Reservations for Azamara Cruises’ 2027 World Cruise are now open, with the journey set to be the small-ship, destination-immersive cruise line’s longest yet. The 188-night journey aboard the Azamara Quest will encompass 37 countries, 103 destinations, and five continents.
Highlights include visits to Sydney, Hong Kong, Tokyo, New York, Amsterdam, and Stockholm.
Departing from San Francisco on Jan. 05, the World Cruise will head to Hawaii before turning south to Polynesia (Bora Bora, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Fiji), New Zealand, Tasmania and the southern coast of Australia.
Azamara Quest will then cruise to Bali, Indonesia, beginning a two-month exploration of Asia including stops in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan and more.
The ship will then cross the Pacific Ocean to Alaska before circumnavigating North America (via the Panama Canal) to St. John’s, Nfld.
Finally, guests will sail a transatlantic voyage to Northern Europe, visiting Ireland, Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden, and more before concluding in Copenhagen, Denmark on July 12.
Azamara says that throughout the cruise, its immersive travel experiences will provide many exclusive features:
- With longer days in port and more overnight stays – the 2027 World Cruise will feature 50 late-night stays and 15 overnights
- The cruise will feature 12 exclusive ‘AzAmazing Evenings’
- Its small-ship advantage means accessing smaller ports and hidden gems that larger ships cannot reach such as transiting the Kiel Canal in Germany or cruising into the heart of Shanghai to dock right at The Bund
- ‘Always Azamara’ inclusive amenities encompass a variety of dining venues, room service, 24-7 drinks (including house wines and beers), gratuities, exclusive cultural events, and unlimited self-service laundry.
“For our 2027 World Cruise, we’ve created an incredible route that will bring our guests to the doorsteps of sought-after destinations around the world,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises. “Imagine sailing as far south as Stewart Island, New Zealand, and as far north as Helsinki, Finland, all in one cruise. We are stopping to see the world’s most beautiful skylines & bridges. It will really be a remarkable, unforgettable journey – one that I hope our long-time friends and brand-new friends will jump on!”
