Azamara Cruises has unveiled its winter 2026-2027 deployment featuring 66 new cruises and eight Grand Voyages across 20 countries and five continents.
The cruise line will offer winter sailings in Europe for the first time, responding to increasing winter travel demand. These itineraries include double-overnight stays in Seville, Spain and sailing up the Guadalquivir River.
"For the first time ever, we are pleased to offer cruises to Europe during the wintertime so guests can delight in beloved destinations without peak-season crowds and during cooler weather," said Michael Pawlus, head of itinerary planning at Azamara.
The brand's signature destination immersion will be high on the list of experiences available during these typically off-season times, extending to local culture, music, dance, performing arts and cuisine right onboard, according to Meg Lee, chief marketing officer for Azamara.
"We will have iconic AzAmazing Evenings on many of the voyages throughout the season," said Lee. What they will entail exactly will be revealed at a later date as departure dates get closer.
The deployment also marks Azamara's return to China. Itineraries will include visits to the Great Wall and Shanghai, where the line's small ships can sail directly into the core of the city.
The eight Grand Voyages, spanning 35+ nights, will connect multiple continents with routes including Canada to Australia, Australia to Japan, Canada to Japan and Buenos Aires to Miami.
"Our Grand Voyages, with extended itineraries and in-depth exploration, allow travelers to truly connect with each destination while enjoying the signature Azamara experience," Pawlus said.
The cruise line is offering an Early Booking Bonus of 20% off cruise fares. Veranda cabin and Suite bookings include an Experience More Essentials Package with $300 onboard credit, Wi-Fi and a Premium Beverage Package for two.
