Azamara will return to cruising in Greece, beginning Aug. 28, 2021. The line’s first ship back in the region will be Azamara Quest, with five back-to-back Country-Intensive Voyages and one classic Mediterranean sailing. Each voyage will be seven days and feature late-night stays in ports including Santorini, Rhodes and Heraklion.

“Over the past year, our team — ship to shoreside — continued to connect with our guests and travel partners,” said Carol Cabezas, president of Azamara, in a press release. “Our biggest takeaway is the desire that everyone has to sail again, and we are excited to share that we can finally make this dream come true. There’s no better way to return to service than in a country Azamara knows best: Greece. Our return to sail wouldn’t be possible without the support from Honorable Minister Harry Theoharis, the local government and port authorities, and we are extremely grateful for [them] welcoming us back into this beautiful and culturally rich destination.”

All guests and crew will be required to have COVID-19 vaccinations no later than 14-days prior to departure in order to sail. Cruises onboard Azamara Journey and Azamara Pursuit remain suspended until September 2021.

“We're looking forward to welcoming Azamara and its guests in Greece in August," said Theoharis, in the release. "We fully support the line's return to cruising in the Aegean waters, and we are sure that all of its passengers will have unique experiences in our beautiful destinations.”

Additional itinerary highlights in Greece include Santorini, Delos and Mykonos, as well as Limassol in Cyprus.

Voyages open for booking on May 11, 2021.
