Azamara Cruises, celebrated for its Destination Immersion® experiences and leading the industry with the most late-night and overnight stays in port, is offering travelers an exciting new way to explore the world — by moonlight. Unlike most cruise lines that set sail before sunset, Azamara comes alive as the night unfolds.
Guests are invited to immerse themselves in local culture and history under the night sky in some of the world’s most iconic ports. Azamara’s carefully crafted night tours, extended port stays, and the new Stories Under the Stars program allow travelers to enjoy more time in port, experiencing destinations in a completely new way. Imagine sipping local wine by lantern light in a secluded Croatian garden, watching flamenco dancers beneath the stars in Seville, or listening to ancient myths and legends on the deck of Azamara’s intimate ships.
