Azamara Cruises relaunches Azamara Ashore 

Azamara Cruises is reintroducing its Azamara Ashore land programs, extending the spirit of Destination Immersion beyond the port and offering immersive land experiences that allow guests to journey further before and after their cruise.

Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises, said that:  “At Azamara, every journey is designed to be more than a passing visit, it’s an opportunity to truly connect with the places visited and the people who call them home.”

Ritzenthaler continued: “The relaunch of Azamara Ashore is a direct response to what guests have been asking for, deeper, more immersive experiences that allow them to spend more time in each destination and engage with it in a more natural, unhurried way.”

Azamara is launching 17 new pre- and post-cruise land programs between 2026 and 2028 – six of which are brand new for 2026 – bringing the total to 84 core programs across Africa, Oceania, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

Each of these programs is specially curated for Azamara, with 37 being fully unique and exclusive to the brand.

Guests can choose from seamless Hotel Stays that simplify arrivals and departures with optional transfers and logistics handled end to end; immersive City Stays that offer two-night cultural discoveries in every turn port globally, and extended AzAmazing Journeys, which provide 3–6 nights of deeper exploration in bucket-list destinations through local cuisine, cultural connection, and immersive experiences ashore.
