Azamara, the boutique cruise line describing itself as dedicated to Destination Immersion experiences, said it will offer 22 European itineraries and three new land explorations for the brand’s fourth ship, Azamara Onward. 

“Scheduled to set sail in spring 2022 for its inaugural season, Azamara will offer guests the opportunity to join Azamara Onward’s maiden and christening voyage, starting in Monte Carlo and concluding in Venice,” the company said in a statement.

Azamara Onward, which is a sister ship of the three existing vessels of the company,  will push forward the future of Destination Immersion experiences with half of its voyages being Country-Intensive℠ itineraries, allowing more time to explore a single country’s hidden gems, and 85 late nights and 21 overnight stays in multiple cities across Europe, the company said.

 “We are thrilled to introduce our fourth ship to our guests and travel partners next year and welcome them to join us for the christening of Azamara Onward on her maiden voyage,” says Azamara President, Carol Cabezas. “As the leader in Destination Immersion, we look forward to connecting our guests with people and cultures of the world and bringing guests to smaller, unique ports which are only accessible to smaller ships.”

The ship’s inaugural deployment will unveil a series of voyages ranging from seven to 15 nights, covering the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, the company said.
