Azamara has unveiled 84 Europe itineraries across its four-ship fleet for 2024. Of the 84 new itineraries, 53 are Country Intensive voyages with over 50% of port calls being a late night or overnight, allowing guests ample time to dive deeper into the local culture and hidden gems of an individual country. On September 9, the cruise line will also launch a brand-new video series, ‘Lens of a Local,’ allowing guests to get an exclusive look into the immersive excursions that can be experienced from a local’s perspective on an Azamara voyage.
“Our Country Intensive voyages have continually proven to be a guest favourite with increased bookings throughout 2022, so we are pleased to offer even more options for our guests to discover all these incredible European countries have to offer,” says Carol Cabezas, President of Azamara. “With unique new ports and plenty of late stays and overnights, we encourage guests to explore each destination at their own pace and travel off the beaten path, and our new ‘Lens of a Local’ video series can help our guests get immersed even before they board the ship.”
‘Lens of a Local’ is designed to ‘Change the Way you Sea,’ allowing travellers to dive even deeper into some of the destinations included in Azamara’s 2024 European sailings. This exclusive series tells the stories of local artisans around the globe, providing unique insight into their traditions and crafts which Azamara guests can partake in through the cruise line’s immersive shore excursions. The video series will inspire guests with unique shore experiences both prior to sailing and following their travels to relive the memories after returning home. ‘Lens of a Local’ will feature firsthand accounts from a gondolier in Venice, Greek dancers in Crete, and a perfumer in Florence, to name a few, and will debut on Azamara’s social channels with the first three episodes to be released on September 9, September 23, and October 7.
