AZAMARA has announced its new AzAmazing Evenings for next year, with the program to expand with 35 new experiences.
Nearly every cruise of nine nights or longer features one complimentary AzAmazing Evening ashore, bringing guests closer to local culture.
Guests sailing on seven- and eight-night cruises will enjoy a version of this extraordinary evening on board, with exceptions on select transoceanic crossings or charters.
Highlights of the new AzAmazing Evenings for next year will include ‘Viva la Costa: Ecuadorian Rhythms Under the Glass Domes’ in Guayaquil, which will see passengers enjoy an evening at the city’s restored Palacio de Cristal.
The night culminates with a performance by Orquesta de Mates y Bambues Macolla, a Guayaquil-based ensemble that fuses indigenous craftsmanship and musical heritage using instruments made from mate gourds and bamboo, accompanied by coastal dancers showcasing Ecuador’s vibrant rhythms and cultural pride.
Meanwhile, the ‘Traditions of Hiroshima: An Evening of Kagura, Myth & Dance’ will treat guests to a unique glimpse at the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima, which begins with a sake barrel opening ceremony, followed by a show featuring the dramatic Yamata-no-Orochi myth, and the Mihara Yassa Festival Dance.
There is also the ‘Faces of Tradition: Dance, Acrobatics & Magic at Shanghai Centre’ (pictured), an evening that starts with cocktails and a meet-and-greet with performers, followed by a cultural show featuring acrobatics, dance, folk music, and the famous Sichuan Opera face-changing magic. MS
