Sarah Bretz, ContributorAzamara Cruises has announced its winter 2026-2027 schedule, which will include 66 new cruises and eight Grand Voyages. And, for the first time, the line will be offering voyages in Europe in the wintertime.
“We are thrilled to announce our winter 2026-2027 cruises, which mark an exciting chapter in Azamara’s commitment to bringing our guests to the world,” said Michael Pawlus, Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara. “For the first time ever, we are pleased to offer cruises to Europe during the wintertime so guests can delight in beloved destinations without peak-season crowds and during cooler weather. Additionally, we are thrilled to return to China with its rich culture and history. These sailings offer an unparalleled opportunity to explore the world in a more meaningful way.”
Winter Europe Cruises
With winter travel on the rise, Azamara is meeting the growing demand by offering passengers the opportunity to explore Europe during the winter months. The voyages will take place on the line’s ship Azamara Onward. One favorite guest experience is sailing up the Guadalquivir River to Seville, Spain (which can only be experienced by small ships), and docking in the city center for a double-overnight stay within walking distance of three UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Wintertime cruises allow for easier admittance to museums, landmarks, and local markets by avoiding the summertime crowds and providing guests with more intimate access to iconic landmarks and cultural experiences.
Azamara Returns to China
Travelers will be able to experience the rich culture and history of China as Azamara Cruises returns to the destination. From walking on the 2,000-year-old ancient stones of the Great Wall to savoring freshly prepared Dim Sum in Shanghai, guests will immerse themselves in the heart and soul of East Asia.
Additionally, Azamara’s small-sized ship offers the ability of sailing into the heart of Shanghai, providing an intimate look at the incredible destination.
Grand Voyages
For the winter 2026-2027 season, Azamara will be offering eight Grand Voyages. These sailings are 35 nights or longer, spanning multiple continents. Grand Voyages offer opportunities for in-depth exploration both on and off the ship. Guests are able to enjoy Extended Destination Days, exclusive AzAmazing Evenings, and more.
The Grand Voyages span a variety of continents and destinations including Canada to Australia, Australia to Japan, Canada to Japan, Buenos Aires to Miami, and more.
Early Booking Bonus
Those who book their cruise early can take advantage of an Early Booking Bonus of 20 percent off their cruise fare. Guests who book a veranda cabin or site will receive a complimentary Experience More Essentials Package, which includes $300 in onboard credit, free wifi, and a Premium Beverage Package for two.
