Azamara has built its entire philosophy around longer stays in port, allowing travelers to go beyond the typical day visit and truly immerse themselves in local life. With more late nights and overnight stays than almost any other cruise line, Azamara gives you the chance to see, taste, and feel the world on your own schedule.

See the World, Unhurried

Traditional cruises often leave port by sunset — just when a city begins to come alive. Azamara changes that rhythm. With extended stays, you can savor a leisurely dinner by the waterfront, explore vibrant night markets, or attend a local performance under the stars. Whether it’s a moonlit stroll through Dubrovnik’s Old Town or a glass of wine on a terrace in Santorini, the magic of travel unfolds when you have time to truly linger.

Wake Up in the Heart of the Action

Azamara’s smaller, boutique-style ships dock closer to the center of each destination, meaning you can step right off the ship and start exploring — no long transfers or rush to get back onboard. When you wake up to the sound of the city around you, every day feels like an adventure waiting to happen. It’s travel that’s both relaxed and deeply personal.

A More Authentic Way to Travel

By giving guests extra time ashore, Azamara opens the door to authentic connections — sharing a meal with locals, discovering hidden gems, or simply watching daily life unfold. These moments, made possible by Azamara’s extended itineraries, turn a voyage into something far more meaningful than a checklist of ports.
