The 2025 itineraries highlight Azamara's hallmark late-night and overnight stays, enabling deeper connections with destinations.

The city of Kanazawa captivates with its art-filled gardens and historical districts that transport visitors back to the Edo period. Concluding in Tokyo, this voyage balances the old and new, showcasing Japan’s unmatched ability to merge tradition with innovation

The smaller size of Azamara’s ships enhances this itinerary, offering access to ports typically unreachable by larger vessels. This advantage ensures an intimate and immersive exploration of Japan’s diverse landscapes and vibrant culture, setting the stage for unforgettable experiences.

Gems of the Adriatic and Aegean: Mediterranean Splendour

The journey highlights Azamara's unique ability to uncover lesser-known treasures, such as the idyllic charm of Chania, Greece. Here, guests can stroll through cobblestone streets, dine on authentic Cretan cuisine, and relax at the serene Falassarna Beach, a hidden gem perfect for sunset views.

Other stops along this route reveal the region’s rich tapestry of history and natural beauty. From the Venetian architecture of Split to the pristine beaches of Corfu, every destination offers a blend of heritage and relaxation. The late-night and overnight stays allow guests to immerse themselves fully in each locale, experiencing local life beyond the typical tourist hours.

The Adriatic and Aegean seas are renowned for their striking beauty, and this voyage showcases them in all their glory. Whether exploring ancient ruins or enjoying Mediterranean delicacies at a waterfront café, this itinerary promises an authentic connection to the region’s culture and charm.

Northern Cities Voyage: A Blend of History and Innovation
