Azamara refurbishment 2016

Ship Buzz: Azamara Journey and Quest refurbishment

I am totally pumped! I could not be more happy for guests who will be cruising on the newly Reimagined Azamara! (Get details here: http://bit.ly/1KMWvWL). When I discovered that Azamara Journey and Quest are scheduled for refurbishment beginning in 2016 I immediately thought “it’s about time.”

I am a big fan of the two sister-ships and after the refurb, I will be able to refer to them as “the total package.”

Although I am mostly concerned with exceptional service, attentive staff, and unique itineraries, I did feel like Quest could use a little makeover when I sailed on her last year (read about it here Aegean discovery: Istanbul to Athens). But there are limitations to a ship her size and the public spaces were well appointed and any shortcomings were shadowed by the impeccable service and extraordinary feeling like you were part of the family. But now the two sisters will undergo an extensive dry dock that will modernize the fleet and for those that appreciate impeccable interior design and stylish decor, there will be much to celebrate.

Azamara Journey will enter drydock in January 2016 in the Bahamas, and the Azamara Quest in April 2016 in Singapore

Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest – will undergo “major upgrades” while in dry dock in early 2016, reinvigorating the onboard guest experience. The mid-size ships that accommodate up to 686 guests will be outfitted with new venues, public spaces and technologies to bring fresh services and amenities to guests. From bow to stern, there is no area on the line’s ships that will be untouched. The upgrades include all staterooms and suites, dining, spa and entertainment.

“We are best known for our Land Discoveries programs which have enabled us to boast an unprecedented number of repeat guest bookings as well as strong back to back voyage reservations. As we continue to evolve our destination immersive offerings, we also want to ensure our onboard experience is modernized to meet guests’ every need,” says Larry Pimentel, President and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises. “We can’t wait for our ships to come out of dry dock as these major upgrades are going to have an instant impact on our guests’ experience. Each corner of the ships will have a new look and feel, setting a brighter, more contemporary ambiance, while the new venues will bring guests fresh experiences. We’re also investing in new onboard innovations and have paid close attention to the smallest of details. We really are redefining our onboard experience in every way.”
