Azamara Cruises will introduce its newest ship, Azamara Onward, next month with an official christening ceremony and a maiden voyage from Monte Carlo (Monaco) to Venice (Marghera, Italy).
The naming ceremony will be held on May 2, 2022, in Monte Carlo, and will be followed by an 11-night voyage to Venice. Beth Santos, Founder & CEO of the global community and lifestyle Wanderful, will serve as the godmother.
The inaugural season of Azamara Onward will take guests to the Mediterranean, bringing them closer to the culture of each destination. The ship's 2022 schedule includes itineraries in the Adriatic Sea (7-8-night roundtrips from Venice and between Venice-Athens), Greece and Greek isles (7-night roundtrips from Piraeus-Athens), Black Sea (11-night roundtrips from Istanbul Turkey), 10-night voyages between Istanbul and Athens, as well as 8-15-night voyages between homeports Barcelona - Civitavecchia/Rome - Piraeus/Athens.
The new sistership will offer fresh additions to her onboard venues and luxury retail spots, as well as new entertainment options and refreshed accommodations for passengers to enjoy throughout their voyage.
Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara, said that was an exciting time for Azamara, and they were thrilled to be welcoming guests on their new ship in just a couple of weeks.
“Destination immersion has always been our main priority, and we are delighted to be bringing inspiration from the Mediterranean and beyond to all our onboard offerings and experiences for guests to connect with the culture of each port, even while we are at sea.”
