The Joy Of An Azamara Cruise Is Beyond Compare
I bet you have never even heard about an Azamara Cruise. If you agree then read on. It is definitely a voyage beyond compare. You not only can choose between exotic destinations such as Europe, in the eastern and western Mediterranean, Asia, the Caribbean, Bermuda, the Panama Canal, and the South Americas, you can also choose the period of the cruise. Here are the details.

The starting points for a cruise to the Caribbean or Panama Canal are US ports that include Miami, Los Angeles, and San Diego. Those meant for European destinations are Venice, Civitavecchia, Athens, and Barcelona. Azamara cruises destined for Asian ports start either from Singapore or Hong Kong. You even have a transatlantic cruise that begins in Athens and ends in Singapore.

The Asian cruise covers exotic locations such as Bangkok, Vung Tao, Puson, and Kyoto. The one to Europe covers among many others besides Bari, Barcelona, Taormina, Sicily, Sete, St. Petersburg, Santorini, Malta, and even Alexandria. That to the Caribbean includes stopovers at Cabrits, Gustavia, Samana, and Virgin Gorda, among many other ports.

The Panama Canal cruise stops at Santa Marta, Cartagena, Puerto Limon, and San Juan Del Sur, besides the exploration of the famous Gatun Locks. The South American cruise explores Buenos Aires, Patagonia, the Lake District, Osorno, and Sip, all of the three in Chile. If you want, you can opt to round the Cape of Horn and continue towards Antarctica. During the Bermuda cruise, you can explore the Crystal Caves and sample the local Bermuda delicacies, or delight in a dolphin adventure.

But the real enjoyment of an Azamara cruise I reckon comes during the journey itself in the ship. An Azamara cruise is one in a super luxury mini ship. The cruise is operated by Celebrity Cruises, Inc., which also additionally operates another one in its own name too.

You can choose between two ships, the Azamara Quest and the Azamara Journey. Each can carry 710 guests besides 390 crew members. Each has 355 richly upholstered double-occupancy staterooms with complimentary personal butler service. You obtain a daily surprise under your pillow every morning, besides a daily complimentary fruit basket in your stateroom.

You can enjoy the fantastic catering services onboard the two specialty restaurants. And if you care to stay fit, the ship offers you a choice of Yoga, Pilates, and a world-class wellness and spa center combined together. For corporate guests, there are the facilities of renowned expert lectures on topics as diverse as music, business, culture, and financial advice on investments.

All in all you are pampered royally aboard an Azamara cruise on any of its seven guest decks. And when you want solitude and nearness to nature, you can afford to spend your time alone in your suite with the glass only separating the ocean from you. If you so want you can choose to sample the drinks in the well stocked Bar of the ship or play the piano in a quiet corner.

Of course, such luxury does not come cheap. The Azamara cruise charges begin from several thousand dollars each trip per person. But what is a once-in a-lifetime splurge if you get such heavenly enjoyment.
