Azamara is offering 22 European itineraries and three land explorations for the inugural season of its fourth ship, Azamara Onward.

Azamara Onward’s maiden and christening voyage is due to sail from Monte Carlo to Venice in spring 2022.

Half of its voyages will be the brand’s ‘Country-Intensive’ itineraries, which allow more time on land. The programme includes 85 ‘late nights’ and 21 overnight stays across Europe.

“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,” said the line’s 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.”

Onward’s inaugural deployment will also feature a series of ‘exotic voyages’, ranging from seven- to 15-nights in duration, and visiting destinations including the Black Sea and Odesssa in the Ukraine.

Land tours include four-night pre-cruise trip, Wonderous Cappadocia, in Turkey, a two-night Stay Local in Istanbul and five-night pre or post-cruise Mythological Greece trip taking in archaeological sites in Athens, Olympia, Delphi, and Cape Sounion, including the Acropolis and the Sanctuary of Delphi.

Azamara is offering all guests who book Onward a complimentary Experience More Essentials Package, which includes a $300 Shore Excursion Onboard Credit, unlimited Wi-Fi for one device, and a Premium Beverage Package for two on select staterooms and suites when booked by July 16, 2021.

Guests can change to any sailing through to April 30, 2022 if they book by July 31, 2021, under Azamara’s Cruise with Confidence programme.
