Starting with its 2013 season in
Europe, Azamara Club Cruises’
fares will include alcohol and an
evening tour.
THE 700-passenger Azamara Quest and
Azamara Journey are set to join the prized
ranks of ships offering an ‘open bar’ policy.
From early next year, an international
selection of beers, red and white wines and
standard spirits will be available throughout
the cruise at all ship bars, for no extra charge.
Free beer and wine will also be served at
lunch and dinner.
Previously, Azamara served only
complimentary wine with meals.
Another improvement to be introduced next
European season, one “AzAmazing Evening”
will be offered to every passenger per cruise.
These nighttime events are expected to take
place on shore at a venue that showcases the
local culture, food and drinks.
According to the company website, the free
tour could be “a night at the ballet at the
Mikhailovsky Theater in St Petersburg or a
polo match and reception in Saint Tropez”.
The evening tours also highlight Azamara’s
point of difference in that its ships often stay
overnight or until midnight at many ports in
Europe.
To make way for this new program, the
cruise line will cease its 50% off shore
excursions offer.
Azamara fares also include gratuities, selfservice
laundry, port shuttles, concierge
services and bottled water, soft drinks,
specialty coffees and teas throughout the
ship.
The new all-inclusive alcohol policy will be
effective from 27 March 2013 on the Quest
and 15 May 2013 on Journey.
