Azamara Quest provides authentic service, destination-inspired programs, and an intimate, boutique hotel atmosphere. Azamara's signature AzAmazing Evening events deliver exclusive and immersive onshore experiences, while onboard, Quest offers cabaret-style entertainment that includes three unique musical shows. A Million Dreams pays tribute to classic love songs, featuring music by Whitney Houston, Adele, Bruno Mars, and Elvis. The Night Spot highlights gathering places around the globe, including a Las Vegas lounge and a swanky cigar bar, with music by favorites such as Cher, Frank Sinatra, The Beatles, and Billy Joel. The trio of performances is rounded out by His Song — The Music of Elton John. The ship's Cabaret Lounge also transforms into 54 Below at Sea for a special Broadway experience.

This beloved R-class cruise ship, which originally sailed for Renaissance Cruises,  also offers plenty of opportunities for learning and enrichment, including line-dancing classes, expert talks on a multitude of regional topics, and port-of-call lectures that offer travelers insights into the destinations they're visiting. The ship also features the luxurious Sanctum Spa, which has a fitness center, thalassotherapy pool, and dedicated space for acupuncture treatments. In addition to its outdoor pool area, which includes two whirlpools, an open-air bar, and tennis tables, Quest also has a jogging and power-walking track, and an on-deck game area.

Azamara Quest was refurbished in 2019 and now boasts an updated gift shop, six additional oceanview cabins, and The Den, a sophisticated lounge with comfortable seating, live music, and a concierge desk where destination experts help cruisers optimize their time onshore.

Azamara Quest itineraries and departure ports

From 3-night weekend getaways to epic 24-night itineraries, Azamara Quest offers a variety of country-intensive voyages designed to let travelers immerse themselves in the culture and spirit of their destination. Quest departs from ports worldwide and sails to a multitude of exciting global locales, including Africa, Asia, South America, Europe, and the Caribbean.

This ship is best for: Like the other ships in Azamara's fleet, Quest's small size gives it access to ports that larger ships can't reach, making it the ideal ship for travelers seeking unique itineraries with bucket-list destinations. Many of the vessel's onboard activities are designed to complement ports of call for a truly immersive experience.

You should know: Azamara Quest was designed with mature travelers in mind. With no dedicated children's program and few activities to attract the under-18 crowd, this ship won't appeal to families or multigenerational groups that include young children.

Activities on Azamara Quest

From the Cabaret Lounge where cruisers enjoy vibrant musical stage performances to The Drawing Room, a tranquil onboard library, Azamara Quest has a variety of comfortable gathering places. Cruisers can find conversation and cocktails at Discoveries Lounge, while the Mosaic Cafe is the ideal place to people-watch over a cup of espresso.

For relaxation, take a dip in Sanctum Spa's saltwater thalassotherapy pool or try a rejuvenating acupuncture treatment. The ship also offers a fresh-air game area for cruisers who prefer to relax with a shuffleboard tournament and a dedicated sun deck for soaking in the rays. Travelers who appreciate learning experiences should enjoy the wealth of onboard enrichment opportunities, which include cooking demonstrations, wine tasting, and lectures on a variety of globally relevant topics.

Taste of South America by Happycruiser12

Sail date: / Traveled as: Couple
Ship: Azamara Quest

Buenos Aires is a fantastic city with interesting neighborhoods and activities like tango dinners. Montevideo and Punta del Este are both interesting and walkable. There is a small, private "Museum of the Andes" in Montevideo that commemorates the 1972 plane crash of the Uruguayan Rugby Team that is very interesting. Rio de Janeiro is another story. We were there during Carnival so it was very crowded. The traffic was often at a standstill for hours due to throngs of people crowding the streets. Two of our tours were canceled with no prior notification, so we had to rely on Uber to get to the main sites. Carnival is definitely not a time to see the major city attractions as there are thousands of people waiting in line for these. The Sambadrome parades are a must with their colorful, intricate dance troops and floats, but be prepared for uncomfortable concrete bleachers, crowded conditions, and lots of body odor. Take your own water, snacks, and toilet paper.

Best cruise we have been on mainly because of the ports. Like the small ship and the staff are extremely friendly and always wanting to help.

Listen to the daily forecast and dress appropriately. Take your sunscreen and a bottle of water with you whenever you leave the ship. Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. It is available up to the point you board the bus. Let staff know of your needs in advance of going ashore.

It is hot and humid in most of these ports. Be sure to plan for this. Bring a hat and sunscreen. The tours and ship provide water. The information given about what to wear to visit the temples was conflicting. Be prepared with clothes to cover your shoulders and legs.
