Guests at a special gathering with Azamara Club Cruises president and ceo Larry Pimentel this week received a taste of the line’s signature and popular ‘AzAmazing Evenings’ concept.
Held at Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art, guests were treated to a private after-hours tour of the museum’s exhibits.
First launched in 2007, the concept sees guests offered the chance to delve deep into the culture of a particular destination via a specially planned event.
When Azamara Quest reaches Australian shores for the first time on 28 Dec, passengers will have the chance to enjoy three AzAmazing Evenings, with events planned while berthed in Darwin, Cairns and Newcastle.
In the NT capital, guests will be shuttled to popular attraction Crocosaurus Cove for an up-close encounter with the world’s largest saltwater croc collection.
Australia’s Aboriginal culture will be showcased in Cairns by the local Tjapukai tribe, which will regale guests with music & dance before concluding with a traditional fire-making ceremony.
Newcastle’s offering will see guests enjoy a performance by Australian artist Olivia Chindamo at a historic site overlooking the Hunter River Estuary.
“We are probably one of the most unique ‘no-cruise cruises.’
“We don’t specialise in traditional cruising but rather we think outside the box. In fact, we think outside the ship,” Pimentel quipped.
