Top Destinations to Explore with Azamara Cruises

From sun-soaked islands to storied coastlines and polar wonders, the world’s most popular cruise destinations continue to capture the imaginations of travelers everywhere. But where you go is only part of the story. With Azamara, every port becomes an opportunity for deeper discovery, thanks to smaller ships, longer stays, and immersive excursions that deliver more than just a photo op.

Whether you’re chasing summer in the Mediterranean or exploring the icy edges of the North Atlantic, this guide spotlights the most extraordinary destinations you can explore on an Azamara Cruise.

Mediterranean Gems: From Croatia to the Adriatic

The Mediterranean remains a favorite among luxury cruise lovers, and Azamara offers access to some of its most enchanting ports. Think white-stone towns like Dubrovnik and Kotor, seaside escapes along the Amalfi Coast, and culinary adventures in Greece. Thanks to late-night stays and overnight dockings, you can watch the sunset from a cliffside taverna or join a moonlit walking tour through medieval streets.

Northern Europe & The White Nights Experience

From the fjords of Norway to the canals of Copenhagen, Northern Europe is nothing short of majestic. Travel during summer to witness the legendary White Nights, when daylight lingers into the early morning hours. Azamara’s smaller ships allow access to charming harbors and lesser-known cities, making every day a surprise waiting to be explored.

Iceland, Greenland & Northern Atlantic Island-Hopping

For true adventure travel, few journeys rival Azamara’s northern Atlantic sailings. These routes explore Iceland’s geothermal wonders, Greenland’s remote fjords, and off-the-grid gems like the Faroe Islands. Expect wildlife encounters, volcanic landscapes, and the kind of rugged beauty that can only be reached by sea.

South Pacific Jewels: French Polynesia to New Zealand

The South Pacific is a dreamscape of turquoise lagoons, lush volcanic isles, and slow, blissful rhythms. Azamara’s small ships glide through Tahiti, Bora Bora, Fiji, and onward to New Zealand, where travelers can transition from tropical beaches to Maori cultural sites and dramatic fjords. This is luxury cruising with a deep sense of place.

Asia, Australia & New Zealand: Country-Intensive Voyages

Azamara’s country-intensive voyages in Asia and Oceania give travelers time to deeply engage with each culture. From temple-hopping in Japan to wine tasting in New Zealand and snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef in Australia, these sailings balance bucket-list sights with local immersion. The result? A richer, more meaningful journey.

Africa & Western Africa Adventures

Explore the rarely seen corners of Western Africa with itineraries that visit places like Senegal, Namibia, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. These voyages focus on cultural exchange, wildlife viewing, and storytelling—from visits to historic slave trade sites to safari-style excursions. It’s a powerful, eye-opening perspective on a continent too often skipped on mainstream routes.
