Azamara Cruises has officially announced its winter sailings for 2025 and 2026, featuring eight maiden ports and exclusive destinations tailored for its smaller vessels. The luxury cruise line is set to offer a unique Grand Voyage that circumnavigates South America and innovative back-to-back Caribbean sailings with no sea days.
Michael Pawlus, the Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara Cruises, expressed his excitement about the new offerings: “We’re thrilled to be bringing our guests to eight new ports of call in 2025 and 2026. From Scarborough, the bustling capital of the small island of Tobago, to the stunning French island of Réunion’s Pointe des Galets, our itineraries are designed for longer, more immersive experiences.”
The highlight of the new itineraries is the 79-night Grand Voyage, starting and ending in Miami, which promises an in-depth exploration of South America’s diverse landscapes and cultures. Azamara’s Caribbean itineraries are also structured to maximize time in port, allowing guests to enjoy up to 14 days of uninterrupted island culture with zero days at sea.
