Azamara Cruises, the small-ship cruise line known for Destination Immersion® and Extended Destination Days, has officially announced its highly anticipated Summer 2027 cruises.
According to certain, this particular lineup will feature a total of 68 sailings and six Grand Voyages across its fleet of intimate vessels, each one expected to provide more time in port, and unmatched access to marquee events, lesser-traveled ports, and longer stays in each destination.
Talk about Azamara’s summer 2027 cruises on a slightly deeper level, we begin from the assortment of six new grand voyages that are all designed to help guests discover the world through extended itineraries. This translates to how guests can embark upon extraordinary Grand Voyages, ranging from 35 to 41 nights, slated to cover multiple countries and continents, thus giving travellers ample time to explore iconic cities and hidden gems.
Although promising a different experience at every juncture, each trip will showcase Azamara’s signature blend of comfort and cultural immersion. On top of it, the stated voyage offer also includes complimentary airfare, shore excursion credits, WiFi for two devices, weekly laundry service, and an upgraded beverage package.
At launch, these voyages’ itineraries include Miami to Venice, Copenhagen to New York, Kobe to Vancouver, and Athens to Lisbon.
Next up, we have cruises focused entirely on Europe. Here, guests can sail through the continent during its most vibrant season, with curated itineraries offering access to world-famous events, such as the Monaco Grand Prix and Edinburgh’s Military Tattoo.
Markedly enough, nearly half of all cruises also feature late nights or overnights, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in authentic local culture after dark. You can enjoy, as a result, Europe’s most iconic destinations long after the sun sets, right from twilight strolls in coastal villages to moonlit concerts in historic city squares. Azamara’s Summer 2027 Cruises commitment will offer, in total, 89 overnight stays and 381 late nights.
Another detail worth a mention is rooted in how, for the first time since 2009 and 2018 respectively, Azamara Cruises would return to the picturesque U.K. ports of Dartmouth and Fowey.
For better understanding, Dartmouth, home to the famed Britannia Royal Naval College, has historically appealed to visitors with its medieval castle and scenic river cruises, whereas on the other, Fowey has buoyed the world with its literary heritage, stunning estuary views, and idyllic Cornish streets.
This return becomes especially important once you consider the stated ports are only accessible to smaller ships, showcasing Azamara’s ability to reach off-the-beaten-path hidden gems that larger cruise lines simply can’t.
Moving on, we now must dig into a piece of detail claiming that Azamara’s 2027 summer cruises will feature 22 new PerryGolf and 10 new Country-Intensive Cruises. All these excursions will make it possible for travelers to dive deep into a single country’s culture and coastline.
Guests can also come expecting to enjoy expanded Azamara Ashore programming, including expertly crafted shore excursions and overnight land programs created in partnership with top local tour operators.
Hold on, we are not done yet, considering we haven’t yet touched upon Azamara’s plan to bring guests through Japan during the stunning cherry blossom season and offer opportunities to witness this natural wonder across both northern and southern ports such as Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Tokyo, Kobe and more.
Among other things, we ought to mention that guests who book early can avail an Early Booking Bonus, which includes 20% off cruise fare. As for travelers’ who book a Veranda cabin or Suite, they will also receive the Experience More Essentials Package ($300 onboard credit, premium beverage package for two, and free Wi-Fi), along with the company’s Always Azamara inclusions, valued at over $4,500.
“The 2027 summer sailings will be our most diverse yet,” said Michael Pawlus, Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara Cruises. “From returning to beloved U.K. ports like Dartmouth and Fowey to sailings timed with iconic events like the Monaco Grand Prix and Japan’s Cherry Blossom season, Summer 2027 is all about delivering meaningful, in-depth travel experiences. “Our Grand Voyages, in particular, some spanning more than 40 nights, are the epitome of our Destination Immersion® Elevated ethos.”
