Azamara announces summer 2026 deployment

Azamara Cruises has unveiled its 2026 summer sailings, featuring 77 new itineraries that will take guests to captivating destinations, iconic landmarks and ports of call that delight and inspire.

Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest and Azamara Onward will all spend the summer season in Europe, spanning the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, including extended time in Greece, Ireland, the British Isles and more.

Standouts amongst the new itineraries include three solar eclipse cruises taking place in August 2026, offering guests a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to view the spectacular natural phenomenon from sea.

“At Azamara Cruises, we’re always striving to deliver new and incredible experiences for our guests,” said Michael Pawlus, head of itinerary planning at Azamara Cruises. “The rare opportunity to include solar eclipse sailings in 2026 is very exciting and we are thrilled to deliver such a unique offering.”

Five extra maiden ports

Also, Azamara Cruises will add five maiden ports to the European line-up in 2026 – which are only accessible to smaller ships – and the debut of new pre– and post–land programs. These ports include Sarande, Albania ; Fredericia, Denmark; Turku, Finland; Menton, France; and Karlskrona, Sweden.

These sailings will continue to offer more late nights and overnights than any other cruise line, ensuring Azamara guests have the time to truly discover the culture and communities of these extraordinary destinations, without feeling rushed.

“Europe continues to be a leading destination for us globally, so we are delighted to be announcing one of our biggest European deployments to date,” continued Pawlus. “With three ships in the region from March to October 2026, we can offer our guests more options than ever before; taking them to ports less traveled and hidden gem destinations and delivering new immersive land experiences for the very first time.”

Azamara guests can take advantage of an Early Booking Bonus, receiving 20% off on all summer 2026 cruises booked before Oct.  31, 20204.

In the summer of 2026, Azamara Pursuit will embark on an exciting new itinerary that will see Azamara Cruises visit one of the world’s top bucket-list destinations, renowned for its natural beauty and diverse range of wildlife.

A further announcement will follow with more details in the coming weeks.
