Review for a Africa Cruise on Azamara Pursuit

We are fairly experienced "cruisers" having been on 8 cruises with Viking, four with Norwegian, and one each on Holland America and UniWorld. Obviously, Viking is our "go to" cruise line (we have three more ocean and two river cruises booked through the spring of 2026). We chose this Azamara cruise because the itinerary offered stops that weren't readily available. This was a repositioning cruise, ...

Surprising Azamara Pursuit

The Azamara Pursuit provides a good, solid, mid-market/premium experience. Embarkation was almost too fast and efficient. The staff had us aboard the ship, being hustled to the safety briefing. before we knew it. We felt we missed out on the joy of arriving and embarking on a new cruise adventure. The ship is comfortable and well maintained, the crew is friendly and helpful. The number of ...

We've used Norwegian for all our cruises and after this one we hit the Platinum level Latitudes. We've experienced some amazing things cruising with NCL, but this cruise has been awful. Only two redeeming things we've had in 12 days. The first was a dinner at their new Mexican restaurant Los Lobos Cantina. The food was excellent, the service was exceptional. We also always book the Mandara Spa ...

We booked the cruise 9 month in advace with great ports in mosambik and madagaskar. A few month later mosambik was canceld and the intresting ports in madagaskar where changed into boring ports. Then where a big pricedrop. Norwegian ignored our complaints. Altough the where about 50 cabins empty, no possibility to get an upgrade. The water and coffee on board tasted terrible and although ...

Chose this cruise because of the itinerary ie. South Africa and Namibia. From day 1 the writing was on the wall. I will start with the good points and there aren’t many. Food-In general this was very good. Good quality and good selection. Food in Aqua and the Venetian was as good if not better than we have had on other cruises. Staff-In line with all other cruise lines stewards, waiters, bar ...

Worst ever cruise - NCL turned our dream vacation into a nightmare!

I had always wanted to return to South Africa since living there as a child. For our retirement we planned a dream vacation that began in Cape Town, picked up the NCL Dawn for a 12 night cruise and should have culminated in a 4 day stay in Mauritius, but as a result of the authorities suspecting a cholera outbreak on board we missed out on our Mauritius stay. I have cruised for over 40 years ...

We chose this cruise for it’s itinerary, even though Mozambique was removed late last year, and an interesting Madagascar port was replaced by two stops in the north of the island which at best could be described as terrible! The South Africa stops were great, Nosy Be and Antsinerara below average due to the Shore Excursion team not explaining the shocking travel arrangements on both, we did not ...

Very disappointing

We booked this back-to-back (31 day) cruise over a year ago. The itinerary took us to ports we’d never been before - Madagascar, Mauritius, Qatar, Abu Dhabi, Dubai - and we’d had such a wonderful experience on the Moon a year ago that we were looking forward to a repeat, which of course did not happen. This was our 63rd cruise, but only our 3rd - and most likely our last - on Silversea. Our ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

We have toured South Africa before ...Cape Town and Garden route route by road. We wanted to try a cruise for the first time as it included two stops in Namibia with Silver Spirit. At least is what was planned. After our booking Luderitz was cancelled in Namibia and came off the schedule due to so called operational challenges! And hooray was the message therefore an extra day in Cape Town! Having ...

We chose this cruise as a celebration for my partner's special birthday. A couple of hours before boarding we found out that the ship had a very bad problem with Norovirus and was in a red state of alert. We were not advised of this by Azamara but discovered this on social media. We were not given the option not to board so would lose our money if we didnt. The embarkation process was chaotic ...
