The name "Azamara" is a coined term, rooted in Romance language references to blue ("aza"), the sea ("mar"), and a lesser-known word, "acamar," which, in Classical times, was the southernmost bright star that could be seen from the latitude of Greece. Azamara Club Cruises, therefore, is viewed as "a bright star on the deep blue sea."
Unlocking the hidden corners of the world for those who desire to immerse themselves in the rich details of every voyage Azamara Cruises' two deluxe ships – Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest – offer an intimate experience, while allowing access to exotic destinations experienced travellers long to reach. For the 694 guests on each Azamara Cruises ship, every moment at sea embodies the pinnacle of luxury, and each footstep on shore accentuates the difference between visiting a place and getting a true sense of place.
Azamara Cruises is on a quest to conquer the deluxe cruise market and is expressly designed for experienced travellers who appreciate what a cruise vacation has to offer, but are looking for something a little different, and a little more special. And what’s special about Azamara Club Cruises is its pampering and personalized service, extraordinary cuisine, and off-the-beaten-path destinations, with truly immersive excursions. While steeping guests in the history and culture of remote destinations larger ships can’t reach, Azamara Cruises offers guests a more exclusive experience. Both ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, offer English-style butler service in every stateroom and suite; concierge-style amenities, including fresh-cut flowers, fresh fruit and Elemis toiletries; complimentary use of Frette cotton robes, two complimentary pairs of slippers; plasma TVs, and plush European bedding.
Resort casual apparel is welcome in every venue day and night, and the main dining room features open seating. There are also speciality restaurants as well as casual dining options. Guests also can raise a glass to Azamara Quest’s spectacular wine cellar, and participate in wine and champagne tastings, seminars, and mini-pairings of food and wine, or enjoy fine vintages by the glass or bottle either with meals or curled up with a good book.
Azamara Club Cruises also present an enhanced emphasis on rest and relaxation with “AstralSpa,” an inviting an inviting and meditative space that promises indulgence and pampering at every turn, and treatments comparable to those offered in some of the best-known spas on land. Guests in suites can enjoy certain spa services in the privacy of their room. Azamara Quest also offers an outdoor spa relaxation lounge and an aesthetics suite offering acupuncture, micro-dermabrasion and facials.
