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.

Granada: Moorish Sighs in Andalusian Spain

More than 500 years have passed since the fall of the final caliphate in Andalusian Spain, but the Moorish influence still whispers down backstreets and echoes off tiled courtyards. You’ll see it in the city’s architecture and taste it in the local cuisine. You’ll hear it in the plucked-string sounds of Flamenco played in hidden corners.

Until the mid-8th century, the Umayyads ruled the Islamic empire, a swathe of territory that covered much of the modern-day Middle East as well as the Iberian Peninsula and North Africa. The Abbasids overthrew the Umayyads in 750 A.D., and the young Umayyad prince fled across the Straights of Gibraltar to form a new capital in exile at Cordoba, in southern Spain. This began the Moorish reign in Al-Andalus, the Arabic name for the Iberian terrain, a period of time marked by artistic excellence and scientific progress.

Delectable, Detestable Durian Fruit

As you browse the stalls of Ho Chi Minh City’s markets, you’ll find the sort of wares once whispered about by the merchant ship captains who plied the waters of the Far East. There are delicate balls of dried tea that, once dropped in hot water, unfold to reveal brilliant flowers. There are lacquered serving trays covered with gold leaf and wooden chopsticks inlaid with jade. There are, too, rows of fruit grown in the hot climates of Southeast Asia, spiked and oddly shaped, wild specimens of an exotic world.

Marseilles: Pétanque Captures the Spirit of Old Provence

Marseilles is undoubtedly a port city, with quays that stretch into the waters of the Mediterranean and fishing boats anchored in the harbor. Waterfront restaurants offer sea urchins fished from the depths and just-opened oysters still steeped in salty brine. Marseilles’ seaport is the product of far-flung worlds brought together, of shipping routes that date to the Phoenicians in the 6th century B.C.

Donghuamen Night Market Sizzles

The Dongcheng District of Beijing is well known for its historical sites such as Tiananmen Square and The Forbidden City. By day, these sites, seemingly frozen in time, attract tourists and sightseers from across the world. But as night falls, the streets around Dongcheng spring to life as vibrant street markets set up shop. The largest of these markets is the Donghuamen Night Market, where red and white stalls stretch down the darkened streets, illuminating the night with an inviting warm glow. As you approach the market you are greeted by the cacophony of droves of competing merchants, each loudly promoting the delicacies on sale at their individual booths.
