Once upon a time, and not so very long ago, an ocean liner was the only way to see the world. Well, here at Azamara^®, we believe it still is.

In the span of one vacation, you can journey to multiple destinations with no packing or unpacking...or leaving items behind in the process. You don’t have to worry about missing a connecting flight or extra transportation costs, let alone finding a parking spot. (And on Azamara’s smaller-sized ships, we can drop you off at the doorsteps of great cities like Nice, Seville, and Hong Kong.)

With the added convenience of “a floating hotel” that follows you all over the world, your accommodation costs are already covered. So you can spend more time enjoying your vacation, and a lot less time—and money—on figuring out where you’re going to stay. When you go cruising, not only do you have a variety of restaurants to choose from, but your meals are also included along the way (and on Azamara ships, your drinks are, too). 

And while planes, trains, and automobiles offer less than spacious seating and practically nothing to entertain you, on a cruise you’ll be able to unwind in between ports with a wide choice of complimentary activities, nightly shows, and enrichment programs, or enjoy a little “me time” with spa treatments and personal training sessions. Finally, at the end of the day, you can fall asleep in a wonderfully comfortable stateroom with all the amenities of a boutique hotel, complete with 24-hour room service, and then wake up in a new town or country...or even continent.

So really, when you think about it, the question shouldn’t be, “Why cruise?” but “Why not?”
