with historic names like Yalta, Sevastopol, and Odessa.

Azamara is a welcoming experience. Friendly yet
not intrusive, the staff is exceptionally attentive and  quietly anticipates your needs and attention to detail. An Azamara voyage elevates dining service in ways you'll notice and appreciate, and their service extends onshore.   Request a Quote

AZAMARA CRUISES
a voyage for those who love travel. Azamara Club Cruises®, where the world is your oyster—and this oyster comes with internationally acclaimed ships ready to take you to some of the amazing destinations in the world. Our 686-guest club-like ships also take you to ports where larger ships won’t fit, like in the
heart of Marseille, Amalfi, and Crete, or even to the doorstep of Bangkok (while other large cruise lines dock a few hours away). And once you arrive, you’ll discover things in port you won’t find on other ships. Like night. Our focus on Destination Immersion® means we spend more time in ports than any other cruise line, which gives you more time to fully experience the culture, cuisine, scenery, and people of your destinations. And at the end of the day (or night), you can rest easy knowing you have award-winning accommodations to come back to.  And, no matter where we are in the world, you’ll always enjoy a host of unmatched inclusive amenities—such
as standard spirits, international beers and wines, gratuities, and an AzAmazing Evenings event—all with our compliments. You’ll also love the feeling of community you won’t find anywhere else, thanks to an attentive and genuinely friendly staff who know your name, tastes and preferences, and a crew who really like to mingle with guests, point
out special things at sea and onshore, and go above and beyond your expectations.

Simply put, we’re the voyage for those who love travel.  You'll love where we take you...and how. Not only will Azamara take you to the most celebrated destinations on Earth, but on our mid-size ships, you’ll also go to less-traveled ports, enjoy scenic rivers and waterways that are off-limits to big cruise lines, and sail to the doorstep of great cities like Seville, Hong Kong, and Bordeaux. It all adds up to a richer travel experience.

PAUL GAUGUIN CRUISES
means that you will experience the best there is.

You'll learn more about the area you’re visiting with presentations from local naturalists on every sailing and special guests, like Jean-Michel Cousteau, on select sailings, and enjoy opportunities to experience the world aquatic with complimentary watersports provided by the ship’s onboard marina or during visits to destination beaches. The Gauguin is one of the only luxury ship in French Polynesia to offer PADI SCUBA diving programs

SEABOURN At Seabourn, we are passionate about travel. We believe that traveling for pleasure has a redemptive power that enriches people’s lives. And we believe that people should travel well. Cruising on a Seabourn ship is unlike any other form of travel. The experience is luxurious, yet relaxed -- elegant, yet casual -- sumptuous, yet understated. Our intimate ships visit the most desirable destinations worldwide, sailing to the heart of landmark cities, as well as to hidden gems where larger vessels cannot follow.  Our ships attract interesting people, who seek to share experiences beyond the expected in places beyond the ordinary. Our acclaimed staff offers a unique style of heartfelt hospitality that is sincere, thoughtful and personal.

This is the Seabourn experience -- a style of cruising we pioneered when the company introduced Seabourn Pride, our first 208-guest, all-suite ship in 1988. At the time, a cruise expert stated that “Seabourn is in a class by itself,” and that is still true today. Our fleet of six graceful ships carry between 208 and 450 guests each, exclusively in ocean-view suites. They are graciously served by nearly the same number of hand-picked crew, who are consistently ranked as the finest at sea, earning Seabourn honors as the World’s Best Small Ship Cruise Line in surveys of readers by Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure

SILVERSEA'S SILVER SHIPS Why Silversea? Our 8 Intimate Luxury Boutique Ships can show you the world in a far more personal, meaningful way. They can glide into small, secluded harbours not yet on the radar screen. Or transport you on an expedition to some of the most remote regions of the globe. Then return at night to the gracious hospitality that reflects our Italian heritage. The lavish amenities of your private sanctuary at sea. And the relaxed, friendly camaraderie in the lounges and open bars where faces quickly become familiar and conversation strikes a common chord. Silversea voyages and cruise expeditions sail to over 800 destinations on all seven continents, more than any other cruise line — large or small. Our itineraries include many ports with late-night and overnight departures providing you with more time to experience the local colours and cultures.

Silversea is passionate about service and profoundly committed to maintaining the highest standards. Service that is richly personalised, genuine and caring, where every wish, every need is discretely anticipated and promptly delivered. With the experienced, highly trained personnel of a top luxury cruise line and a staff to guest ratio of nearly one to one, service excellence is guaranteed aboard the ships of Silversea.

All-Inclusive, Nothing Extra for your to enjoy the ease, convenience and value of an all-inclusive cruise fare that includes almost all of your discretionary onboard expenses such as gratuities, room service, and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages – those extra charges that can add up to so much more.

Global Flavours for Worldly Travellers and we're renowned for our culinary excellence and innovative spirit, Silversea’s luxury cruises offer a choice of open-seating dining options throughout the fleet, as well as several specialty venues aboard all non-expedition ships. In fact Silver Spirit has six restaurants to choose from; rather remarkable for a ship of her size. Daily changing menus present a wide range of offerings including Continental, vegetarian and CuislineLite™ selections, as well as regional specialities unique to the destination.

VIKING OCEANS all Verandah and Suite Ships offer the 'Ultimate Kind of Cruise'. Join us as we usher in a new era of ocean cruising by taking the innovative thinking behind our award-winning river cruises and bringing it to the epic setting of the sea. This cruise experience is the one our river cruise guests inspired us to create. We asked our guests for their feedback and crafted the ultimate kind of cruise - one focused on destinations. In 2015, the Viking Star sailed into the world, she will be joined by two equally elegant sister ships, Viking Sea and Viking Sky respectively in 2016 and 2017.

Every detail aboard our ships was designed to bring the cultural riches of the world to you in comfort, from private verandas for every stateroom so you can see more
on your journey, to the help of our onboard staff who can plan your perfect day. Of course, as with our river cruises, your cruise fare includes everything you need, from meals and beverages to shore excursions and Wi-Fi. Because unlike other cruise lines, we believe you shouldn’t have to open your wallet every time you want a coffee, a glass of wine or a visit ashore. Our beautifully designed staterooms offer the ultimate in comfort, decor and amenities.

We believe the best way to understand a country is through enrichment. On our cruises, you truly explore your destination - through its food, culture and customs. You can accompany the ship’s chef to a local market; or even view private collections at world-class museums.  We have a history of providing our guests with a way to get below the surface, not just "checking off" each port. That’s why our ocean cruises are centered around where you go, not just how you get there, with hand-picked itineraries so you can immerse yourself in history, music, art, cuisine - everything about your destination. In addition, we include excursions led by knowledgeable local guides in every port of call. You learn about the lands through which you travel via enriching lectures that bring history to life; through cultural adventures; in-depth pre-trip materials; and on-demand programming, all designed to help you experience the most from your travels.
