Azamara Opens Bookings for 2028 World Cruise Segments, Grand Voyages and Combination Cruises

Azamara Cruises has officially opened bookings for 14 World Cruise Segments, nine Grand Voyages and six Combination Cruises drawn from its epic 2028 World Cruise aboard Azamara Onward. Spanning 175 nights and visiting six continents and 40 countries, this is Azamara’s most immersive global journey yet – and now you don’t have to commit to the full circumnavigation to experience it.

2028 Azamara World Cruise: 175 Nights, 6 Continents

Sailing aboard Azamara Onward, the 2028 World Cruise runs for 175 nights, weaving through the Caribbean, South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand, Southeast Asia, Africa and the Mediterranean. Guests on the full voyage can expect 91 ports, 68 late nights and overnights, plus Azamara’s hallmark Destination Immersion with longer stays and deeper cultural experiences in key ports.

Highlights of the full itinerary include legendary destinations such as Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, French Polynesia, Australia’s Red Centre, Southeast Asia, Cape Town, the Canary Islands, the Amalfi Coast, Greek Isles and Turkey. The cruise departs Miami on 5 January 2028 and concludes in Athens on 29 June 2028, making it one of the most comprehensive world voyages currently on offer.

14 World Cruise Segments: “Choose Your Own Adventure”

Azamara’s World Cruise Segments carve the 175‑night journey into 14 bookable chapters, allowing guests to tap into the same rare ports and extended stays as the full world cruise without sailing the entire itinerary. Each segment features late nights, overnights and curated AzAmazing experiences, so you still get that “mini world cruise” feel.

Standout segments include:

• 19 January – 4 February 2028: Peru, Chile, Pitcairn & French Polynesia
  Sail from Lima (Callao) through the remote South Pacific with extended visits to Easter Island and Pitcairn Island, then continue to Fakarava, Moorea and Papeete (Tahiti). Guests can add a pre‑cruise AzAmazing Journey to Machu Picchu, ticking off another bucket‑list icon before embarkation.
• 1 March – 17 March 2028: Australia & Indonesia
  This segment links Australia and Indonesia and includes the option to join The Spirit of Australia’s Outback AzAmazing Journey, an immersive land programme into the Red Centre and Uluru (Ayers Rock).
• 28 March – 10 April 2028: Vietnam, Thailand & Singapore
  Features extended time in Ho Chi Minh City, a double overnight in Bangkok, plus visits to Ko Samui and Singapore for a rich blend of culture, cuisine and big‑city buzz.

Across all 14 segments, guests can tailor their journey from a shorter chapter to several weeks, accessing rare, hard‑to‑reach ports best experienced by cruise while still enjoying Azamara’s small‑ship atmosphere.

9 Grand Voyages: 35+ Night Deep‑Dive Journeys

For travellers who want more time at sea without committing to 175 nights, Azamara has launched nine Grand Voyages, each 35 nights or longer, combining multiple segments into extended regional explorations. These itineraries focus on Asia, Africa and the South Pacific and are designed for guests who want to slow down and truly settle into each region.

New for 2028, Grand Voyages add extra value with unlimited Wi‑Fi and up to US$2,000 airfare credit, on top of Azamara’s usual inclusions. Travellers still benefit from the same rare ports, late nights and overnights that define the full world cruise – just packaged into more manageable, multi‑week adventures.

6 Combination Cruises: Build Your Own “Mini World Cruise”

To maximise flexibility, Azamara has also created six Combination Cruises, pairing selected segments into seamless, cross‑continental journeys. These itineraries let guests link regions – for example, South Pacific plus Australia, or Southeast Asia plus Africa and the Med – with smooth handovers between segments and consistent onboard experience.

Combination Cruises maintain the exclusivity, rare access and Destination Immersion of the 2028 World Cruise, while giving you the freedom to design a journey that fits your calendar and travel style. Whether you book a single segment, a Grand Voyage or a tailored combination, the idea is simple: build your own version of a world cruise.

Included Benefits and How to Book

Guests booking the full 175‑night 2028 World Cruise enjoy an impressive bundle of inclusions valued at over US$37,000 per stateroom, such as:

• Up to US$10,000 airfare credit
• Pre‑cruise hotel night, transfers and US$500 luggage reimbursement
• US$5,000 onboard credit and US$3,600 shore excursion credit
• Unlimited Wi‑Fi for two devices, premium beverage package and all standard Azamara inclusions like gratuities, dining and laundry.

While these richest benefits are exclusive to full World Cruise guests, the newly opened segments, Grand Voyages and Combination Cruises still provide strong value through Azamara’s inclusive fares and extended port time.

More details – including full segment lists, Grand Voyages and Combination Cruises – are available on Azamara’s official 2028 World Cruise page and through specialist cruise travel advisors.

If you were to pick just one chapter – South Pacific, Southeast Asia, or Australia & Indonesia – which part of Azamara’s 2028 World Cruise would you build your “mini world cruise” around?
