Azamara
Destination Immersion
Situated in the far south of the Dalmatia region, this Croatian port was thought to have been settled in the 7th century CE, however, recent evidence points to an even earlier founding. No matter its age, this city is as rich with history as its famed walls are thick.
Traditional tiramisù is an Italian dessert similar to a parfait. It consists of Italian savoiardi or ladyfingers soaked in espresso and liquor and layered with a mascarpone and zabaglione cheese mixture. The final layer is often topped with cocoa powder, a bitter counterpoint to the sweetness of the ladyfingers and the lightness of the filling. The layered dessert is featured on Italian menus across the United States, though its history is difficult to pinpoint.
On September 17, 2010, Azamara Quest® departed Kotor, Montenegro, leaving behind a reinvigorated tradition that dates back to 1452. According to local legend, 558 years ago a group of fisherman found an icon of Jesus and the Virgin Mary on what was at the time a small rock, and began placing stones on the rock for good luck when leaving harbor. As the tradition grew, so did the island. Rock-filled ships were sunk, stones were constantly placed and it eventually became the only man-made island in the Adriatic.
