SHIP OVERVIEW

Step aboard the new Azamara Onward℠, and arrive at the doorstep of the globe’s most hidden gems and storied cities. Built to cross oceans, cruise along scenic waterways and dock at locations larger ships can’t access — this small ship cruising experience is unlike any other. thoughtfully-planned itineraries feature more extended stays, more overnights, and unique night touring, giving you more time for what matters — experiencing the history, arts, cuisine, and local customs that make each port memorable. And after a day spent discovering the treasures of your destination, retreat to your seaside sanctuary for ocean views, saltwater breezes, and all the lush amenities you can imagine. From 24-hour room service to five-star butler service, the luxury staterooms and spacious suites deliver genuine tranquility and comfort.

Great Trip To Italy

JULY

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Suite, specialty restaurants, preferred embarking and disembarking, food, cleanliness, butler

CONS

communication - written and verbal, excursions

RECOMMENDED

Yes

It always seemed like we never had the full story about restaurant times, activities, excursions and what they included or did not include, last minute changes to excursions. Even the daily activity handout had numerous errors and misleading information. Overall, communication needs a lot of improvement.

The Onward is a beautiful ship and was such a good fit for our traveling style. We were made to feel very special everywhere we went because Onwards’ crew was amazing. The size of the ship was wonderful. Not too big and not too small

Canary Islands 7 day intensive cruise with Azamara

APRIL

Star Star Star Star Star

PROS

Extended time in each port, very affordable

CONS

Long flight times to travel to Canary Islands for 7 night cruise, cabins are fairly small

RECOMMENDED

No

<div>More time in each port make Azamara itineraries very desirable. Because of the distance to the Canary Islands and the cost of air travel, it makes the 7 day cruise not very cost effective unless combined with a pre and/or post travel experience in that area of the world. The cabins are smaller than other cruiselines but the ship only holds 684 pax. which provides a comfortable, uncrowded feeling. Highly suggest booking specialty restaurants ahead of time rather than waiting to book once aboard the ship, since if the ship is full, the specialty restaurants are frequently unavailable, due to their small seating capacity. The timing of the excursion is important because during the 3 hour siesta time right after lunch, many tourist sites and facilities are closed. The food and staff were excellent.&nbsp;</div>

PROS

Small ship, great service, no lines, no casinos, no art auctions

CONS

Small bathrooms

RECOMMENDED

Yes

This was our 11th voyage with Azamara and we have sailed on all 4 ships. Service is great. You see the officers on deck and are willing to talk with the passengers. The staff and crew are friendly and happy. Everyone goes out their way to make sure that each passenger has the best cruise possible. The White Night parties are a blast, delicious food served by the officers on the pool deck, the Amazing evenings feature local talent and also fun. The staff makes sure that everyone can attend and have in the past assigned a crew member to help those with mobility problems.

PROS

Excellent food, gorgeous cabin, amazing staff.

CONS

Some blips that were mostly fixed along the way.

RECOMMENDED

Yes

Love small ship atmosphere, the crew were always smiling and greeting guests, they do not EVER nickel and dime you to death like bigger cruise ships. And no cheesy photos. It costs a bit more up front, but it’s so worth it.
