OUR AMAZING 5-STAR LUXURY SMALL SHIP… THE AZAMARA QUEST
The Azamara Quest is a considered a small sized passenger cruise ship with a capacity of around 675 passengers and 408 crew members, with a 1:2 staff-to-guest ratio, providing extraordinary service to its passengers... This small ship feels more like a large yacht vs. a cruise ship, with only 675 passengers. Azamara cruises are known for their destination-focused itineraries that spend more time at ports and allow access to smaller, off-the-beaten-path ports. After its 2016 renovation, this luxury 5-star ship offers a classic yet contemporary design and features culturally inspired entertainment, enrichment programs, a world class spa, fitness center, and dining options, including the open-seating Discoveries Restaurant. Guests can enjoy complimentary Azamara Amazing Evenings, which offer cultural off-ship events, making it ideal for travelers seeking a more intimate and immersive experience in the ports of call.
