I’ve noticed that ultra-luxury lines such as Seabourn and Silversea along with some premium/deluxe lines such as Holland America and Princess have been promoting their 2012 World Cruises. As a result, I’ve received a few questions asking if Azamara might offer a world cruise in the future. I believe that’s it’s really too soon to consider doing so since we are still in our product introductory phase. Most of you realize that this past April (15 months ago!) we celebrated the first anniversary of the relaunch of Azamara Cruises to Azamara Club Cruises.
If you’re willing to ‘think-out-of-the box’ (sorry for using this overused phrase) we already do offer our own unique and unstructured version of the World Cruise experience through our Azamara Club Cruises’ Extended Voyages program, which provides you the opportunity to seamlessly join two, three, four or more consecutive voyages into one incredible regionally immersive experience. It’s your opportunity to enjoy a collection of what I would call – “World Cruise Samplers” which will give you the flexibility to vacation “as you like it” with respect to “when” and “where.”

If you’re an up-market traveler driven by acute wanderlust, Azamara Club Cruises is throwing open the doors to the world and inviting you to combine two, three, four or more consecutive voyages into one incredible regionally immersive experience. With Azamara Quest or Azamara Journey sailing in the Far East, the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, or South America, travelers simply need to pick a season before embarking on a voyage of a lifetime, ranging from 11-to 78-nights without repeated ports of call.
Our exclusive “Wanderlust” cure is simple and it’s called – “Azamara’s Extended Voyages 2011-2012.” It offers travelers with more discretionary time the opportunity to stay in port longer and enjoy more overnights in more captivating destinations. You already understand that to truly experience a destination in a unique way there is only one way to do it – stay longer. The benefits of an extended voyage will expose you to new destinations and allow you to see the world with new eyes. With Azamara’s Extended Voyages you can enjoy the distinct customs of cultures around the world as you combine up to seven different voyages into a single extended holiday.
