AZAMARA has marked its long-awaited return to Australia, with Azamara Quest sailing into Fremantle today.
The ship’s crew and her Captain Johannes Tysse received a warm welcome from Director of Sales Victoria Chigwidden, as well as Azamara’s growing Australian shoreside team (pictured).
Chigwidden said Azamara’s local cruise season has seen very strong demand, with smaller ships continuing to be a popular choice for discerning cruisers.
“Quest will depart Fremantle on 21 Dec, beginning its 14-night country intensive voyage in Sydney, just in time to partake in the Emerald City’s renowned New Year’s Eve celebrations, and watch the fireworks light up the sky over Sydney Harbour,” she said.
It will be the first of three consecutive country intensive voyages for Quest, plying the waters from Melbourne to Sydney, before sailing along the Sapphire Coast to see humpback whales, golden beaches, crystal blue waters, and lush green forests.
Quest will then continue on to New Zealand’s jaw-dropping Milford Sound to marvel at the panoramic views of towering mountains and cascading waterfalls, followed by explorations of Dunedin, Akaroa, Wellington, and Marlborough.
Highlights of the season include encounters with the Tasmanian Devil, and visits to Australia’s lavender fields, sheep farms, and a remote island full of pearls.
On 19 Feb, Quest will bid farewell to Australia until next season, sailing from Fremantle to Asia and then back to Europe.
