Our first cruise experience. Couldn’t have been more wonderful and a lot is down to Elro, our butler, who looked after us so wonderfully.
The whole cruise experience was magical, all the crew are warm, friendly and so very helpful.
I don’t think I’d look for another small ship cruise line and if you’re on Azamara, and you have Elro helping you, you are truly blessed.

We chose this cruise because it gave us the opportunity to try a Club Continent Suite at a very reasonable cost. We made a great decision. Although we were put off by the negative reviews that we had read on this site, we are happy to say that the Onward is a beautiful, well staffed and well run ship. Our cruise couldn't have been better. Our suite was clean, bright, and well appointed. The ...
We chose this cruise as it visited a number of ports we hadn’t visited before- Corsica, Elba, Sardinia, Valencia as well as ports we had visited before that we didn’t mind visiting again- Menorca, Majorca and Barcelona. We have visited a number of the Mediterranean ports a few times and find Azamara tend to have more of the non-mainstream ports which we enjoy.
We had been on a cruise with ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary, specifically our first port of call, Portoferraio, Elba. The ship docked at many smaller islands and the weather was perfect - warm and sunny each day. This was our first time on Azamara, having been on over 25 cruises over the years, mostly on Celebrity. We knew the ship was older and would not have the same amenities as newer and larger ships, and this ...
I chose this cruise a surprise gift for my husband's big birthday. After celebrating with his cousins who live in Rome, we hopped the train in Termini to Civitavecchia. We were excited to see new places like Elba, Sardinia, Menorca, and Corsica and revisit Valencia, Palma de Mallorca and Barcelona. We were blessed with sunny days and temperatures in the high seventies. I was so relieved to ...
We decided on this for the itinerary and the small ship. The ports, the ability to just do our own thing and not feel part of a large group of people. We could not be happier with our choice. The staff is kind and try everything they can do to make your trip memorable. Ports were outstanding and the ability to sail up the river into the heart of Seville Spain was a once in an lifetime ...
Food was great as was our cabin. The team onboard were generally very good. Entertainment was great until the Cruise Directors would sing and then it was dire - but some people seemed to enjoy it.
Dj Connor was brilliant and we were usually last to leave at night. Being able to enjoy dinner at the back of the ship and eat outdoors was a real plus and we toom advantage of that when we could. ...
Looking for a smaller, more upscale cruise line to replace my favorite that is now in liquidation, I chose Azamara. I was not disappointed. It is a lovely, small ship that has been nicely updated and very well maintained. I was surprised by the truly exceptional service I received. Everyone from bartenders, to waiters, to entertainment crew, to guest services, the concierge, and my ...
I have never done AZAMARA before my best friends did and had a great time. I originally booked a greek cruise and was cancelled, no lift and shift then there was so this was the cheapest i could find.
PRE CRUISE.
As it was my birthday on 27th oct this was the closest i could find. I asked others if we could meet up in ROME for a DINNER was not interested.
I flew out on 26th oct to ROME, ...
Let's preface this review by saying we are long time Celebrity cruisers. So we tend to compare against Celebrity.
First off, let me say that we had a terrific time. The guests we met were very chatty and dare I say it......more friendly than Celebrity guests on the whole. The cruise was to western med during COVID so many of the guests were British. I'd say, empirically speaking, the ship ...
