Azamara Announces 188-Night 2027 World Cruise – Cruise Industry News

Azamara has unveiled its biggest World Cruise yet, sailing for 188 nights in 2027.

The world voyage will visit 103 destinations across 37 countries and five continents on the Quest.

Key ports of call include the cities of San Francisco, Miami and San Diego, as well as Tokyo, Singapore, Auckland, Sydney and Hong Kong. 

“For our 2027 World Cruise, we’ve created an incredible route that will bring our guests to the doorsteps of sought-after destinations around the world,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises.

“Imagine sailing as far south as Stewart Island, New Zealand, and as far north as Helsinki, Finland, all in one cruise. We are stopping to see the world’s most beautiful skylines & bridges. It will really be a remarkable, unforgettable journey – one that I hope our long-time friends and brand-new friends will jump on!”

Available in shorter segments, the journey departs from San Francisco, California on January 7.

Travelers will explore Pacific islands and French Polynesia with stops in Oahu, Maui and Bora Bora, before setting course for New Zealand and Australia.

The itinerary will then take guests to discover Asia featuring cities like Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Seoul and Kobe. Key destinations also include New York, London and Halifax, among others.

The full itinerary ends with a Northern Europe and Baltic segment, sailing to Amsterdam, Berlin, Gdansk, Helsinki and Stockholm. Guests will disembark in Copenhagen on July 12, 2027. 

Highlights:

• Longer days in port and more overnight stays – the 2027 World Cruise will feature 50 late-night stays and 15 overnights;
• Authentic cultural encounters through exceptional shore excursions and Azamara’s signature AzAmazing Evenings – the 2027 World Cruise will feature 12 exclusive AzAmazing Evenings;
• The small-ship advantage of accessing smaller ports and hidden gems that larger ships cannot reach such as transiting the Kiel Canal in Germany or cruising into the heart of Shanghai to dock right at The Bund;
• Inclusive amenities that provide added value through Always Azamara encompassing a variety of dining venues, room service, drinks (including house wines and beers) all day and night, gratuities, exclusive cultural events, and unlimited self-service laundry.
