Azamara Cruises is setting a new benchmark in small-ship exploration with its newly announced Summer 2027 cruises, featuring 68 thoughtfully curated sailings and six expansive Grand Voyages. The brand continues to elevate the art of travel with longer port stays, intimate ship settings, and culturally rich itineraries that blend major events with quiet, off-the-beaten-path discoveries. For travellers who want more than just a cruise, Azamara delivers a seamless invitation to dive deeper into the world's most enchanting destinations.
Discover a New Season of Cultural Wonder
Each 2027 sailing by Azamara is more than just a holiday—it's an experience shaped by meaningful travel and connection.
Six Grand Voyages, Countless Memories
Azamara's Grand Voyages are the cornerstone of its Destination Immersion® Elevated ethos. These extended journeys, ranging from 35 to 41 nights, stretch across continents with immersive routes like Miami to Venice, Athens to Lisbon, and Kobe to Vancouver. Designed for the curious explorer, every Grand Voyage includes perks such as complimentary airfare, shore excursion credits, and WiFi for two devices—plus weekly laundry and a premium beverage package. These are true explorations, offering time to not just visit, but feel the rhythm of each locale.
Extended Days, Deeper Nights
Azamara is all about staying longer and seeing more, and the 2027 summer season reinforces this beautifully. With 89 overnight stays and 381 late-night port departures, guests can go beyond the postcard version of each city. Whether it's a moonlit gondola ride in Venice or a street concert in Lisbon, evenings ashore feel just as immersive as daytime adventures. Add in AzAmazing Evenings and Destination Celebration Dinners, and you have a night-time travel experience like no other.
Celebrate Iconic Moments Across Europe and Asia
Some sailings are timed specifically for cultural happenings that define the spirit of a place.
Cruise Into the Monaco Grand Prix and Edinburgh Tattoo
Guests sailing through the Mediterranean will find opportunities to experience major global events with front-row access. Azamara's itineraries align with the Monaco Grand Prix, giving travellers a chance to witness the speed and glamour of Formula 1 in one of Europe's most exclusive settings. Later in the season, another highlight awaits in Scotland—the dramatic, stirring Edinburgh Military Tattoo, staged on the historic castle esplanade.
The Return to Dartmouth and Fowey
Making a comeback for the first time in over a decade, the U.K. ports of Dartmouth and Fowey will welcome Azamara again in 2027. These smaller, history-rich harbours are rarely accessible to larger vessels. Dartmouth delights with river cruises and the iconic Britannia Royal Naval College, while Fowey enchants with estuary views and Cornish charm. These ports exemplify Azamara's commitment to truly personalised, small-ship exploration.
Take an In-Depth Journey Into Regional Culture
Specialist voyages and themed itineraries enhance the value of Azamara's Summer 2027 season.
Country-Intensive Cruises and PerryGolf Collection
The 2027 lineup introduces 10 new Country-Intensive Cruises—itineraries focused on exploring a single nation's cultural heart. These sailings allow for a slow travel approach through regions like Greece, Italy, or Japan. The 22 new PerryGolf voyages, meanwhile, combine the elegance of cruising with the joy of world-class golfing at top-rated courses.
Both types of itineraries offer Azamara Ashore programming, including land tours, immersive shore excursions, and curated overnight journeys developed with top local experts.
Springtime in Japan: The Cherry Blossom Sailings
Sailing in spring aboard Azamara Pursuit®, travellers will experience Japan in full bloom, with itineraries that highlight the nation's revered cherry blossom season. From Tokyo to Hiroshima, these sailings combine urban elegance with serene gardens and sacred shrines. With local guides and access to lesser-known ports, it's a deep cultural dive wrapped in floral splendour.
Designed to Help You Embrace the World at Night
Azamara remains the only cruise line offering evening shore tours as part of its regular programming.
Unwind After Dark with Extended Port Access
Summer 2027 offers unmatched access to ports after sunset, with nearly half of all itineraries featuring overnight or late-night stays. That means more time to savour the ambiance of an open-air café in Nice, take in rooftop views in Barcelona, or attend a flamenco performance in Seville. Azamara lets you explore like a local—after dark, when the cities take on a different kind of magic.
Early Booking Has Its Perks
Guests who book early can enjoy an exclusive Early Booking Bonus that includes 20% off the cruise fare, and those choosing a Veranda or Suite cabin receive the Experience More Essentials Package (AUD $450 onboard credit, premium beverage package for two, and WiFi). This is on top of the Always Azamara inclusions valued at over AUD $6,700.
The variety in Azamara's Summer 2027 season means there's a perfect voyage for every kind of traveller—from those wanting to follow the cherry blossoms through Japan to explorers seeking Grand Voyages that link the Americas with Europe or Asia. With itineraries built for cultural enrichment and crafted for connection, this season marks one of the most ambitious yet.
