Azamara Club Cruises has just dropped the exciting new destinations and experiences available throughout its 2018-19 sailings for the newest addition, Azamara Pursuit, and yes, we’re a tiny bit excited.
The Azamara brand brought its second luxury vessel to Melbourne earlier this year, Azamara Journey, after making its Australian debut with Azamara Quest back in 2015.
And while Azamara Pursuit – announced in September – has no plans to head down under (yet), there’s still some impressive stuff to perve on, and get your clients excited about too.
“We’re thrilled to announce Azamara Pursuit’s voyages,” said Larry Pimentel, President and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises.
“By expanding our destination offerings, guests will be able to experience even more regions of the world and revisit regions we haven’t been to in some time now.”
Building on the Azamara brand promise, Pimentel continued, “Like its sisters, Azamara Pursuit will take guests to the most uniquely curated destination experiences.”
