Azamara Journey Cruises

Azamara Journey really does spend her years exploring the world.  During Europe’s popular summer months you can find her sailing the magical ports of Northern Europe and the Mediterranean.

When not in Europe, Azamara Journey visits exciting and exotic destinations!  Discover the tropical paradise of the Caribbean or explore the South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand.

For help finding your perfect Azamara cruise, use our Cruise Finder tool where you can filter by destination, date and ship or call our luxury cruise experts on 13 13 03. *Terms and conditions apply.

Like her sister ships, the sturdy Azamara Journey is a mid-sized beauty with a deck plan well-suited to the needs of modern voyagers.

You’ll never feel crowded in the comfortable social spaces of Azamara Journey‘s bars, restaurants, lounges, Casino and Cabaret. Nor will you feel like a sardine jammed in around the pool, where our attentive staff is always ready to offer a complimentary bottled water, soft drink or fresh towel. Staterooms feature modern amenities, furnishings, and European linens. And one of the greatest features of this ship is the large number of staterooms with verandas.

There’s nothing better than opening your door to the fresh sea air and views. Azamara’s friendly ships are an altogether wonderful place to call your home away from home!

Spa and Fitness Centre

If you’ve ever wished for a week or two to reboot, this is it. Treat yourself to health, beauty, and restorative treatments in our all new Sanctum Spa. With a focus on wellness and vigor, our relaxing spa offers you the chance to focus on you something you don’t always have time to do at home. Enjoy an oceanfront massage, a quick manicure before hitting the town to explore, teeth whitening, barber services, or even a healing acupuncture treatment.

But beyond the Sanctum Spa, Azamara Journey is also pleased to offer a full range of complimentary onboard fitness and nutrition classes, including one-on-one personal training for an additional cost. An Azamara Journey voyage is the perfect opportunity to focus on your health-so let us treat you to some rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation.

• Body Sculpt Boot Camp: Offered by the spa, this get-fit boot camp includes individual analysis with a personal trainer and four supervised group workouts.

Acupuncture

A voyage is a great time to experience the benefits of this ancient Chinese system of healing. Acupuncture strengthens the immune system, fights disease and controls pain while dissolving accumulated stress and restoring the body’s natural balance and energy.

Azamara’s acupuncturists are experienced practitioners licensed by the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. A variety of treatments are available for pain management, smoking cessation, weight loss, stress reduction and more. After just one session, you may notice immediate benefits in circulation, heart, stomach, skin and mood. Please inquire at the Spa for scheduling and pricing.

Specialised services include:

• Acu-Lift: A safe, painless and effective rejuvenating treatment for the face and body. This treatment improves muscle tone, increases circulation and cellular metabolism, and stimulates the natural production of collagen and elastin. You’ll see a more youthful look in moments, and improvements in skin texture and smoothness.
• Nutritional Consultation: These hour-long nutritional consultations start with a thorough investigation into your diet and lifestyle. You’ll come away with a personalized diet plan based on current nutritional research and a Chinese medical diagnosis. Personal physical concerns and constitutional sensitivities will be addressed, and you will have a pathway to better health.

Our acupuncture program at sea can also address chronic issues with supplemental nutritional advice. Only the purest, highest quality, chemical-free herbs are used to create these formulas. Most of the herbs used in production are organically grown to ensure safety and efficacy.

Onboard

Refurbished in late 2012 and early 2013, the Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest feature sparkling accommodations, 24-hour room service, a variety of dining experiences and bars, a full-service spa, fitness centre and pool. Guests also enjoy evening entertainment in the Casino, Cabaret Lounge and Mosaic Night.

Three onboard shops offer everything from sundries and logo wear to exquisite jewellery and one-of-a-kind gifts.

Azamara Cruises‘ three boutique-style ships carry just under 700 guests, with a one-to-two staff to guest ratio. And you’ll love the fact that 93% of the staterooms offer ocean views and 68% have a private veranda.

Azamara Club Cruises staff and crew
Destination-rich travel experiences bring guests onboard, but Azamara Journey‘s outgoing staff and crew bring them back. Service is prompt and attentive, and the staff and crew quickly learn guests’ tastes and preferences. The onboard atmosphere is genuinely friendly, with senior officers and crew mingling easily with guests. Azamara’s club-like community appeals to couples, singles and grown families.

Dining

Azamara Cruises take you to remarkable destinations and give you more time to fall in love with them. It’s what’s called Destination Immersion-and it’s what happens when you can stay longer and experience more on Azamara Journey‘s voyages. More time to get to know the local life and culture in every port. After all, isn’t that what travel is all about?

But Destination Immersion isn’t just something that happens on shore. It happens onboard, too. What does that mean for dining onboard? Azamara incorporates the flavors of a destination into our menus. What does that mean for you? A culinary experience that is exclusive. Personalized. And very local. It’s time to get a real taste for travel.

Aqualina
Specialty Dining
At Aqualina, you will find some of Italy’s most celebrated dishes. But you will also find contemporary inventive cuisine. Start with lobster ravioli, followed by arugula and radicchio with prosciutto chips, and a Venetian seafood platter. You will not be able to say no to our famous desserts: marsala custard, lemon souffle, or tiramisu. Our chefs love to be inspired, so after an on shore visit to a local market, you can also expect a delectable dish so local, you will feel like you are not onboard anymore.

Specialty dining is complimentary for suite guests. For others, there is a $30 per-person cover. Reservations are highly recommended.

Prime C
Specialty Dining
Steaks cooked to perfection. Crab cakes with remoulade. Lobster bisque. Lamb, game hens and seafood. And last but certainly not least, our famous mini cinnamon-sugar donuts with dipping sauces for dessert. (Yes, they are as good as they sound.) But at Prime C, you are in for more than an array of delectable dining. Expect a marvelous evening in a warm wood-paneled ambiance with stunning views and lush decor. And, if our chef has made a visit to a local market while we are in port, you will also have an authentic local dish to look forward to, made just for you.

Specialty dining is complimentary for suite guests. For others, there is a $30 per-person cover. Reservations are highly recommended.

Windows Cafe
Casual Dining & Snacks
The best way to see where you are in the world is not by looking at your itinerary. It’s by checking out the menu at Windows Cafe!

We also create an extra live station made from local ingredients purchased in port: Greek salad made with local feta (Greece), pasta prepared with local mushrooms (Italy), fresh Mussels served with garlic bread (Netherlands). Take in the fresh breeze at an outdoor table and relax in the easy and casual atmosphere of the newly renovated Windows Cafe. Enjoy an intimate breakfast, lunch, or dinner for two or a lively meal for six with our flexible seating options. And speaking of choices, selections change daily.

Discoveries Lounge:
Located just outside Azamara Journey‘s main restaurant, this congenial bar is a favorite gathering place for pre- and post-dinner conversation and drinks.

We recommend that you slip right into a comfortable seat and sip for a while you never know who’ll walk by.

The Living Room:
The idea of the Living Room is just that. To live in and to enjoy time with friends and fellow guests! Much of the room is furnished as a living room, with clusters of large comfortable chairs and sofas. It’s the perfect space for guests throughout the day and evening to engage in lively conversations, take in interesting speakers, peruse art, play a game of cards, enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, wines & tapas, delightful music, or simply relax with a good book. After dinner, the Chef occasionally sets up for a featured and delicious dessert.

Card Room
On the starboard side of the Living Room, guests will find the Card Room for those who love a round of Bridge or other games.

In Touch
Inside the Card Room guests will have four computers available for use during a voyage on the Azamara Journey.

Cabaret Lounge:
Enjoy live performances of professional full-stage musical revues, classical soloists, bands and other entertainment in a cabaret nightclub with a full bar and cozy tables. You could see as many as three distinctly different shows while onboard. And considering the cost of theater and entertainment tickets back home, isn’t that nice?

Casino
Test your skill, or prove to your fellow guests that beginner’s luck is real. The Casino will keep you entertained with blackjack, roulette, slot machines, and three-card poker games. Group and individual gaming lessons are offered at no charge-a great way to learn gaming strategy! The Casino accepts payment by Key Card, cash, credit card and foreign currency.
