Scheduled to depart on January 5, 2027, from San Francisco aboard the Azamara Quest, this once-in-a-lifetime cruise will take passengers on an unforgettable voyage to 37 countries, 103 destinations and five continents.
This exceptional journey is a celebration of Azamara’s commitment to Destination Immersion® and Extended Destination Days, allowing travellers to connect deeply with the places they visit and immerse themselves in the local cultures.
A Route Like No Other
This 188-night world cruise will venture far and wide, offering a rich tapestry of destinations, from iconic metropolises to hidden gems that larger ships simply cannot access.
The Azamara Quest will begin its adventure in the bustling city of San Francisco before heading to the tropical shores of Hawaii, followed by a southward journey to the South Pacific.
Voyagers will experience the serene beauty of Polynesia with stops in Bora Bora, Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga and Fiji. Further exploration will include New Zealand, Tasmania and the southern coast of Australia, taking passengers to some of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders on the planet.
The journey will continue with a two-month exploration of Asia, where passengers will visit some of the continent’s most captivating countries, including Bali, Thailand, Vietnam, China and Japan.
The Azamara Quest will then cross the Pacific Ocean to Alaska before navigating the Panama Canal and circumnavigating North America. From the chilly shores of Alaska, the ship will proceed to St. John’s in Newfoundland, Canada, before embarking on a transatlantic voyage to Northern Europe.
Here, guests will have the opportunity to explore destinations such as Ireland, Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Sweden and more, before concluding the World Cruise in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 12, 2027.
A Commitment to Immersive Travel Experiences
Azamara Cruises is known for its unique ability to offer immersive travel experiences and the 2027 World Cruise will be no exception.
The cruise will feature a variety of exclusive cultural encounters, including Azamara’s signature AzAmazing Evenings, which offer guests access to private performances, cultural celebrations and unique local experiences.
The 2027 World Cruise will feature 12 of these exclusive events, carefully curated to provide travellers with authentic cultural insights into the destinations they visit.
What truly sets Azamara apart is its commitment to extended stays in port, allowing passengers more time to explore and absorb the local culture.
The 2027 World Cruise will offer 50 late-night stays and 15 overnights, giving guests the opportunity to truly immerse themselves in each destination without the rush of a typical cruise itinerary.
Azamara’s small-ship advantage ensures that guests will also be able to access smaller, less-visited ports that larger ships simply cannot reach, providing an added layer of exclusivity and discovery.
The Azamara Advantage: Intimate Small-Ship Experience and Inclusive Amenities
As with all Azamara voyages, the 2027 World Cruise will offer guests the chance to enjoy an intimate, hotel-at-sea experience aboard the Azamara Quest.
With a small-ship capacity, passengers can expect personalised service, exceptional attention to detail and a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere.
Azamara’s commitment to providing an outstanding onboard experience is evident in its inclusive amenities through the Always Azamara program. This program ensures that all guests enjoy a variety of dining venues, room service, drinks (including house wines and beers), gratuities and unlimited self-service laundry — all included in the cruise fare.
These inclusive perks extend beyond the ship’s amenities, as guests will also enjoy exclusive cultural events designed to enrich their travel experience.
The combination of immersive onshore activities and world-class service creates a seamless and memorable journey that passengers will cherish long after they return home.
Exclusive Benefits for World Cruise Guests
Booking the full 2027 World Cruise comes with several exclusive perks valued at more than $40,000 per stateroom.
These benefits include an $8,500 onboard credit, 15 exclusive events, unlimited wash-and-fold laundry, onboard medical consultations and pre-cruise benefits such as airfare credit, a one-night hotel stay, transfers and a $500 luggage shipping reimbursement.
Additionally, guests will enjoy unlimited Wi-Fi and complimentary Premium Beverage Package upgrades, ensuring a truly luxurious experience both on and off the ship.
A Voyage of a Lifetime
Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises, is thrilled with the itinerary for this milestone journey.
“For our 2027 World Cruise, we’ve created an incredible route that will bring our guests to the doorsteps of sought-after destinations around the world,” said Ritzenthaler.
“Imagine sailing as far south as Stewart Island, New Zealand, and as far north as Helsinki, Finland, all in one cruise. We are stopping to see the world’s most beautiful skylines and bridges.
“It will really be a remarkable, unforgettable journey — one that I hope our long-time friends and brand new friends will jump on!”
