Smaller Ships, Bigger Sense of Place
The journey is the destination on Azamara
Azamara’s boutique-style ships carry fewer guests by design, and that choice changes everything. With access to smaller ports and the ability to dock closer to the heart of a destination, your days feel fuller and your evenings less rushed. This is not cruising as you once knew it. This is destination immersion at sea, designed for travelers who care less about waterslides and more about where they are waking up tomorrow.
Think overnight stays in iconic cities. Think late departures that let you linger over dinner, catch a concert, or wander cobblestone streets after the day-trippers have gone home. Azamara doesn’t believe in curfews when a city is at its most alive.
Azamara’s 2026 and 2027 summer sailings are your invitation to travel well and linger, plus receive exclusive amenities when you book with Montecito Village Travel, like $100 shipboard credit per person when booked in a Club Ocean View Stateroom or higher category.
Summer 2026: European Charm, Natural Wonders, and a Celestial Show
Europe takes center stage in Summer 2026 with 77 new itineraries calling on the Mediterranean, Northern Europe, the British Isles, Ireland, and beyond. These aren’t quick port drop-ins — they’re thoughtfully designed voyages with late stays and overnight calls that let you explore local rhythms after the day-trippers leave.
🌅 Solar Eclipse Voyages2026 brings a rare twist: three solar eclipse sailing opportunities crafted around the August 2026 celestial event. Imagine watching a solar eclipse from the deck of a small ship, framed by open sea and horizon:
- 11-night Mediterranean (Greece, Turkey, Italy) aboard Azamara Onward
- 12-night Ireland Intensive (Belfast, Dublin, Galway) on Azamara Quest
- 18-night Iceland & Canada adventure (Reykjavik, St. John, Quebec City) on Azamara Journey
Each itinerary blends cultural depth and natural wonder with this once-in-a-lifetime sky spectacle.
