria, Egypt, providing additional time to explore the country’s ancient wonders. Other special moments include an overnight stay in Marseille over Christmas Eve and an overnight in Çanakkale, Turkey.
Azamara Pursuit in Asia-Pacific
Azamara Pursuit will offer an extensive season in the Asia-Pacific region, combining Australia and New Zealand with immersive exploration of Japan. Highlights include a journey along western Australia’s remote Kimberley Coast, with an overnight in Broome and a sailing from Sydney to Singapore featuring several Great Barrier Reef gateway destinations.
From late March through May 2029, five consecutive Japan Intensive sailings offer more opportunities to explore the country during the spring, with itineraries designed to give travelers the chance to experience Japan’s cherry blossoms across multiple ports.
Azamara Quest From the Med to the Caribbean
Before transitioning to the 2029 World Cruise, Azamara Quest will offer a collection of Mediterranean, transatlantic, and Caribbean sailings from October 29, 2028 through January 1, 2029.
