Azamara World Cruise 2024 prices

Back in November, luxury cruise line Azamara announced a 155-night World Voyage to set sail in 2024 aboard its newest ship Azamara Onward. At the time, the line also said that the itinerary would be available to book in shorter segments for those who did not want to take the entire 155-night journey.

Now, Azamara has further broken down the sailing into 10 segments. In an email to travel partners, the line said “While we want every guest to experience all 155 nights of this incredible voyage, we understand the need for flexibility, which is why we’ve made all segments available to our guests.”

Every segment is now open for individual booking, and passengers can choose whether to join the ship for one or more segments.

When guests book a segment, they’ll save 20 percent on the cruise fare and receive an Experience More Essentials Package, which includes free wifi, $300 onboard credit, and an upgraded premium beverage package.

The segments are as follows:

• Segment 1: Central America Tapestry – January 5 to 18, 2024
• Segment 2: Pacific Mysteries – January 18 to February 3
• Segment 3: South Pacific Explorer – February 3 to 14
• Segment 4: Kiwis & Koalas – February 15 to 29
• Segment 5: Astounding Australia & Asia – March 1 to 21
• Segment 6: Vietnam & Thailand Pathways – March 22 to April 5
• Segment 7: Ancient Trade Routes – April 6 to 25
• Segment 8: Ancient Reflections – April 26 to May 16
• Segment 9: European Gems & Icons – May 17 to 29
• Segment 10: Adriatic & Med Gateways – May 30 to June 9

An optional 11-night extension (Segment 11) is also available from Barcelona to Southampton for those who want to end their voyage in the UK.

Currently, starting prices for the segments range from $2,239 to $5,199 per person.

The starting price for the entire 155-night sailing in an interior cabin is $34,699 per person. Those who book the entire World Voyage will receive:

• $4,000 in onboard credit, plus an additional $3,000 credit for shore excursions
• Unlimited wifi for one device
• Premium Beverage Package for two
• Roundtrip business class airfare to Fort Lauderdale

The newest ship in the fleet will take cruisers around the world: The Azamara Onward.

From the Rose-Red City of Petra, to the cave hotels of Turkey; from the Forbidden City in China to Mayan Temples in Central America — the World’s Wonders await after a long hiatus. Are you ready?

You may not be quite ready now, but let’s hope you will be by January 5, 2024 when Azamara – the cruise line dedicated to Destination Immersion® experiences will launch its new World Voyage aboard the company’s newest ship, Azamara Onward.

Starting from Fort Lauderdale, the comprehensive sailing offers immersive and intimate experiences to the World’s Wonders. The 155-night journey will reach over 40 countries in six continents with 22 overnight stays and 27 late nights in port, giving travelers ample time to fully explore the rich culture and history of each destination.

Top guides, overnights with time to explore in depth, sunrises and sunsets, and immersive explorations whenever possible are important elements of the cruise.

“We are thrilled to finally unveil our World Voyage. With opportunities to visit the Seven Wonders of the World and other iconic sites such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Galapagos, and the Black Sea, we are allowing our guests to check off all their bucket list destinations in one sailing and to connect with more countries and cultures than ever before,” says Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara.

“Not only are we taking our guests further, but we are also encouraging them to travel deeper with our unique overnight land experiences, designed to bring travelers to the heart of the destination and giving them enough time to appreciate its culture.”

Highlights of immersive experiences of the World’s Wonders:

• Great Wall of China (three-night land excursion): Travelers will become fully immersed in Beijing with a visit to the Great Wall of China, a guided tour through the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and a rickshaw ride through the hutongs, or narrow alleys dating back to the 16th century.
• Great Pyramids of Giza (shore excursion): Guests are driven to Egypt’s largest city, Cairo. It’s here at the Giza Plateau where the Great Pyramids are found, the only one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World still in existence. An Egyptologist will guide guests through this mortuary complex to the mysterious Sphinx. In addition, travelers will explore other sites such as the Museum of Antiquities and cruise down the Nile river. 
• Chichén Itzá (shore excursion): Guests will fly over Caribbean waters and the Mayan Riviera’s tropical jungle to Chichén Itzá, where a tour guide will lead guests through the ruins and immerse travelers in the ancient Mayan way of life.
• Petra (shore excursion): Guests will walk through the Siq, the narrow, winding gorge that leads to the mysterious desert city of Petra, Jordan. Known as the “Rose Red City” for the color of stone from which it was carved, Petra is home to ancient royal tombs, Colonnaded Street, and the Temple of Qasr al-Bint.

• Taj Mahal (three-night land excursion): Travelers will fly to New Delhi for sunrise and sunset visits to the Taj Mahal. Guests will also explore Agra Fort, the main residence of the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty until 1638, and I'timād-ud-Daulah tomb, the Taj Mahal’s precursor. 
• Christ the Redeemer (six-night land excursion): Travelers will enjoy a full exploration of Rio de Janeiro, including a visit to Corcovado to view the towering Christ the Redeemer statue, a cable car ride to the summit of Sugarloaf Mountain, and a trip to Iguazú Falls to see both the Brazilian and Argentinian sides of the one of the world’s largest waterfalls.
• Colosseum (shore excursion): Guests will travel back in time to the world of gladiatorial glory inside the Colosseum. A local guide will lead the small group through the 2000-year-old amphitheater that once seated up to 55,000 spectators.

Other immersive overnight experiences available on the World Voyage include a stay on a Great Barrier Reef island, complete with glass bottom boat excursions and snorkeling to see the unique wildlife up close; a journey through the cobblestoned streets of Transylvania, Romania to learn about the life of Vlad the Impaler, who inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula; and an exploration of the centuries-old rock-cut churches and whimsical “fairy chimneys” of Cappadocia, Turkey with accommodation in a cave hotel.

My favorite element of an Azamara cruise is the company’s signature AzAmazing Evenings – designed to connect guests to the local culture of the destination. This will be included as part of Azamara’s World Voyage: $22,000 worth of exclusive amenities, including $7,000 in onboard credit, business class air travel, a pre-voyage hotel stay and gala, access to exclusive World Voyage events, a premium beverage package for two, and more. Shore excursions and overnight land excursions will be available at an additional price.
