On Azamara, nearly 50% of our 2013 port visits include late night or overnight stays, and we’ll help you make the most of them all.

Eat like the locals
Savor Every Bite What makes a Neapolitan pizza taste so good? Some say it’s the wood-fired ovens and local water used in the dough…or the locally grown olive oil, garlic, vine-ripened tomatoes and basil…or the freshest buffalo mozzarella. But we have no doubt that it tastes this good because you’re eating it right here.
Our dining philosophy? If the locals are passionate about it, you should probably give it a try. Fresh cheeses and French wines. Silky noodles with seafood in Hong Kong. Handcrafted beers and chocolates in Belgium. Pizzas and pastas in Italy. Azamara’s international staff and crew will enthusiastically recommend their favorite spots in every port. With lots of late night stays, ask our concierge for those hard-to-get dinner reservations, too. Istanbul, Turkey
Split, Croatia
Antwerp, Belgium
Grown in the Black Sea coast region of Rize, Turkish tea is popular throughout the country. It’s served very hot in small glasses, with beet sugar as a sweetener. (See pages 47–48, 57 for itineraries.) Bangkok, Thailand
Livorno, Italy
Smoked ham, air-dried meats and local cheeses join grapes, olives, and flatbreads for a rustic and delicious mid-day meal in Split. (See pages 58, 88–89 for itineraries.)

The advantages of cruise travel are multiplied on an Extended Voyage. You can leave the navigating to Azamara’s officers, and focus on experiences rather than the details of getting from place to place. Hotel Director Heike Berdos (Germany) Bangkok, Thailand
Fjords, towering mountains, tiny villages and modern capital cities make the waterways of Scandinavia a particularly lovely choice for an Extended Voyage. Consider pairing a Baltic voyage with one that explores the Norwegian fjords, Iceland and Scottish Isles (Azamara Quest ®, 22-June, see page 81, and 3-July, see page 82.) ®

Linger over morning coffee, shop the onboard boutiques, take a class or seminar, browse the beautiful library, or join friends for lunch at Windows Café. Somewhere along the way, you’ll discover how great it feels to do absolutely nothing at all.

This morning you can sink into the comfort of the Mosaic Café, Azamara’s congenial gathering place for conversation, cards and trivia games. Enjoy an espresso or fine cup of tea—always complimentary—and stay as long as you like.
You’ll find everything from basic necessities to luxury items in Azamara’s onboard shops. Browse for swimwear and sunglasses, exquisite jewelry, cosmetics, fragrances, and boutique clothing, or let us help you pick out the perfect gift or voyage keepsake. Windows Café Dining

It’s hard to think of another international port that matches the sheer exuberance of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour at night. The brilliant hues of the city skyline and nightly light show make even the most jaded travelers want to see more. Azamara’s overnight and late night stays in Hong Kong let you do just that.
Shop for your own personal seal or stamp—also called a “chop”—on top of Victoria Peak. Typically made of stone, metal or wood, a chop can carry your name, a lucky saying, or an image that expresses something about your character.

Make the most of your days at sea by relaxing with a variety of Azamara spa services. Acupuncture, body sculpting, deep tissue massage, and renewing facial treatments are just a few of your options. And if your post-treatment reading turns into a nap, we’ll understand.
Looking out over the Acropolis, the ancient Athens Agora was once a center of commerce filled with temples, law courts, meeting and concert halls, a gymnasium and more. It’s well worth a visit to see the beautiful Temple of Hephaestus, the best-preserved ancient temple in Greece. You’ll also want time to explore the Acropolis and stunning new Acropolis Museum.
Russian aristocracy loved Yalta’s mild climate, and the city reflects their upscale tastes. With a late night stay, join an optional Land Discoveries® tour of Livadia Palace, site of the historic Yalta Conference at the end of World War II. See the Swallow’s Nest Castle that hangs over the sea, and the home where Anton Chekhov wrote The Cherry Orchard.

Explore Capri’s remarkable vistas from sea level and from high on mountain peaks. Take a boat tour of secluded beaches, hidden caves, and the azure waters of the Blue Grotto. Then drive up to Anacapri for more treasures: the old town with its maze of narrow streets, the shops and cafes of the Piazzetta, ancient Villa Jovis, and the panoramic views from Mt. Solaro.
If only one could live as Napoleon did while exiled on Elba! Of his two residences, Villa San Martino is particularly lovely with its gorgeous views of the surrounding countryside. Vineyards, hillside villages, and more than 70 beautiful beaches add to Elba’s appeal. With a late night stay, dine at one of the osterias featuring Cuccuicco, a succulent fish stew, or spaghetti with crab or lobster.
Enjoy an evening at the casino where the rich and famous have gathered for more than a century (and James Bond taught the world how to make a proper martini). With a full day and night in Monte-Carlo, take time for a walk through Monaco-Ville, the old town that looks down over the port. Nearby you’ll find the Prince’s Palace, the Monaco Cathedral, the Oceanographic Museum, and a number of wonderful restaurants. Return to the ship for a nap before slipping into your evening finery for a glamorous night at the casino.

July Highlights
western mediterranean
8 nights the cote d’azur, corsica & provence 3-July to 11-July The pleasures of the French Riviera and Provence unfold at a civilized pace on this voyage that includes three overnight stays and four late departures. Stroll the flower markets, fine shopping and museums of Nice, and take your time exploring the long strand of beach, marina and striking citadel of Calvi. People-watch, dine and shop your way through Cannes and St. Tropez, lingering at outdoor cafes as you consider your choices for evening entertainment. With two days in Marseille, you’ll have opportunities to soak up the urban scene and bustling waterfront, then head to the sun-soaked lavender fields, vineyards and markets of Provence. An overnight in Barcelona allows for a morning visit to peaceful Montserrat and an afternoon exploring Gaudi’s Park Guell or La Sagrada Familia. And of course you’ll want to stay up late with the locals, feasting on Spanish tapas and wines.
10 nights azamara summer favorites 11-July to 21-July Ready for some nightlife? Then you’ll love this voyage that includes six overnights in Mediterranean hot spots. Mingle with an international crowd in Ibiza’s colorful, over-the-top bars and clubs. As you sail from Cassis, celebrate Bastille Day with a deck party as you watch fireworks onshore. Dress up for Monte-Carlo’s elegant Grand Casino, and step out in Nice’s Old Town for a lively dining and bar scene. The French Riviera towns of Cannes and St. Tropez hardly need an introduction— ask our concierge for restaurant or club reservations. Longer stays mean plenty of daytime exploring, too. Taste the fine white wines of Cassis, a town notable for its limestone cliffs, calanques, and fig and olive groves. Visit the Nice flower markets and art museums, and shop for fine shoes and clothing at the famous ateliers of St. Tropez. Average July Temperatures Barcelona: 21˚ to 28˚C or 69˚ to 82˚F Civitavecchia: 20˚ to 30˚C or 67˚ to 87˚F Monte-Carlo: 22˚ to 26˚C or 71˚ to 78˚F

AZAMARA JOURNEY® VOYAGES JULY 2013
July Highlights
western mediterranean
7 nights provence & cote d’azur summer holiday 21-July to 28-July Six out of seven nights on this weeklong voyage are overnight or late night port stays—and that’s the Azamara difference! We love long summer days and nights, and you will too as you sail from Barcelona to the French Riviera. Explore the bustling waterfront and bohemian neighborhoods of Marseille, the Cathedral and Chateau d’If, or visit nearby Aix-en-Provence. Then it’s on to Sanary-sur-Mer, where beautiful open-air markets, colorful fishing boats, and superb cuisine and wines from the Bandol region add to this small town’s great appeal. An overnight on St. Tropez lets you enjoy the beautiful people and cafes along famous Pampelonne Beach, or go wine-tasting in nearby coastal vineyards. St. Tropez, Cannes and Monte-Carlo each offer their own variations on fabulous evening entertainment, whether you’re interested in fine wines and dining, club-hopping, or an elegant night at the world-famous Monaco Casino.
7 nights Principality to the Vatican 28-July to 4-August Start with the French and Italian Rivieras, mix in the art and culture of Florence, add some Tuscan food and wine, and you’ve got a fabulous vacation. Discover lovely Calvi, a port town on Corsica defined by its towering citadel, long strand of beach, and forested mountains. Stroll along the beach or the shady gardens of the 17th-century Villa Durazzo in St. Margherita, and fall in love with the picturesque fishing village of Portofino nestled into steep mountains. Take a walking or boat tour of Cinque Terre, a UNESCO World Heritage site of precariously-perched cliffside towns inaccessible by car. Two days in Livorno give you time for the treasures of Florence and Pisa as well as the fine wines and cuisine of Tuscany. And you may be surprised by the lovely landscapes of Elba, an island once famous as a place of exile. Following your voyage, make the most of Rome with a Cruisetour.

On Rhodes, explore the ancient city and picturesque village of Lindos, and the incredible Palace of the Grand Masters and other sites in the ancient and well-preserved Old Town. It’s hard not to fall in love with the sea and landscapes of the Turquoise Coast as we sail into port. Don’t miss optional Land Discoveries® to protected wetlands and a boat ride down the lush Dalyan River delta, where you’ll pass ancient Lycian rock tombs on the way to the harbor of Caunos. From there, you can climb to the acropolis for magnificent views of the region.

Unwind with spa treatments, leisurely dining and wine tasting, reading by the pool, and evening entertainment in the casino. On Rhodes, don’t miss the UNESCO World Heritage ancient city, the village of Lindos, and the old medieval city within walking distance of your ship. You’ll find plenty to explore in Limassol, Cyprus. Join optional Land Discoveries to the nearby wine-growing region, visit the ancient cities of Kourion and Amathus, shop in the old neighborhoods, or idle away an afternoon at wonderful beaches. At nightfall, stroll the seafront and dine with the locals. A full day in Muscat lets you tour the mountainside forts of Al Jalali and Al Mirani, dive or swim in clear blue waters, or shop for bargains at the Mutrah Souk. Then you’ll have an overnight in Dubai, where all is opulent and golden— yet tradition lives on in the historic district of Al Bastakiya.

The Temple of the Reclining Buddha, or Wat Pho, should be high on your list of “must see” Bangkok experiences. More than 1,000 Buddhas adorn this temple, but the big draw is the giant gold reclining Buddha, 46 meters long and 15 meters high, with mother-of-pearl inlays on his eyes and feet. Wat Pho is also known for its excellent Thai massage school.

Buddhist culture and friendly people add to the pleasures of Sri Lanka’s great natural beauty and World Heritage treasures. An overnight stay lets you visit Sri Dalada Maligawa, the temple where Buddha’s tooth is protected and venerated, and visit ancient Sigiriya, often called the “eighth wonder of the world.”
It requires a deft touch to make rice paper, but you can try your hand at it on an excursion to the Mekong Delta. The edible paper is used for wrapping spring rolls and other Vietnamese foods.

AZAMARA QUEST® VOYAGES MARCH 2013
March Highlights
13 nights florida & seville–linked by history 14-March to 27-March Columbus set sail from Seville more than 500 years ago, and you can enjoy your own transatlantic adventure with none of the hardship. Load up your tablet with books for lazy days at sea, and renew yourself with spa services, yoga classes, and leisurely evenings of fine dining. Port stops include Britishflavored Bermuda and the Canary Island of Tenerife, home to El Teide, the world’s third largest volcano. And because our ships are smaller, we can sail up the Guadalquivir River to dock less than a mile from great Seville cathedral during Holy Week.
7 nights seville to barcelona 27-March to 3-April This special voyage highlights Semana Santa, the world’s most elaborate Holy Week celebration in Seville. Dozens of processions feature ornate floats, each carrying lifelike wooden sculptures and priceless church art, accompanied by religious brotherhoods, brass bands and followers. The most revered processions set out on Holy Thursday to arrive at dawn on Good Friday—and you’ll be there to see it. We’ll sail to more treasures in the great cities of Valencia and Barcelona, where you’ll love the nightlife with an overnight stay. Average March Temperatures Hamilton: 14˚ to 20˚C or 57˚ to 68˚F Miami: 18˚ to 26˚C or 64˚ to 78˚F Seville: 9˚ to 20˚C or 48˚ to 69˚F Azamara Club Cruises® reserves the right to impose a fuel supplement on all guests if the price of West Texas Intermediate fuel exceeds $65 per barrel. The fuel supplement for first and second guests would be no more than $15 per guest per day, for a maximum of $200 per cruise.

7 nights springtime along the cote d’azur D 3-April to 10-April (President’s Voyage) See Impressionist masterworks and the scenery that inspired them on this voyage with Azamara President and CEO Larry Pimentel and his wife, Sandi Pimentel. Hosted onboard social events, informal get-togethers, and a special onshore excursion are just part of the fun.

Fill up on tapas and fine wines, and take in a flamenco performance. • Mallorca’s magnificent Gothic Cathedral and old Arab Quarter. • Valencia’s City of Arts and Sciences, designed by acclaimed architect Santiago Calatrava, and the stunning Silk Exchange, once a 15th century indoor marketplace. • The mind-boggling Alhambra in Granada. • The great Cathedral, old neighborhoods, and Moorish architecture of Seville.

The perfect time for a Mediterranean voyage? Some would say it’s Autumn, when the weather is balmy, the crowds have thinned, and golden light casts a glow over outdoor cafes and shop-filled plazas. This is the time of year to slow down and explore, and with many overnight and late night stays, you’ll never feel rushed on Azamara. Each of our October voyages includes the French Riviera. In St. Tropez, spend a day people-watching, shop in the many fine boutiques and galleries, or go wine-tasting in nearby coastal vineyards. Visit Monaco-Ville, Monaco’s old medieval town, for a quiet walk and spectacular views, and see the Prince’s Palace, Cathedral, and wonderful Oceanographic Museum. Idle away an evening over a fine French Mediterranean dinner, and treat yourself to a night at the elegant Grand Casino. Both the 9-October and 23-October voyages include overnight stays in Livorno, where you’ll have the option of joining Land Discoveries® to explore the art and culture of Florence and Pisa, and the fine Tuscan cuisine and wines of Lucca and Chianti. The 16-October voyage features two overnights in the great natural scenery of Capri and Sorrento. Join optional Land Discoveries to the ruins of ancient Pompeii, shop for limoncello and olive oils, and savor fine Italian seafood, cheeses and wines. Take a boat tour of Capri’s beautiful bays and famous Blue Grotto, or explore the island from on high with a chairlift ride to the peak of Mount Solaro.

On the day of boarding, please confirm your special dietary arrangements with the restaurant manager. Restricted Items Please use common sense when considering what to pack or carry onboard. Guests may not bring any items considered by Azamara to be unsafe or inappropriate. For the safety of all guests, the following items are strictly prohibited on all Azamara voyages: irons, coffeemakers, candles, illegal drugs and controlled substances, flammable liquids, explosives (including fireworks), firearms and weapons (including knives, regardless of length), electrical transformers, or cylinders containing compressed air and combustible substances. Service Animals No animals are permitted on Azamara vessels, with the exception of trained service dogs for guests with disabilities. Azamara Club Cruises welcomes service dogs on all ships except those sailing to the United Kingdom (UK), due to DEFRA regulations. Smoking Policy Our ships have a designated smoking area, located on the starboard forward section of the pool deck. The smoking area is clearly marked. For our guests’ comfort and health, all other areas of the ships are
nonsmoking, including public rooms, restaurants, pool decks, staterooms and suites, verandas and halls. A non-smoking policy also applies to all components of the land portions of Azamara Cruisetours, unless specifically stated otherwise by the tour operator. Please note that this policy includes products such as electronic cigarettes. Your Personal Onboard Account For simplicity and streamlined service, all Azamara ships operate on a “cashless” system. All of your onboard services and purchases will be charged to your personal account, which is linked to your key card. We will activate your key card and link it to your preferred payment method when you board the ship. You have two options: • Link your Azamara KeyCard to your Visa, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express card; or • If you choose to pay by cash or traveler’s check at the conclusion of your voyage, we may require an advance deposit when activating your key card. You will receive an itemized statement of all purchases at the end of your voyage. If paying in cash, you can withdraw cash from our onboard ATM by using your MasterCard, Visa, or American Express card. You also have the option of using a bank card connected to networks including Cirrus-Plus, Honor, Shazam, Alert, Yankee 24, Pulse, ATH, NYCE, MAC, Magicline, Star System, Oath and Tyme. An ATM fee will apply. Only U.S. currency is accepted on Azamara ships. In some ports, foreign currency exchange is available at the Guest Relations desk. Both Azamara ships have an onboard ATM, which guests use to withdraw cash for the ship’s casino (our only onboard cash venue) or for onshore excursions. ATM carries USD, and Euros where used locally. Important Information About Guest Conduct and Safety Azamara Club Cruises is committed to providing our guests with a safe, relaxing and pleasurable voyage. To ensure a high quality onboard experience, we ask all guests to review our Guest Conduct Policy, which is available on our vessels and at AzamaraClub Cruises.com/GuestConduct. Violations of this policy may result in confiscation of personal property and/or debarkation from the ship. The Azamara guest conduct policy is subject to change without notice at any time, and without liability to Azamara. Our voyages visit many ports in countries around the world. Our world is unpredictable, and at any given time there are likely to be troubled areas marked by crime, war, terrorism or other risks. Azamara strives to provide reasonable protection for your comfort and safety onboard our vessels. We cannot, however, guarantee protection from all risks. Government agencies in a number of countries, such as the U.S. Department of State, routinely issue advisories and warnings to travelers regarding certain destinations. We recommend that you review this information with your travel professional when making travel decisions.

Azamara has the perfect solution for both with ChoiceAir ®.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS AND SHIP BOARDING PROCEDURES The Importance of Proper Documents 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 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: 202.663.1225). Ticketing Documents Before you embark on your voyage and/or Cruisetour, you’ll receive your personal pre-voyage documents between 20 and 50 days prior to sailing. These documents generally are issued electronically (edocs), 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. 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. Guest Embarkation Forms We need certain information before you can board the ship. To make
Guests who do not possess the proper documentation may be prevented from boarding their flight, 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. Visa 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 The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has instituted a mandatory Electronic Security for Travel Authorization (ESTA) program. This is a pre-travel 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/. 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 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,
107
Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and 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. Family Legal Documents 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. 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 AND 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 AzamaraClubCruises.com and search for information on “partial voyages,” or call 800.256.6649 (option 3). 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.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS CRUISE TICKET CONTRACT Passage Ticket Limitations The transportation of guests and baggage on Azamara Club Cruises® ships is governed by the terms and conditions of the Cruise Ticket Contract. This contract is included in voyage documentation and guests will not be allowed to board the ship until it has been signed. The contract contains important limitations on the rights of passengers. Please carefully read all terms of this contract, paying particular attention to section 3 and sections 9 through 11, which limit our liability and your right to sue. This agreement requires the use of arbitration for certain disputes, and waives any right to trial by jury to resolve those disputes. Please retain the contract for future reference. In the event of any conflicting information between terms and conditions set forth in this brochure, advertisements, offers, or oral or written representation of any Azamara representative, the terms of the Cruise Ticket Contract shall govern. Copies of the Cruise Ticket Contract are available upon request, and are also available online at AzamaraClubCruises.com/PriceTerms. Information Subject to Change Azamara Club Cruises itineraries and routes, pricing, policies and procedures are constantly evolving. Azamara strives to ensure that all information listed in this brochure is correct at the time of printing. However, information in this brochure is subject to change without notice, and Azamara reserves the right to refuse to honor any prices that were erroneously quoted or misprinted in this brochure.
Azamara Club Cruises Liability Guests release Azamara from any and all claims for loss or damage to baggage or property, for personal injuries, death, and for loss from delay arising out of the acts, omissions or negligence of any independent contractor, such as air carriers, hotels, shore providers, restaurateurs, transportation providers, medical personnel, or other service or facility providers. 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. Each guest (or if a minor, his or her guardians), is liable for and will be required to reimburse Azamara for all damage to the ship, its furnishings, equipment and property caused by any willful or negligent act or omission on the part of the guest. Lost or Stolen Property Safes are available in every stateroom and guests are responsible for securing their valuables. Your Cruise Ticket Contract establishes procedures and time limitations for reporting lost or damaged property. When possible, please report damaged or lost property to either the Guest Relations Desk or a designated Azamara employee before you leave the U.S. Customs area. In the absence of negligence on its part, Azamara is not responsible for any loss, theft, pilferage and/or damage to property, which may include money and travel currency, jewelry, photographic/electronic equipment or other personal property. Azamara’s liability for loss or damage to property shall be limited to USD $300 per guest. Please note that the CruiseCare ® Vacation Protection Plan offers personal property protection. Consult with your travel professional for details.
INFANTS AND UNACCOMPANIED MINORS
Changes In Itinerary, Sailing Dates and Voyage Details In the event of strikes, lockouts, riots, adverse weather conditions, mechanical difficulties, or for any other reason, Azamara may, at any time and without prior notice, cancel, advance, postpone or deviate from any scheduled sailing or port of call. Azamara may, but is not obliged to, substitute another vessel or port of call, and shall not be liable for any loss to guests as a result of such cancellation, advancement, postponement, deviation or substitution.
Infants sailing on a voyage must be at least six months old (or 12 months old for some voyages) on the first day of the voyage. For more information, please visit AzamaraClubCruises.com/Infants. Cruisetours associated with Azamara voyages are subject to the same minimum age requirement. Denial of boarding for infants who do not satisfy the minimum age requirement may also result in the denial of boarding for the infant’s parents or guardians. No refunds or other compensation shall be paid by Azamara in these cases.
Azamara shall not be responsible for failure to adhere to the arrival and departure times published in this brochure for any of its ports of call. For questions regarding itinerary changes due to weather or other current events, please visit AzamaraClubCruises.com or call our Customer Service Department at 877.999.9553. Travel professionals please call 877.222.2526.
Guests under the age of 21 must be booked in a stateroom with an adult who is 21 years or older. Guests under the age of 18 must be booked in a stateroom with a parent or legal guardian. Age restrictions will be waived for minor children sailing with their parents or guardians in adjacent staterooms.
While every effort will be made to adhere to the specific voyage details described in this brochure, circumstances may necessitate changes or deviations. All schedules, itineraries, destinations, hours of arrival and departure, hotels and/or conveyances, and other aspects of voyage programs are subject to change without prior notice. Neither Azamara nor any affiliated party shall be required to refund any portion of fare or other charges or make any compensation under such circumstances.
liability Land Discoveries® Azamara’s responsibility to our passengers does not extend beyond the vessel and the ocean voyage part of your tour. For land tours, Azamara works as a booking agent with independent contractors to make arrangements for transportation, lodging and/or excursions and tours. Azamara is not responsible for tour cancellations, re-routings, delays, accidents, injuries or losses sustained while guests are on shore, whether as part of organized excursions or on their own. Please see our Land Discoveries brochure for details and contractual conditions.
ALCOHOL POLICIES The minimum age to consume alcohol on Azamara voyages originating in North America is 21. The minimum age to consume alcohol on sailings originating in Europe, Asia and South America is 18. The originating turnaround port determines the policy. For instance, on a crossing from Europe to the United States, the minimum age would be 18; on a crossing from the United States to Europe it would be 21. The minimum age to consume alcohol at all private destinations is 21, without regard to where the sailing originated. Parent/guardian waivers are no longer required or accepted, and these policies will be enforced on all voyages. Corkage Policy Azamara Club Cruises® offers a wide selection of international liquors, beer and fine wines onboard. You may bring your own favorite liquor, beer or wine for private consumption in your suite or stateroom. If you wish to consume your liquor, beer or wine in any shipboard restaurant, bar or dining venue, each bottle is subject to a corkage fee of $10. If you are given a bottle of wine that was purchased from Azamara’s Bon Voyage Gift selection, then no corkage fee will apply. If you are given a bottle of wine from an outside vendor and/or travel professional, and the bottle was not purchased through Azamara’s Bon
Voyage selection, then a $10 corkage fee will apply if the wine is consumed in the dining room or other public area. All corkage fees will be added to your onboard account. Alcoholic beverages purchased from onboard shops will be stored by the ship and delivered to guest staterooms on the last day of the sailing. Alcohol will not be delivered to any guest under the age of 21. Violation of Alcohol Policies Guests who violate alcohol policies (over-consume, provide alcohol to people under age 21, or demonstrate irresponsible behavior) may be debarked or not allowed to board, in accordance with our guest conduct policy. In such cases, no voyage costs, airfare or any other expenses will be reimbursed. Azamara reserves the right to revoke or otherwise restrict drinking privileges of any guest, regardless of age.
MEDICAL CARE AND SPECIAL NEEDS Azamara welcomes guests with disabilities and special needs, and we will provide reasonable and appropriate assistance. Fitness to Travel Safely Guests with disabilities are not required to travel with another person as a condition of sailing on our ships. However, all guests should consider that crew members are not required to assist with personal tasks or personal hygiene needs (e.g., assisting with eating, dressing, toileting, etc.). Guests requiring assistance with these functions should consider these needs before booking. If there is a question as to a prospective guest’s ability to independently provide for their personal needs or hygiene without being a danger to themselves or others, and the guest plans to travel alone, this situation must be discussed with the Access Department prior to booking a cruise vacation. The Access Department can be reached at Special_Needs@AzamaraClubCruises.com or by calling 1.866.592.7225. This will allow an individualized assessment of the guest’s fitness to travel for the duration of the cruise without personal assistance. Unaccompanied guests attempting to board or found onboard without the ability to independently care for their personal needs will be evaluated to determine if they are fit to safely travel without assistance. Guests who are found unfit to travel may be denied boarding or debarked at the next port-of-call. Special Needs Assistance While we do not require information about the extent of your disability, the more information you can share with us about your specific needs, the better we are able to assist you. We encourage you to notify us of your needs at time of booking to guarantee availability of specific equipment or services. Please provide: • 60 days advance notice if you need sign language interpreting services during your cruise. • 30 days advance notice if you need special equipment or services to accommodate your disability during your cruise. You must provide 72 hours advance notice if you are traveling with a group of 10 or more guests with disabilities. Contact Azamara’s Access Department in writing, via e-mail at Special_Needs@ AzamaraClubCruises.com. For special assistance, feel free to ask for a Complaint Resolution Official (CRO). Our CROs have been trained and are aware of applicable U.S. Department of Transportation disability regulations as well as our policies and procedures. They will be glad to respond to your concerns. Our CROs are available at all U.S. ports of departure and on our ships. Accessible Staterooms Azamara vessels have accessible staterooms available in different categories, which have been designed for guests with mobility disabilities and other disabilities. These rooms have 32-inch doors entering both the stateroom and bathroom. Both the stateroom and bathroom are large enough to allow someone in a wheelchair to make a full circle (5 ft. radius) without difficulty. Some bathrooms have a roll-in shower, a fold-down shower bench, a raised toilet, and a lowered sink. Accessible staterooms are held for people with disabilities until all other non-accessible staterooms in that category are reserved.
109
Upon reserving an accessible stateroom, we require our guests to acknowledge in writing the need for an accessible stateroom. Guests without a disability booked in an accessible stateroom may be moved at any time to accommodate a guest with a disability. To inquire about a wheelchair accessible stateroom, please contact our Access Department in writing, via email at Special_Needs@AzamaraClub Cruises.com.

Pregnancy We welcome guests who are pregnant, but cannot accept guests who will be 24 or more weeks pregnant prior to or at any time during the voyage or Cruisetour vacation. If you are pregnant, we require a physician’s “Fit to Travel” note prior to sailing, stating how far along (in weeks) your pregnancy will be at the beginning of the voyage, and confirming that you are in good health and not experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. Please fax your “Fit to Travel” note to the Access Department at 954.628.9622 and carry a copy with you onboard the vessel.
RIGHT OF REFUSAL TO BOOK REQUEST OR PASSAGE We are committed to providing safe and enjoyable voyages to our guests. In support of this commitment, we reserve the right to refuse to accept a booking request from an individual or group, and the right to cancel an existing reservation. The Refusal to Transport Policy provides, among other things, that a booking request may be denied when the guest’s conduct on a prior voyage has resulted in disciplinary measures by Azamara Club Cruises. Azamara is not liable for its refusal to transport any guest or for its removal of any guest in accordance with these policies. In addition, Azamara shall not be required to refund any amount paid by any guest who must leave the voyage vacation prematurely pursuant to either policy, nor shall Azamara be responsible for lodging, meals, return transportation or other expenses incurred by the guest, or for any consequential or punitive damages. Any dispute between a guest and Azamara in connection with a guest’s voyage booking or voyage shall be litigated, if at all, in and before a court located in Miami, Florida, U.S.A., to the exclusion of the courts of any other state, territory or country. For more details, see our Refusal to Transport Policy and Guest Conduct Policy, both of which are available online at AzamaraClubCruises.com. Azamara Club Cruises, Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, CruiseCare and all other marks included in this brochure are the property of their respective owners. ©2012 Azamara Club Cruises.
