Guests aboard can enjoy a suite of inclusive amenities such as complimentary red and white boutique wines to accompany lunch and dinner, English Butler service for suite guests, and the recently-launched AzAmazing Evening – an immersive complimentary destination event ashore featured on every voyage event on every voyage. Azamara specializes in what it calls Destination ImmersionSM, meaning longer stays, more overnights and night touring in ports of call. No other cruise line spends as much time in port, allowing Azamara guests a richer stay in the destinations, enjoying things like live music, theater and restaurants, and clubs that light up after dark. Most of all, with one staff member for every two guests, Azamara's personal service is unparalleled.
