THE RELENTLESS
PURSUIT OF discovery.
It’s the reason we choose to travel AND WHY OUR MANY GUESTS CHOOSE TO JOIN US FOR THE ADVENTURE.
It’s why our boutique hotels at sea sail to the ends of the globe, stopping in both landmark locales and places you may know little about prior, but will never forget. And it’s why we were the first in the industry to pioneer longer stays and overnights in port, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in your destinations at all hours. Home is sweet, but we were not meant to stay home. We were meant to explore. Stay longer. Experience more. There’s a wide world to discover.

PORTS BIGGER SHIPS CAN’T VISIT
/
ALL OVER the WORLD. It takes a grand vessel to traverse oceans, yet a smaller ship to visit some of the world’s most intimate locations. Our three sister ships, AZAMARA JOURNEY®, AZAMARA QUEST®, and AZAMARA PURSUIT SM, combine the best of both worlds—they’re the perfect size to cross the Atlantic and also dock in hard-to-reach ports, positioning you in the city center of wonderful destinations the moment you step off the ship. When in the likes of Tokyo, Hong Kong, Sydney, Reykjavik, Venice, Lima, and more, a few steps off the ship will place you in the heart of the action, allowing more time to tour, shop, dine, converse, and trek, however you so choose. When it comes to authentic travel, size is everything.

OUR OTHER FAVORITE ‘SHIP’.
You’ll hear the phrase ‘welcome home’ mentioned by our crew upon your return to the ship after a day or night exploring on shore. And it’s true. Home is comforting, relaxing, familiar, and that’s exactly what we strive to convey onboard. It’s the kind of place where our captain will give you the watch off his own wrist after hearing you left yours at home (true story). Or the type of place where our crew will turn the ship around 180 degrees so you can have a sunset view with your birthday dinner. After a couple of days, you may notice your favorite bartender already remembers your drink order, or your stateroom attendant turns down your sheets exactly the way you like them. It’s attention to the small details that goes a long way. And attention to everything in between. WELCOME HOME. IT’S NICE HERE.

OUR CREW
/
For our staff and crew, working with Azamara isn’t just a job. It’s an opportunity to go above and beyond, to make your day extra special, and to showcase our passion with many other travel enthusiasts like yourself.
“
The crew was exceptional, they could not do enough for us, and you can tell they are happy in their roles.”

NIGHT
All around the world, culture comes alive after five, and we want you to be there to experience it. That’s why we stay later than 8 PM in port more often than any other cruise line. Our 2019 itineraries include 155 OVERNIGHTS and 268 LATE NIGHT STAYS in port, bringing you closer to local life at all hours. As the original cruise line to stay longer in port, our destination experts have acquired quite the collection of nighttime knowledge and suggestions on how to best explore the hundreds of destinations we visit after the sun sets. Just ask. Sharing is our other area of expertise. u

LISBON, PORTUGAL; 38.7223° N, 9.1393° W
/
AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
New Zealand is known for incredible landscapes, but her growing nightlife scene is quickly making a case for a reason to stay longer in Kiwi country. Our suggestion? Head to North Wharf for dinner in a fishing shed. The catch of the day is as delicious as you’d expect.

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
Dubbed the “Paris of the South”, Buenos Aires sports a culture of dining after midnight, and working off that locally-farmed steak while dancing the night away. The city’s music scene supports a variety of genres, so you can listen to a live show of your choosing. Don’t sleep on this South American gem.
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM
One of the more obvious answers, London features something for everyone—from comedy cabarets to jazz clubs to trendy bars. For a special treat, attend the ballet at the Royal Opera House. We’ll help you get tickets, if you choose. nighttime experiences AZAMAZING EVENINGS ® CRUISE GLOBAL, NIGHTS LOCAL SM

#AZALocal
Ask any past Azamara guest what the favorite part of his or her voyage was and you’ll often hear a similar answer—AZAMAZING EVENINGS ®. When we first began staying longer in port, we launched this series of evening outings for our guests, and they stuck.
- Mr. C. & Mrs. D. Talbott
AZAMAZING EVENINGS® WE LOVE
“
It was obvious a lot of thought and planning went into the event. A first-class evening that will be a tough act to follow. A great success and much more than we expected. We look forward to more AzAmazing Evenings® on our next cruises.”
/
Years later, we’ve honed our craft and continue to provide you with these exclusive, bespoke, and authentic onshore events that embody the cultural DNA of the places you visit. Seize the night and experience a side of cruising (and travel, for that matter) that others won’t; COMPLIMENTARY, of course.

Succumb to the exceptional glory of a 12-piece string orchestra at the Odeon in Ephesus. An orchestra of twelve—including violin, viola, cello, and harp—proffers its haunting sounds into the acoustic shell of this great archeological wonder.
Find yourself swept up in the captivating sounds of the Italian Opera during an evening celebration of the greatest compositions at the legendary Goldoni Theatre. Listen as three tenors enliven the crowd with an enthralling performance during a private concert only for Azamara guests.

SHIP. Our three sister ships, AZAMARA JOURNEY®, AZAMARA QUEST®, and AZAMARA PURSUIT SM , are stunning, yet perfectly comfortable at the same time, with a mix of modern and contemporary design elements, several delicious dining options, a recently transformed spa and fitness center, a relaxing pool deck, Mosaic Café offering specialty coffees and treats, and daily entertainment. And with room to accommodate 690 guests, they are the ideal size—big enough to offer all of your favorite club-like amenities and small enough to feel relaxed, laid back, and inviting. Our guests have said that traveling onboard Azamara is like staying in the best possible vacation home, but one that transports you to a different destination each day. Your vacation home—all over the world. That has a nice ring to it.

THE LAST FRONTIER. We’re there at last.
In 2019, we’re about to do something we’ve never done before—we’re headed to Alaska. Not just Alaska; almost all of it. 11 ports, in fact. Places like Dutch Harbor, Juneau, Seward, and many more. While you’re there, you’ll have every opportunity to explore the 49th state like a local, from learning the native Tlingit history in the Icy Straits to dogsledding past snowcapped mountains in Anchorage. It’s a playground only Mother Nature is capable of building, and best experienced with your boutique hotel in tow. 26

On several of our 2019 Alaska voyages, we’ll be stopping for a longer stay in the perfectly preserved frontier town of SKAGWAY. It’s a fun one to say, even more fun to experience, and the ideal place for a full day and evening visit. What would our ideal stop in port look like? We’re glad you asked. u

The ship arrives around 7:00 AM, and we’d choose to be up with the sunrise. A room service catered breakfast on your veranda will offer stunning mountain views as we pull into Skagway. Debark soon after. There is much more to explore.
THE LAST FRONTIER. We’re there at last. MORNING
Much of Alaska is best experienced by train, and the White Pass & Yukon Route won’t just take you throughout Skagway’s mountains, glaciers, gorges, and waterfalls—it will take you back in time. The railway was first built in 1898, and the vintage railcars are modeled after the original. A morning train excursion is a must.
AFTERNOON

Skagway is steeped in history, and the town offers many ways to discover its rich past. The Bernard Moore House and Moore’s Cabin tell tales of the Gold Rush, a time Alaska knows all too well. Stop in for a tour.
LATE EVENING

An eventful day is making us thirsty, but there’s an easy solution for that. Skagway’s saloons are as historic as the railway—the Red Onion Saloon is one of our favorites. This 1897 establishment is adored by visitors and locals alike. Stop in for a beverage and bite to eat. In 100 years, not much has changed.
In 2019, we’re about to do something we’ve never done before—we’re headed to Alaska. Not just Alaska; almost all of it. 11 ports, in fact. Places like Dutch Harbor, stay every longeropportunity in Skagway on Juneau, Seward, and many more.

IN THEIR LIFETIME. Antarctica keeps a tight grasp on the keys to its enigmatic doors, but for the few that are given the opportunity to experience her subzero landscape, it’s an experience that has no rival. A journey to Antarctica’s freezing waters, ice shelves, and mountain ranges isn’t always easy, but most certainly worth it. Protected by the Antarctic Treaty, the wildlife on this continent is incredible. Whales, Weddell seals, and emperor penguins are in abundance on land and sea, while seabirds like the albatross cover the skies. With so few visitors, the animals are typically unafraid of humans, allowing for up-close encounters. DAY FRI SAT SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI FRI SAT SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT SUN

Just north of mainland Antarctica rests Elephant Island, a stopping point for several Azamara voyages. The island has a place in history, known for Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Endurance expedition that left 22 crew members stranded for 135 days, surviving underneath two upturned boats before being rescued. We will cruise the same waters as Shackleton’s crew, while you get to see the frigid terrain that these explorers accidentally called home for three months. Rest assured, a journey to Antarctica is much more enjoyable with a boutique hotel at sea to get you there and back.

ur new ship, AZAMARA PURSUIT SM , will be cruising to RIO DE JANEIRO, just in time for Carnaval—a multi-day celebration known as the Mardi Gras of the southern hemisphere and the biggest party in the world. During this week, Brazilian revelers throw hundreds of blocos, or street parties, each with a specific theme, costume-clad dancers, bands, and a bit of beer. Attend one or twelve, then head to the Sambadrome arena, where the top samba schools in the city compete against each other, with parades of spectacular floats and thousands of dancers.
Don’t worry about having to book a hotel a year ahead of time. Your floating boutique hotel (that’s us) will always be close by during your three-day stint in Rio. u
FAT TUESDAY
Samba your way through the streets of Rio de Janeiro during the world’s biggest festival. Marvel at the gorgeous costumes worn by Carnaval blocos, as they represent their respective neighborhoods with pride. Watch the fierce competition of Sambadrome or listen to a local band at a samba school street party. No matter what you do, you’ll never forget your once-ina-lifetime affair at Carnaval!
A HISTORIC AFFAIR
/ C A R N AVA L F U N F A C T S /
Carnival dates back to the early 1800s, when it was introduced by Portuguese immigrants in Brazil.
A TIMELESS TRADITION The party begins with a ceremonial tradition where Rio’s mayor hands over a giant silver and gold key to the Fat King.
FAMOUS FACES APLENTY Keep your eyes open for celebrities who make their way to Rio for the festivities.

After leaving from Portugal’s capital of Lisbon, the city with seven scenic hills, immerse yourself in Spanish culture by staying overnight in Seville. Go museum hopping along Málaga’s Mile of Art and step onto the dry sands of Europe’s only desert in Almeria. Bask in the beauty of Valencia’s 15th century gothic architecture as it blends with avant-garde buildings of the new millennium. With a late stay here, you can explore both the UNESCO-certified Llotja de la Seda and modern Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia all in one day! Medieval majesty surrounds you in the island port of Palma de Mallorca, where you can enjoy fun restaurants, bars, and galleries before finishing your travels in one of Europe’s most iconic cities—Barcelona.
Watch French culture come to life throughout this unforgettable odyssey along the coast of France. Sample the unique Catalan cuisine in Barcelona before setting sail to the stunning vineyards of Port Vendres. Soak up Marseilles’ rich history, cozy up to the Cote d’Azur in Sanary-sur-Mer, and revel in the chic glamour of the French Riviera in Saint-Tropez. Cross the sea to the hilltop citadel of Calvi, Corsica, then make your way to the illustrious Cannes, home of the world-renowned Cannes Film Festival. End your cultural immersion with a roll of the dice at James Bond’s favorite MonteCarlo casino.

The majestic Tabernas Desert has served as the setting for several “spaghetti westerns” since the early 20th century. It has doubled as the American west, the Middle East, West Africa, and more. Live your wildest John Wayne fantasy (we know you have one) at one of three main studios!
The best view of this sprawling city is from atop the Notre-Dame de la Garde. Also known as Bonne Mere, or Good Mother, this mosaic-filled basilica is an artistic and architectural marvel. So go ahead and climb up the stairway to Heaven. Don’t worry; there’ll be plenty of time to catch your breath at the top!

You’ll visit iconic destinations and venture off the beaten path, all while experiencing the culture and history of Italy #AZALocal. Sail into the relaxing resort town of Santa Margherita before surveying the rugged coastal beauty of Portovenere, a spellbinding city that has inspired numerous English poets. Stay the night in Livorno, where the opulent wonders of Florence and Pisa await just beyond port. Savor the shores of Portoferraio and sparkling sea grottoes of Bonifacio on your way to the Eternal City.

Caper off to Sicily, where views from the hilltop village of Taormina will leave you speechless. Examine the endless orchards and olive groves of Brindisi before crossing the sea to the medieval fortress city of Kotor, Montenegro. Return to Italy in the culturally diverse Trieste before arriving in Casanova’s romantic home of Venice, where waterways replace streets and songs of gondoliers can be heard throughout the fish-shaped city.

All roads lead to Rome, and that’s exactly where this long weekend takes you. Our outing begins in Nice, at the edge of France’s shore, and is followed by a latenight stay in magnificent Marseilles. Sample some of France’s best bouillabaisse and take a ferry to Château d’If before heading off to the relaxing beaches of Saint-Tropez. Jump back over to Nice, because once is never really enough, and cherish your final day along the famed French Riviera, where you can spend the late night meandering the Promenade des Anglais or exploring the Old Town or visiting the fragrant flower market. Try it all, if your heart desires! Next, tour the wild terrain of Corsica in one of its many fascinating neighborhoods, such as Terra Vecchia or Terra Nova. Satiate your appetite with a slew of Corsican favorites, like amber chestnut beer, a glass of pietra, or a heaping bowl of mussels served with fries. Finally, finish your extended weekend off right with a day in one of the greatest cities on Earth—Rome!
Journey around the most beautiful boot in the world on an Italian-infused voyage from Rome to Venice. Arrive early and take in all that Rome has to offer before settling sail for the famous Amalfi coast and pedestrian-only streets of Sorrento. Discover Sicily from two unique ports, Taormina and Siracusa, then cross the sea to Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, where the medieval towns of Kotor and Dubrovnik await exploration. Need a reprieve from all of the adventure? Stroll through the charming shops and squares of Sibenik, Croatia! Complete your loop through the Mediterranean in Venice with an overnight stay.

Redefine the “weekend getaway” with a three-country jaunt across the Adriatic. Sail this spectacular sea aboard a luxury boutique hotel that allows you to gape at the marvelous coastal shores of Italy, Croatia, and Slovenia. Launch your adventurous weekend from the cobblestone streets of Venice, with its overarching bridges and world-famous canals. Next, take off to stunning Rijeka. This city is chock-full of historic monuments and excellent museums, but make sure you stop in at the Art Nouveau fish market hall for fresh mussels and oysters straight out of the bay. Then it’s onward to Koper, Slovenia’s largest coastal town! From here, you can journey out to the nearby capital city of Ljubljana, truly one of Europe’s secret gems. Your weekend-long extravaganza concludes back in Venice, where you can don a traditional Venetian mask and sip on a Bellini at the actual site of its creation— Harry’s Bar!
MUST SEE – S K O C J A N C A V E S ; K O P E R , S L O V E N I A Considered one of Earth’s natural treasures, this exceptional cave system is a can’t-miss experience in Slovenia. Beyond its obvious natural beauty and aesthetic value, it’s one of the largest known underground canyons in the world. Aren’t you curious to discover what lies beneath?
The sun seems to always shine brighter in St. Tropez, making getting out and about mandatory. Step off the ship and step right into town. You’ll pass many massive yachts on the way as you head down cobblestone streets, en route to Place des Lices Market. This local gem is overflowing with fresh produce, breads, honey, jams, jewelry, and even some excess Chanel and Dior stock. That’s our kind of market.
AFTERNOON Seafood reigns supreme in St. Tropez, and while you’re busy getting lost in town, be sure to stop for lunch. While so many delicious spots come to mind, the waterfront Viviers leads the charge. Ask for an open-air table, then pick out your own seafood from the large tanks in the restaurant. “Fresh” takes on a whole new meaning this afternoon.
EVENING For an evening treat, look no further than Nikki Beach. This club is frequented by jet setters and celebrities alike, featuring local entertainment, fashion shows, and fantastic DJs. Pack your flashiest attire to fit in with the eclectic crowd. stay longer in Saint-Tropez on 5-NIGHT RIVIERA WEEKEND, 23-MAY 2019

Cruise the shimmering Adriatic Sea with stops along the ancient cliff-side cities of the Dalmatian coast. Start with an overnight stay in beautiful, canal-riddled Venice, where you can cross the famous Rialto Bridge and shop for sumptuous Italian leather. Next, explore the ancient ruins of Pula and Korcula in Croatia before making your way to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Dubrovnik. Trek all the way up to St. John’s Fortress in Kotor for spectacular views of the city below. Take advantage of your late-night stay in Corfu by wading out into the magnificent turquoise waters. Experience the unique, volcanic-soil-infused produce of Santorini and end it all in the cradle of civilization that is Athens, Greece.
There’s more to Greece than delicious salads and beautiful beaches. With one of the most prolific histories in the world, Greece is a country epitomized by the glory of its spectacular ruins. Begin your tour through time immemorial with the Acropolis of Athens. Experience modern Greece #AZALocal in Spetses and Mykonos before wandering through the medieval town of Rhodes, quaint fishing village of Agios Nikolaos, and Byzantine churches of Chania. Appreciate the natural beauty of Zakynthos and live large in the lush city of Igoumenitsa. From there, depart for the coastal shores of Kotor before disembarking in Venice.

This palace in the heart of Corfu was built under the instruction of one of Europe’s most notorious families—the Hapsburgs. It was meant to be a “palace worthy of Achilles,” and was thus named after the mythic figure. Kick up your heels within its beautiful white walls and see what all of the fuss is about.
One of Europe’s longest gorges rests in the Grecian island of Crete. Take advantage of the long stay in Agios Nikolaos with a hike through this gorge-ous stretch of land. Not a hiking aficionado? No fear! There are plenty of easy trails and resting areas within the region.

If you combined the scenic blue bays of the Caribbean with the architectural heritage of medieval civilizations, what would you get? A distinct culture along the coast of the Adriatic Sea—Croatia, to be exact! Your first Croatian destination is Rijeka, where you can sample deliciously fresh seafood from Kvarner Bay. In Zadar, visit the cascading waterfalls in Krka National Park before cruising through Croatia’s Inside Passage. Next, stay overnight in Split and explore the great walled town of Dubrovnik—both of which have UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Let your jaw drop in Hvar as you take in the many stunning sights it has to offer before finishing your Croatian cruise back where it began in Venice, Italy.
Admire the classic beauty of the Mediterranean on this extraordinary voyage from Venice to Rome. Spend a full day exploring the romantic Venetian waterways before bounding off to Slovenia, where you can roam the streets of Koper’s Old Town. In Sibenik, take a short boat ride over to the rugged seascape of Kornati National Park. Sail through Croatia’s Inside Passage toward picturesque Dubrovnik and scenic Kotor. At sea, soak up the sun’s golden rays before popping in along Italy’s western-most ports on the way to Rome.

You have a chance to explore one of the Roman Empire’s most imposing ruins while in Split. So what are you waiting for? You seriously must see Diocletian’s Palace, built at the turn of the 4th century, which has since been painstakingly restored to some of its former glory.
Laying your eyes on historical artifacts and filling your head with tons of knowledge is great, but it’s best to experience Malta #AZALocal, so change it up! Awake your inner child at Malta’s Toy Museum in the capital city of Valletta.

Peeking out above the white-walled homes of Patmos is the vast, castle-like Monastery of Saint John the Theologian. The view below may be spectacular, but the artwork within is sure to leave you ooh-ing and ahh-ing as well!

It’s no wonder the award-winning HBO series “Game of Thrones” chose Croatia as one of its primary locations. This breathtaking country combines the relaxing vibe of beach-riddled islands with historical significance of its well-preserved towns. Arrive early in Venice and immerse yourself in the romantic Italian city before departing for Rijeka, where the museums are as gorgeous as the view. Zadar will provide you with stunning natural wonders, while Split will wow you with its local cuisine. Walk the walled city of Dubrovnik and sample a glass of crisp Posip wine in Hvar. Digest your adventures with a day at sea as you return to Venice.
Where better to begin your coastal European tour than in romantic Venice? Spend a day strolling through its scenic streets before crossing the Adriatic Sea to Koper, a fascinating city perched on the shores of the aptly named Gulf of Koper in Slovenia. Next, cruise to the Croatian city of culture—Sibenik, just 55 miles north of historic Split. While you’re there, make sure to explore this city’s subtle yet abundant cultural diversity! In Kotor, Europe’s best-preserved medieval city, enjoy a nice glass of Montenegrin wine in one of the several hidden piazzas throughout town. Jot down to the popular island of Corfu, Greece, then over to Giardini Naxos in Sicily. Stop in Amalfi and wind your way down the coastal roads in a swanky, sun-soaked convertible.

Watch fireworks flash across the Atlantic skies with locals and tourists alike. What better way to start anew? Tim-tim to 2020!
Pack your hiking boots and pay a visit to the world’s largest urban rainforest. The history, as well as the plant and wildlife are spectacular. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, you can rappel down a waterfall. Where else can you say you did that?

ATLÂNTICO RIO Of course, seeing the tourist sites like Christ the Redeemer is something you can’t miss. But afterwards, try heading to Atlântico. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, just a red shack on the beach; however, the local cocktails and grilled seafood are some of the best in town. It’s a casual spot that gets two thumbs up.

Trek to elegant Cienfuegos, a lovely French-themed city with a healthy dose of Caribbean flair. You couldn’t miss this city’s stunning architecture if you tried! At your next stop, Santiago de Cuba, visit historical novelties and grand cathedrals in a city that gave birth to virtually every genre of Cuban music. Spend one more luxurious day at sea before returning stateside to Miami, where your incredible journey began.
Set sail from Miami and find yourself at Cuba’s shores before you wake! Playful and rhythmic, Havana is an appropriate first stop on your intensive Cuban voyage. Stroll through Old Havana as you take note of buildings covered in pastel colors and gaze inquisitively at streets lined with vintage American cars. With three full days in port, you won’t be limited to a few cultural highlights; you can see all that Havana has to offer! In the city of French origins, Cienfuegos, spend your afternoon shopping on the main street, dubbed El Bulevar, featuring uniquely Cuban stores and goods.

YO U R M U S T D O ’ S I N C U B A’ S C A P I TA L . When Cuba initially opened its doors to cruise travel, we knew this beguiling country was destined for Azamara guests. And Havana led the charge as a city that was primed for overnight stays in port. Havana is one of life’s mysteries that feels out of reach yet homely at the same time; a confluence of bureaucratic tradition and an incredible cultural scene. This capital city possesses the ability to inspire us like nowhere else we have ever been—a true destination gem. Cars from the 1950s roaming the streets along the Malecón transport us back to a pre-social media time. But then Havana’s extraordinary visual art exhibits, many commenting on current societal issues, remind us that beneath the dated façade lies an inventive society of some of the friendliest people in the world.

Cuban café culture is on the rise, posing another opportunity to just ‘be’ for a moment, while sipping a cup of local coffee and reading a new book. Hemingway was one of the first to cement Havana as a storyteller’s paradise, and just walking around town, it’s easy to see why. Havana’s mix of Western architecture reflects the one hundred years preceding 1960, and each colorful building tells a story of its own—a story that’s perplexing, at times tragic, but always fascinating.

Sail from beautiful, pastel-hued Miami and wake up in the sunny city of Key West. Take a stroll down Duval Street, where you’ll find cafés, shops, and bars aplenty. While on this gorgeous key, take a dive down to the coral reefs and shipwrecks of old with some snorkeling. From there, make your way to the glorious city of Havana. Set your creative spirit free in Cuba’s iconic capital city by exploring the famous Fusterlandia, where artist José Fuster turned his impoverished neighborhood into a work of art. The delightfully psychedelic hodgepodge of a museum flaunts colorful tile work, sculptures, and more amongst the city’s tropical backdrop. In its center sits Fuster’s personal residence, a house with a playfully whimsical façade that’s best explained only by firsthand encounter. Not a single inch of his neighborhood was spared in the making of a public masterpiece of inexplicable proportions. You won’t know where to look first. With that under your belt, enjoy all the rest of what Havana has to offer—from the vintage cars to the Morro Castle, this Cuban city has something for everyone!
Leave Miami’s stunning strips of sand behind and sail the open waters toward Mexico’s own Caribbean jewel. Jump into the tranquil waters of Cozumel’s shoreline and experience one of the Western Hemisphere’s most renowned dive sites. Pay a visit to Chankanaab National Park and witness the island in its most stunningly natural form. Here, you’re guaranteed daily sightings of dolphins, sea lions, alligators, iguanas and more! Let Cozumel captivate you with a gorgeous geography that’s always proud but never boastful. When you arrive in Havana, get ready for a fun night out at the Tropicana Nightclub, a staple since 1939. At this open-air show, you’ll experience a one-of-a-kind Cuban extravaganza where festively dressed showgirls perform to Latin salsa music. You’ll still be feeling that electric beat coursing through your veins on your return stateside to beautiful Miami.

Shop, snorkel, and soak up the sun in Key West as you prepare for the adventures that await you in Cuba. In Havana, the island’s magnificent capital city, don’t miss Museo de la Revolución, a national landmark that was once home to a long line of Cuban presidents. The building’s original designers and architects took style notes from other countries around the world. This foreign inspiration can most evidently be seen in the mirror-lined room known as Salón de los Espejos, which drew inspiration from Versailles’ famous Hall of Mirrors. Today, the museum showcases refined design elements with a generous helping of revolution propaganda and history. In fact, adjacent to the main staircase, you’ll find bullet holes from a 1957 attack. Outside of the entrance rests a piece of the former city wall and a SAU-100 tank used by Castro in the Bay of Pigs battle. These iconic historical artifacts are must-sees during your visit to Havana, and you won’t soon forget them on the short journey back to Miami.

Night brings out a different side of your destinations that can’t be experienced in the daylight. A CRUISE GLOBAL, NIGHTS LOCAL SM excursion capitalizes on the evening magic, with outings to theaters, pubs, and other cultural establishments. One of the best places to spend a night on the town? Stockholm, Sweden. It may not be the first city that comes to mind, but this archipelago in the Baltic Sea has it all—lively and loud to laidback and classy. For a nightclub that appeals to any age, head to Café Opera. It’s frequented by stars and celebrities, features a premier casino, and is ripe with history. Although the club opened in 1980, the venue has been around since the 1800s.
LOOKING FOR A QUIETER ACTIVITY? Stockholm’s best-kept secret is the fact that one or two days a week, many of its museums are open into the evening, so you can spend your day shopping or on a hike, and spend your night exploring the likes of the Vasa Museum or the Museum of Science and Technology.

hen wine and romance are on the agenda for nine nights straight, a relaxing, rejuvenating, and rekindling vacation is more than a guarantee. This voyage is infused with opportunities to visit many historic sites, like the departure point of the Mayflower and the seaside city of St. Malo, as well as intriguing cultural centers, and local markets. But wine is the hero here, and this story includes plenty of time to learn, sip, and sip some more, while enjoying some of the world’s best and unique wines. As for our recommendations? Well, there is little we like talking about more. u
SAUTERNES, FRANCE
CHÂTEAU GUIRAUD There’s nothing wrong with starting with dessert, in this case, dessert wine. Sauternes has played a role in making Bordeaux famous for its wine, and this high-end sweet wine is bottled to perfection at Château Guiraud.
LIBOURNE, FRANCE
/ SIP LIKE A LOCAL ALL ACROSS EUROPE /
CHÂTEAU DE SALES POMEROL
This massive estate, surrounded by forest, has a genuine family feel and is an exceptional spot for a tasting and tour. Be sure to leave with several bottles to take back home.
SAUTERNES, FRANCE
CHÂTEAU PAPE-CLÉMENT It’s the oldest planted vineyard in the Bordeaux area, and just like the Cabernet, Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle wines it produces, Pape-Clément seems to only get better with age. Sign up for a tour, and leave plenty of time to sit, chat, and sip on their brilliant Bordeaux varietals.

Our smaller ships not only enable us to dock in the city center of destinations all over the world, but present an added benefit on many voyages—the ability to traverse waterways that bigger ships can’t. In this case, the Panama Canal. Completed in 1914, this lock-type canal bridges the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, through the Isthmus of Panama. Spanning 40 miles from shoreline to shoreline, the manmade waterway was created to significantly cut down the time and distance ships needed to travel between the east and west coasts of the United States. Cargo ships are still the primary users of the canal, but in December 2019, the Azamara Journey® will be passing through, transporting many world-traveling-guests en route to Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

or terminated trips due to a lack of proper documentation, nor can we offer refunds to guests who fail to comply with documentation requirements. Additional resources include travel professionals, government agencies, embassies, consulates, your physician, local health departments, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (WWW.CDC.GOV), and the Department of State General Visa Information (phone: 1-800-232-4636).
TICKETING DOCUMENTS
Bookings can only be changed or cancelled by you or your travel agent. A cancellation charge may apply, depending on proximity to departure sailing date. Please see the chart below for details. Note that no refunds will be made if you fail to board the ship or must depart early for any reason.
Before you embark on your voyage, you’ll receive your personal pre-voyage documents between 20 and 50 days prior to sailing. These documents generally are issued electronically (e-docs), either through your travel professional or directly to you if you booked through Azamara Club Cruises. If you book your trip seven days or less before sailing, your documents may be held at the pier, where you can pick them up prior to boarding.
IF YOU HAVE PURCHASED AZAMARA CRUISECARE ®: The CruiseCare Cancellation Penalty Waiver Program waives the non-refundable cancellation provision of your cruise ticket contract and pays you the value of the unused portion of your cruise vacation in the event that you or your traveling companion need to cancel your cruise vacation for covered reasons. In addition, if you need to cancel for any other reason, you may be eligible for Cruise Credits equal to 75% of the non-refundable value of your prepaid cruise vacation. Brought to you by Azamara Club Cruises. For more about CruiseCare, visit AZAMARA.COM/CRUISECARE.
Your documents confirm receipt of payment, your ticket contract, and your name as it will appear on the ship’s manifest. They also contain your voyage tickets and confirmation of air arrangements (if you made them through Azamara). Tickets for voyage and air travel are valid only for the person named in the documents. Your booking name should match your name as stated in your passport. Please review your documents carefully. If you have booked consecutive sailings, make sure you have travel documents for all elements of your trip. Protect your documents in a safe place—reproduction and shipping costs will be charged if documents must be reissued.
CANCELLATION POLICY
NOTE: When canceling a booking in 50%, 75%, or 100% cancellation period, components like transfers, hotels, and standard air are included in the cancellation charge. (Fuel supplements, taxes & fees, prepaid gratuities, and shore excursions and gratuities are fully refunded.) CANCELLATION SCHEDULE FOR AZAMARA CLUB CRUISES: DAYS PRIOR TO DEPARTURE CANCELLATION CHARGE 121+ days US $50 per person 120-91 days 25% of booked fare 90-61 days 50% of booked fare 60-31 days 75% of booked fare 30 days or less 100% of booked fare
REFUND POLICY Refunds will be made directly to your credit card if you booked through Azamara, or to your travel professional if that’s how you made and paid for your reservation. Azamara is not responsible for any refunds that your travel professional fails to reimburse. Some travel professionals impose their own charges in connection with a voyage, including a flat service fee or a valueadded charge for additional amenities or services. Charges or fees imposed by your travel professional will not be included in a refund from Azamara.
REQUIRED DOCUMENTS & SHIP BOARDING PROCEDURES
GUEST EMBARKATION FORMS We need certain information before you can board the ship. To make your boarding process as simple as possible, we encourage online check-in. If you do not complete this information online, your embarkation forms will be included with your voyage documents. Please complete these forms before arriving at the pier, and be sure to bring them with you!
PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS All guests onboard all Azamara Journey®, Azamara Quest® and Azamara PursuitSM voyages are required to carry a passport. We recommend that the passport’s expiration date is no earlier than six months beyond the end of the voyage. Non-U.S. citizens who permanently reside in the United States are required to carry their Permanent Resident Card (informally known as a Green Card). The name on your cruise line or airline reservation must match the name on your passport and Permanent Resident Card. Guests who do not possess the proper documentation may be prevented from boarding their flight and/or ship, or from entering a country, and also may be subject to fines. For additional passport requirements and information on obtaining or renewing a passport, U.S. travelers should visit the State Department’s website at WWW.TRAVEL.STATE.GOV/PASSPORT. Guests from outside the United States should contact their country’s passport-issuing agency.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPER DOCUMENTS
VISA
Getting your documents and proof of vaccinations in order is an important task that will make it much easier for you to embark, disembark, and move through customs, no matter where your voyage takes you. Guests without appropriate documentation are subject to fines, and may be prevented from boarding airlines or ships, or from disembarking in certain ports. Azamara Club Cruises requires guests to be personally responsible for bringing aboard all required documents, including passports, visas, and proof of vaccinations. Azamara cannot be held responsible for fines, costs, penalties, or interrupted
Please contact the Embassy (Consular Services) of each country on your voyage or the visa service of your choice for specific visa requirements, information, forms, and fees based on your nationality.

VISA WAIVER PROGRAM
FAMILY LEGAL DOCUMENTS
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has instituted a mandatory Electronic Security for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program. This is a pretravel authorization program that applies to all U.S.-bound travelers from Visa Waiver Program (VWP) countries. A list of VWP countries can be found below. Regardless of age, all travelers from these countries under the VWP must complete an online application (similar to the I-94W) and obtain an ESTA approval before boarding a carrier by air or sea to the United States. For additional information, go to the ESTA website at HTTPS://ESTA.CBP.DHS. GOV/ESTA/.
When the last names of a parent and minor child(ren) differ, the minors must be linked to the parent through legal documentation. The parent is required to present the child’s valid passport book and visa (if required), or the child’s birth certificate (original, notarized copy, or certified copy). If a child is sailing with an adult who is his or her legal guardian, the adult must present a certified Certificate of Guardianship with respect to the child.
A third party, such as a relative or travel professional, may submit an ESTA application on behalf of a VWP traveler. The DHS recommends obtaining ESTA approval as soon as a VWP traveler begins to plan a trip to the United States, and definitely no later than 72 hours before departure. If information provided online changes after receiving an approval, it is easy to update the online application. In many cases, ESTA will determine almost immediately if an individual is eligible for VWP travel. Possible ESTA website responses include Authorization Approved, Travel Not Approved, or Authorization Pending. If an ESTA applicant is denied authorization to travel to the United States under VWP, he or she will be referred to the U.S. Department of State website for information on how to apply for a visa instead. Applicants who receive an Authorization Pending response will need to check the website for updates within 72 hours to receive a final response. AN APPROVED ESTA TRAVEL AUTHORIZATION IS: • Valid for up to two years, or until the traveler’s passport book expires, • whichever comes first. • Valid for multiple entries into the U.S. for business or pleasure. • Not a guarantee of admissibility to the United States at a port of entry. ESTA • approval only authorizes a traveler to board a carrier for travel to the United • States under the VWP. In all cases, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) • officers make admissibility determinations at U.S. ports of entry. Guests who • have applied electronically are required to present their ESTA authorization • approval receipt in order to board the vessel on applicable voyages. For additional information, please visit “Know Before You Go” section of the travel link at WWW.CBP.GOV.
COUNTRIES PARTICIPATING IN THE VISA WAIVER PROGRAM Andorra, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brunei, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Monaco, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, San Marino, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
VWP AND PASSPORTS Travelers from VWP countries who wish to enter the United States are also required to have a passport in their possession. For passport requirements for VWP applicants, please visit “Pre-travel Authorization Program for U.S.-Bound Travelers from Visa Waiver Countries” at the WWW.CBP.GOV website.
REQUIRED VACCINATIONS All guests must ensure they are medically fit for travel. As such, we remind you to check with your physician at least four to six weeks before sailing to ensure you are up to date with immunizations or vaccines required for each of the destinations and tours on your itinerary. For example, some countries require certification of the yellow fever vaccination. For further information, you may contact the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention’s Traveler’s Health website at WWW.CDC.GOV/TRAVEL/ or toll-free at 1.800.232.4636. You may also contact the World Health Organization (WHO) at WWW.WHO.INT.
If a child is sailing with an adult who is not his or her parent or legal guardian, the adult is required to present the child’s valid passport and visa (if required), or the child’s birth certificate (original, notarized copy, or certified copy) and an original notarized letter signed by at least one of the child’s parents. The notarized letter from the child’s parent must authorize the traveling adult to 1) take the child on the specific voyage and 2) supervise the child and 3) permit any medical treatment that must be administered to the child. IMPORTANT TIPS FOR ALL VOYAGERS TO ADD TO THEIR PRE-TRIP CHECKLIST: • Renew your passport if the expiration date is within six months of your • travel date. • Contact the Embassy (Consular Services) of each country on your voyage or • the visa service of your choice for visa requirements. • If traveling with minors, make sure you bring the proper documents for them. • Review the vaccines you need for embarkation and all ports of call. • Bring along proof of vaccinations and copies of your prescriptions.
SHIP CHECK-IN TIMES & PROCEDURES Azamara Club Cruises® check-in times vary, and may be as early as noon. For the specific check-in time of your voyage, please check with your travel professional. Check-in times are also noted in your travel documents. All guests must board the ship at least 90 minutes prior to the vessel’s scheduled departure. Failure to check in at least 90 minutes before the ship’s scheduled departure constitutes a “no-show” and results in automatic cancellation of your booking and assessment of cancellation charges.
LATE ARRIVALS AND EARLY DEPARTURES If you need to join your voyage late or leave early, it is important to submit your request well in advance of your departure date. Various domestic and international laws govern the ability to join or depart from a voyage in progress, based on a ship’s itinerary and guest’s citizenship. Your advance request will enable us to tell you whether your proposed schedule changes are permitted. For more information, visit AZAMARA.COM and search for information on “partial voyages,” or call 800.256.6649. Please take note of the cut-off dates for submission of your request. No refunds or prorated fares can be granted if you join a voyage late or leave early. Some governments impose fines or other charges when a guest permanently debarks from a voyage before its final port of call, and the departing guest will be responsible for these charges.
BACK-TO-BACK SAILINGS Please note that due to restrictions under the U.S. Passenger Vessels Services Act (the Jones Act), we cannot accept reservations for back-to-back voyages that begin in one U.S. port and conclude in a different U.S. port. In the event such an itinerary is booked, Azamara Club Cruises reserves the right to cancel one of the cruises at the passenger’s expense.

Azamara disclaims all liability for damages for emotional distress, mental suffering, or psychological injury of any kind, under any circumstances, except to the extent such disclaimer is prohibited by 46U.S.C.A4183c.(b).
GUEST LIABILITY Each guest agrees to indemnify Azamara for all penalties, fines, charges, losses, or expenses incurred by Azamara by virtue of any act, omission, or violation of law by the guest.
