Azamara Reveals More About Epic World Cruise

Almost five months at sea can sound a bit repetitive, but Azamara has ensured that its world cruise next year is packed with special events.

The 155-night cruise departs from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on January 5, 2024.

“Having just announced the expansion of our AzAmazing programming, we’re pleased to share these carefully crafted events that are sure to make Azamara Onward’s first-ever World Voyage one to remember,” said Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara, in a statement. “Each of these special celebrations is uniquely tailored to each destination, allowing our guests to get an authentic experience of local culture and traditions in extraordinary venues from the renowned Acropolis Museum in Greece to the historic Nassif House in Saudi Arabia.”

Highlights and events include:

—Only World Voyagers can embark on this exclusive full-day tour of the Taj Mahal. Guests will be flown to the iconic landmark and guided through its rich history and stunning architecture. Travelers will also enjoy a delicious lunch and local entertainment as they spend the day soaking up all the grandeur of the majestic marble structure’s intricate design.

—Rather than fight crowds at Papua New Guinea’s renowned Cultural Festival, travelers can experience the wonders of this vibrant celebration at the Madang Resort’s very own Cultural Festival, held exclusively for Azamara guests. Each distinct tribal group will showcase its traditional customs, dresses, dialects, songs, and dances through spirited performances.

—Turkey. Taking place in the second largest underground cistern in Istanbul, this exclusive World Voyage event will feature traditional Turkish cuisine and beverages served alongside a high-energy performance of modernized folk dances and music from different regions of Anatolia, created just for Azamara’s World Voyagers and never to be seen again. Those are just a few of the planned events. Contact Azamara for more information.
