Azamara, the upmarket cruise line and leader in Destination Immersion® experiences, is excited to announce that its entire fleet of four ships has officially returned to the high seas. The full fleet is welcoming guests onboard with country intensive itineraries, immersive land programs, and more overnights in each port, allowing travelers to fully immerse themselves in each destination.

Azamara Quest has become the first of its ships to depart from Peel Port (King George V Dock) in Glasgow. The fleet has been docked in the Scottish city for thirteen months.

Azamara Quest will offer five back-to-back country-intensive voyages and one classic Mediterranean sailing, each seven-days in length. Trips will begin from August 28th.

Orlando Ashford’s appointment follows his five-plus year role as president of Holland America Line where he successfully rejuvenated the brand.

The cruise line said the all cash deal with Sycamore Partners would allow it to focus on core operations after almost a year out of the water following the Covid-19 pandemic.

The move comes as the cruise giant continues to work with the United States Centres for Disease Control & Prevention and governments around the world toward a safe return to cruising.
