Special Facebook Event
Azamara Club Cruises and Afar Media team up for a special event that asks “Is it possible to travel deeper on a cruise?” Join the conversation on Thursday, April 9th from 3-4pm ET on Afar Destination Magazine’s Facebook page (click here for link).
Traveling deeper on Azamara Quest
Step 1: Shipboard excellence
Before you can travel deeply, the shipboard experience has to deliver. In my opinion, the first ingredient to an amazing cruise experience is great staff (complimentary coffee and wine at dinner also help). Nothing is better than coming back to the ship where the staff and crew are genuinely glad to welcome you home after a day in port.
Step 2: Longer stays in port
One of the benefits of cruising with Azamara is longer stays in port. The advantage of having more time to explore is apparent the first time a cruise visitor stays in town long after sunset.
Unlike other cruise lines that pull ropes and boogie out of town before dinner, Azamara has many itineraries that feature overnight visits in port or delayed departures allowing guests to enjoy a port of call during the evening, which is one of the ways the boutique cruise line delivers destination immersion experiences.
Another way that Azamara Club Cruises delivers immersive experiences that help guests travel deeper are unique shore excursions like the ones I experienced while sailing on Azamara Quest.

In addition, Azamara’s Nights and Cool Places program features a curated selection of after-dinner tours designed to complement your daytime explorations.The featured activities highlight the architecture, arts, and scenery that are best experienced after night falls, like a guided walk around illuminated landmarks, an after-hours museum visit, and live performances.
