Azamara Club Cruises - Azamara Journey

Azamara Journey

Formed in 2007, Azamara Club Cruises specialize in voyages to smaller ports not frequented by larger cruise ship companies. Operated by Celebrity Cruises, the company prides itself on offering passengers a personalized cruise ship experience, synonymous with smaller resort liners. The special attention attracts many passengers who feel it translates to superior service and a memorable on-board experience.

The Azamara Club Cruises' ships sail to the Panama Canal, The Caribbean, Baja/Sea of Cortez; including Europe and Asia. A typical mid-sized ship, such as the Azamara Journey, offers European-style service; passengers wine and dine in any of the on-board specialty restaurants which provide entertainment guests for an extra charge.

Some of the notable features of the Azamara Journey include an Astral Spa with an acupuncture suite and a therapy pool. In addition to the Martini Bar and Casino Luxe, a cafe-style coffee bar. To make passengers' experience extra-special, the Azamara cruise ships offer butler service in suites as well as concierge-style amenities.

An additional appeal of the Azamara Club Cruises' ships is their country-club theme which comes with great service. In essence, the mid-sized ships offered by the Azamara Club Cruises are a breath of fresh air to many of the passengers. As they cater for a growing niche of holiday makers keen on taking a break from the more common bigger ships.
