Your boutique hotel at sea, the Azamara Quest® is a mid-sized ship with a deck plan that’s intimate but never crowded, and offers everything modern voyagers are looking for—plus some unexpected extras.
Across the fleet, our authentic service goes beyond the expectations of even the most well-traveled cruisers. Friendly and approachable, our staff are attentive, and happy to offer everything from poolside service to recommendations for your on-shore exploration. After all, we love sailing the world just as much as you do!
Re-imagined staterooms include modern amenities, furnishings, and European linens. Plus the ship features a large number of staterooms and suites with balconies, perfect for starting your day with fresh sea air and stunning views.
Add to all of that world-class dining options, spa experiences to relax and refresh, and all-new entertainment offerings, you’ve got an onboard experience that’s matched only by the immersive cultural encounters we’ve got in store on shore.
We have sailed with Azamara three times in the last five years, and each has been excellent! Our dining room server went over and above to make sure we had a great dining experience. We were so glad that they still have White Night with all of the crew parading their flags, the Captain and Officers speaking, and music for dancing! The Amazing Night had Four Sopranos who sang both classical and popular music and who could star on Broadway. Our veranda cabin was comfortable, and we had beautiful sunrises. The laundry room was a nice extra as well. The only slight disappointment was in some of the excursions. Buses spent hours on mountain roads rather than in the wonderful towns. The Intensive Italy voyage included not only the entire coastline of Italy proper, but also Sicily and Montenegro. It was easy to disembark as we gathered in the theater and left according to group number.
Azamara is our go-to cruise line as we enjoy cruising on a smaller ship and being able to get into ports that might otherwise not be available. What makes Azamara stand out for us is the crew. We talked to one crew member who mentioned that when he sailed for another cruise line, he was instructed not to engage with the passengers. That is not the case on Azamara as the crew is what makes the experience so much better. As many others have said, if you are after a never ending party, Azamara is not for you. We also like the fact that Azamara stays longer in ports and does overnights so that you can actually have time to visit a city. One disappointment was that we were scheduled to be in Bordeaux overnight and not depart until the following evening. For some reason, the decision was made to leave Bordeaux at 10:00 AM the second morning and proceed to Pauillac. To call Pauillac a port would be a vast overstatement. It was a dock and had none of the charm of Bordeaux. As you can see from the included picture, we were right in the center of Bordeaux. The food on the cruise was very good in both the main dining room and the buffet. Service in the main dining room could be very slow. It was not unusual to have a half hour wait between the starter and entree. We tended to dine early so it wasn't a case of the restaurant being crowded, service moved at a snails pace. Both the White Night Party and the Azamazing Evening were great. For the Azamazing Evening, we were bused back into Bilbao for a a very lively performance of Basque music and dance. If you do this cruise, my advice would be to skip the Discovery the Gastronomy of Galicia tour especially if you are there on a Monday. We thought what we signed up for given the tour description was a food tour where you got to sample various local specialties. What we got was the opportunity to walk through markets that were virtually closed on Monday and tour the city. We did have lunch at an excellent restaurant, but I would in no way consider this a food tour. We had requested through our travel agent several months before the cruise to disembark the ship a day early when it was in Porto. The process was very interesting as we were asked what time we planned to disembark as arrangements had to be made with Immigration. We were then escorted off the ship by an officer and met by a Portuguese Azamara representative that walked us through the immigration process. So my advice is if you plan to disembark before the cruise reaches its final destination that you clear it well in advance. We had no idea it would be as complex as it turned out to be. It was easy to get an Uber to get into Porto from Leixos with a cost of around 10 euros. Our V2 balcony cabin was fine with great storage. In our experience, Azamara does have the worse bathrooms at sea. But honestly, how much time are you going to spend in there.
This was an intensive Ireland Itinerary and it really delivered in terms of getting to a whole host of cities in Ireland. As we had on board credit, we did a lot of ship's tours and overall we were pleased with the experience. We normally book tours independent of the cruise line, but given we had "house money" we wanted to use it. Food was very good in both the main dining room and the buffet. Dinner in the main dining room could be very slow although it appeared there were enough staff waiting tables. Maybe the problem was in the kitchen with waits of a half hour between starter and entree being the rule rather than exception. The crew was great and always very engaging. We like the relaxed feel of the Azamara ships and are happy to forego some of the entertainment options found on big ships. Our favorite hangout is The Den that serves as a piano bar. We did have a couple of issues during the cruise. We normally take a balcony cabin, but opted for an ocean view this trip as there was only 1 sea day - big mistake. It appears that the ship must do some maintenance late at night as we were frequently awakened by noises emanating from above us. When we looked to see what was above us, it was the outside deck on level 5. It sounded as if hoses were being dragged across the floor. The other issue we had was getting all of our on board benefits properly credited. We asked about the missing money during the cruise, but didn't worry too much as we were going to be back to back on the ship so we had time. We initially thought the missing money was a credit from our travel agent and thus, would have been refundable. As it turned out, what was missing was $1000 from Azamara and therefore non-refundable. 4 days before the end of the second cruise, the money showed up. If you have been on Azamara, you know there isn't a lot of value to be had in their on board shops, but we were faced with either buying "something" or losing the $1000. We should never have been put in that position. The money should have been there from the beginning and we could have used it to upgrade our drink package or use spa services. With only 4 days to go, we did get in 1 spa session.

Azamara® accepts guests of any age*, but discourages families from sailing with children under 18 years of age, as the on board ambience and experience caters to adults and there are no activities for children or baby-sitting services available.
Please note: we have a medical centre on board which is staffed by a fully qualified doctor; however our doctors are not paediatricians. Guests must therefore bring on board an adequate supply of specific medications they need for all members of their family.
