How many of your cruise’s AzAmazing EveningsSM you choose to attend is completely up to you, but on all voyages of seven nights or more except transatlantic crossings, one AzAmazing EveningSM is included with the line’s compliments. It’s one thing to see a destination’s key landmarks and tourist attractions, but quite another to get a feel for its individual culture and character.
Some examples of Insider Access ToursSM offered by Azamara include a trip to the historic Italian town of Lucca and the villa of one of its most celebrated families. You’ll enjoy a private escort through this beautiful Renaissance town as well as the villa’s beautiful gardens, hearing fascinating insights into the family’s history as you go. Or perhaps a look at the history and traditions of rural Italian life, as you visit a dairy farm where buffaloes are raised and Mozzarella is made? You’ll see traditional farmers and cheese-makers at work and visit the farm owner’s private villa to sample their produce for yourself.
Perhaps an evening in the beautiful summer outdoors, sampling a region’s local cuisine is what you’ve always dreamed of, or maybe an exclusive classical performance or a night at one of the world’s most celebrated venues to enjoy an opera or ballet performance? With AzAmazing EveningsSM, there’s a world of wonderful and unique experiences waiting to be enjoyed.
Insider Access Tours SM AzaMazing Evenings SM Azamara Club Cruises® is a line which prides itself on offering a more immersive destination experience on all of its cruises, including more overnights in port and more opportunities for night-time experiences. The line’s exclusive AzAmazing EveningsSM are just one of the ways Azamara offers this. Taking the concept of Destination ImmersionSM to a whole new level, AzAmazing EveningsSM offer a bespoke experience, where guests receive a unique insight into local culture by way of an exclusive, private event.

Insider Access ToursSM are more than simply a cruise shore excursion to see the sights in each of your ports of call. You’ll get a more in-depth insight into each destination as you travel as part of a small group, meet local people, experience local culture and gain a unique local insight. You’ll travel to venues not usually open to the public, such as country estates and lavish ancestral homes, where your hosts will offer first-hand observations, engage with you, talk freely and exchange opinions and ideas.

Discoveries Restaurant is a non-reservation main dining favourite, offering a menu of evening dinner classics with a special twist in an elegant environment. Whether you choose a table for two or one for a larger group, you’re assured of an unforgettable meal. Aqualina and Prime C are two speciality dining venues, which are always popular and therefore reservations are recommended. Aqualina offers contemporary Italian cuisine, while Prime C is the place to go to enjoy a choice menu of perfectly cooked cuts of beef. For a more casual bite or an al fresco treat, try the Windows Café, Pool Grill, Mosaic Café or afternoon tea in the Looking Glass Lounge.
Nights and Cool Places SM As the name suggests, these special excursions take place in the evenings and are designed to showcase elements of ports that are best experienced at night. Azamara’s Nights and Cool PlacesSM programme compliments perfectly the explorations you’ve enjoyed in the day, whether it’s a particular architectural landmark that truly is something special when illuminated at night, a live musical performance or a private museum tour after-hours. Wherever your itinerary takes you, you’re guaranteed a unique perspective with Azamara’s Nights and Cool PlacesSM programme.

Dining A taste of what’s on the evening menu with Azamara’s Nights and Cool PlacesSM programme includes a tour of Malaga’s Picasso Museum, dedicated to the works of one of this Spanish city’s most famous sons. As well as avoiding the crowds and seeing some of the artist’s most celebrated pieces, you’ll be granted access to areas of the museum not open to the public and enjoy an evening snack and drink, too.
Far more than simply a cruise necessity, Azamara’s excellent dining choices are an integral part of the overall luxury experience which makes the line so special. Each dish is carefully prepared by expert chefs using only the best fresh ingredients to create menus designed to delight the taste buds.
One of the world´s most romantic and historic cities, the City on the Water is famous for its canal network and incredible architecture. On your exclusive night time tour of Venice, you’ll enjoy a gondola ride, avoid the crowds and get your own personal perspective as you enjoy the unrivalled atmosphere of Venice by night.
From your ship’s main dining venue to a choice of speciality restaurants, casual cafes and pool grills, you’ll be able to dine in the surroundings which suit your tastes and mood best.
