Azamara Journey Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Would do it again maybe on a Bigger Trip because of the Bad Seas and my older age

This was our fourth Azamara cruise and we are already looking for another one. We cannot fault the ship or crew. Absolutely perfect in every way. From the captain to the cabin boys everyone is efficient and friendly

Very enjoyable 10 day cruise - some ports worth revisiting - Dubai, Muscat, Abu Dhabi - enjoyed the entertainment and the gym and spa facilities - feel part of the Azamara family!

Fascinating itinerary and great fellow passengers. Azamara has great staff to keep us happy. We visited the Regent Ship for dinner with friends when they caught up to us in Dubai. They have a beautiful ship, seeing the contrast in their additional star rating was remarkable.

The ship and its crew were top notch! The weather was perfect and the ports were varied and beautiful. We have cruised over 30 times and this one ranks as one of the best.

Not a good shop if you have mobility problems rams on every door sill difficult to get a wheelchair over and the doors are very heavy you need help to open them

Azamara was a fantastic choice for a cruise. Would highly recommend this cruise line and this itinerary in the Mediterranean Region was especially enjoyable. The weather was perfect and we hope to cruise again!

Relaxed and refined.

Would do another one in the near future I like the idea of only 1 day at sea and calling into ports every day , food was great on boat staff were very good nothing was a problem

The trip was great, but the ship was too small. Our tour guide, Dana Olmstead was outstanding. We were constantly being harassed to upgrade out drink package.

Excellent, from working with Hayley who helped set up my trip through the complete trip I loved it. Really great educational and yet relaxing trip.inhad little time for rest on the tour days and enjoyed the sea days when they came. My one difficulty was WIFi. I feel it should be not as expensive and more readily available.

We enjoyed visiting this part of the world. Azamara made it doable as well as enjoyable. Their AmazingAzamara evening was a concert with full orchestra-lovely experience!

Any ship with cabins that small for two isnt a luxury ship, especially with such limited activities for those who werent golfers. If it had been stated that emphasis would be on golfing activities only, I might not have expected so much.

This cruise was one that was on our "bucket list" and it really covered our wishes. We saw so many sights that we have only dreamed of seeing. We crossed the Arctic Circle and received a Certificate of Accomplishment. The Captain, Johannes Tysse, was very funny and very approachable. He made the trip a wonderful experience.

Seven night itinerary from Lisbon. The excursions were great, very comfortable room (deluxe balcony ) , bar service very good , room attendant wonderful . Our favourite part of the ship was the the Living Room. Anton, the guitar player and soloist, was truly talented and we made sure to listen to him several times. We booked the Night in Private places with the room credit we received, and it was well worth it, Would love to do another cruise on Azamara.

We have sailed on Azamara three times... we obviously like it! We have never had any thing less than an excellent vacation on this cruise line. Starting with the Captain - He was always friendly and willing to stop and take a photo. He has a great sense of humor. We ran into the doctor in the library one night; he was a pleasure to speak with also. The wait staff, the bartenders, and the room stewards were always professional and appeared to remember each of us. It is so nice to be on a ship of this size even though it means you have a smaller pool and less entertainment choices. Having sailed on other larger cruise ships in the past I will always come back to the smaller midsized ships. No bands of rowdy teenagers running the halls and not a lot of small children taking over the pool. I love kids but I'm at an age where I like a little peace and quiet when I come back from shore excursions.

The food is very good but it is excellent in the specialty restaurants. The upcharge is minimal and well worth it. While at the Chef's Table dinner I had the best dessert in the whole world! It was like absorbing a lemon cloud! (I believe they called it a Limencello Souffle.)

We had a special send off because the sister ship Quest was in Barcelona at the same time. They left port together and there was a joint departure party on the decks of both ships. A fun way to start the trip!

The ports of call were fabulous. I must confess that we never book shore excursions through the cruise line because of the size of those groups. We prefer smaller groups catered to our specific desires. We were able to find wonderful private tours at all our stops. 

All in all, this was a wonderful trip. Cudos to Azamara! They do vacation right!

The Azamara provides a quality experience.  The ship is just the right size for us at 680 passengers (not too big, not too small).  The food was consistently excellent at all venues.  Open seating at dinner is much appreciated. The all-inclusive pricing is truly that and there was no pressure to spend more.  The staff could not be friendlier.  The captain made himself very visible and bid us a good tour each day and welcomed us back as we return.  Cruise Director, Eric De Grey, is a talented entertainer and a friendly, visible person during the cruise.  The entertainment staff , especially the 7-piece ship orchestra, is talented and energetic.  The special Azamazing Evening on shore is unique and wonderfully planned.  Azamara is an overall great cruise line for middle agers (no children-friendly facilities or events).

Great ship. Excellent service and entertainment. Eric De Gray, best cruise director ever. Highly recommend and look forward to taking another voyage with them in the future.

We greatly enjoyed our Azamara cruise. They went out of their way for it to be a festive time. The service was excellent, the food was good, and the itinerary had enough diversity of shore time and at sea.

Some of the features in the room were showing wear, which is surprising since they just did their major refurb. But, it did not diminish our enjoyment of the cruise.

Probably the favorite parts of the trip was the friendly and helpful staff and the wonderful ports of call. The Christmas evening entertainment was disappointing. There were beautiful voices on board and a program of Christmas carols and popular Christmas songs perhaps with some sing-alongs interspersed would have been more much appropriate than the tacky skit. Cruise Director Erik is very talented but he needs to slow his presentations (particularly intercom announcements) down so the older passengers can comprehend the information he is imparting. Lastly, we questioned the scheduling of the White Night party - why not have it during a night at sea rather than competing with shore excursions during a night in port?
