Sarah Bretz, ContributorAzamara Cruises has announced a new promotion that gives travelers $500 in onboard credit as well as the choice between free wifi and a Premium Beverage Package for those staying in a balcony cabin or suite. The Hidden Gems Sale is available on select sailings booked between August 22nd and October 30th.
Travelers can take advantage of the onboard credit to take some of Azamara’s curated shore excursions, each thoughtfully designed to forge connections with the destinations. The cruise line’s Extended Destination Days provide 10 or more hours in port, offering plenty of time to explore historical sites, discover local cultures, or relax on beautiful beaches.
