Azamara Cruises, a leading small-ship cruise line, has announced its highly anticipated Summer 2027 cruises, featuring 68 sailings and six Grand Voyages across its fleet.
“The 2027 summer sailings will be our most diverse yet, continuing to demonstrate Azamara’s commitment to immersive, enriching travel,” Azamara Cruises head of itinerary planning, Michael Pawlus, said.
“From returning to beloved U.K. ports like Dartmouth and Fowey to sailings timed with iconic events like the Monaco Grand Prix and Japan’s Cherry Blossom season, summer 2027 is all about delivering meaningful, in-depth travel experiences.”
“Our Grand Voyages, in particular, some spanning more than 40 nights, are the epitome of our Destination Immersion Elevated ethos – designed for curious travelers who want to see more, stay longer, and dive deeper into every destination, all while enjoying the intimate atmosphere and personalized service of our small ships.”
2027 cruise highlights
Six new Grand Voyages – These range from 35 to 41 nights, visiting multiple countries and continents. Itineraries include Miami to Venice, Copenhagen to New York, Kobe to Vancouver, and Athens to Lisbon. Each itinerary is designed to showcase Azamara’s signature blend of comfort and cultural immersion. Grand Voyages include complimentary airfare, shore excursion credits, Wi-Fi for two devices, weekly laundry service, and an upgraded beverage package.
Europe in full bloom – Guests can sail through the heart of Europe during its most vibrant season, with curated itineraries offering access to world-famous events such as the Monaco Grand Prix and Edinburgh’s Military Tattoo. Nearly half of all cruises feature late nights or overnights, allowing travelers to immerse themselves in authentic local culture after dark. They can enjoy Europe’s most iconic destinations long after the sun sets – from twilight strolls in coastal villages to moonlit concerts in historic city squares.
Back to beloved ports – For the first time since 2009 and 2018 respectively, Azamara Cruises returns to the picturesque U.K. ports of Dartmouth and Fowey. Accessible only to smaller ships, these hidden gems showcase Azamara’s ability to reach off-the-beaten-path destinations that larger cruise lines simply can’t.
Destination Immersion elevated – The 2027 summer cruises feature 22 new PerryGolf and 10 new Country-Intensive Cruises that allow travelers to dive deep into a single country’s culture and coastline. Guests can enjoy expanded Azamara Ashore programming, including expertly crafted shore excursions and overnight land programs created in partnership with top local tour operators.
Immersive access to Asia – Azamara Pursuit brings guests through Japan during the stunning cherry blossom season – offering opportunities to witness this natural wonder across both northern and southern ports such as Hiroshima, Kanazawa, Tokyo, Kobe and more. These itineraries combine cultural landmarks with natural beauty, all delivered with Azamara Cruises’ signature local insight.
More late nights and overnight stays – Summer 2027 cruises offer 89 overnight stays and 381 late nights, giving guests unmatched access to destinations after dark. As the only cruise line offering evening tours, Azamara invites travelers to experience the magic of each destination long after the sun sets.
Guests booking early can take advantage of an Early Booking Bonus, which includes 20 per cent off cruise fare. Travelers who book a Veranda cabin or Suite also receive the Experience More Essentials Package (US$300 onboard credit, premium beverage package for two, and free Wi-Fi). They also get the Always Azamara inclusions, valued at over US$4,500 (around AU$7,000).
