The Story

Azamara Onward brings the intimate, destination-focused experience that Azamara is known for to ocean cruisers seeking something beyond the mega-ship experience. Built in 1999 as part of the elegant Renaissance class, this 30,312-ton vessel was welcomed into the Azamara fleet as its fourth ship, carrying forward the cruise line's commitment to longer port stays and immersive cultural experiences.

With a capacity of just 804 passengers, Azamara Onward offers the kind of personalized service and relaxed atmosphere that's hard to find on larger ships. The smaller size also means access to ports that bigger vessels simply can't reach, opening up hidden gems throughout the Mediterranean and other sought-after regions. The ship features refined dining venues, comfortable staterooms, and public spaces designed for socializing and taking in ocean views. The R-Class design strikes a perfect balance between intimate and spacious, giving guests room to spread out without feeling lost in endless corridors.

The ship's itineraries focus heavily on the Mediterranean, with popular departures from Piraeus-Athens, Barcelona, and Civitavecchia-Rome. These sailings typically emphasize the destination over the ship itself, with late-night stays and overnight port visits that let you experience each place like a traveler rather than a tourist. This approach appeals to culturally curious cruisers who want to dig deeper into each destination, enjoy local cuisine ashore, and return to a comfortable floating hotel each evening.

With 62 upcoming sailings starting from $1,499, Azamara Onward offers plenty of opportunities to experience this style of ocean cruising. Browse the available itineraries to find the Mediterranean adventure that matches your travel dreams.
