Azamara Cruises has announced Azamara Onward will undergo a two-week drydock in early November 2027 as part of Azamara Forward, the line's ongoing fleetwide renovation program. The ship's first sailing post-renovation is set for November 25, 2027 — a seven-night Italy Intensive cruise from Athens to Rome.
Planned upgrades include a transformation of onboard nightlife venues, a newly dedicated Chef's Table experience, a reimagined Discoveries Restaurant, a recrafted Atlas Bar, a revamped Cabaret Lounge, refreshed staterooms and suites and updated public spaces throughout the ship. The Penthouse Deck, which will be exclusive to Azamara Quest, is not part of Onward's scope of work.
After returning to service, Onward will resume Mediterranean sailings before repositioning to the Caribbean later in the season.
The announcement follows news of the Azamara Forward debut onboard Azamara Quest, slated to launch December 18 with all-new suites, culinary programming and updated amenities. Azamara Onward's drydock is the second confirmed under the program, with renovation schedules for Azamara Journey and Azamara Pursuit still to be released.
