NEW owner of Azamara, Sycamore Partners (CW 20 Jan), has announced plans to add a fourth ship to its cruise line’s fleet.
The ship, thought to be the recently sold Pacific Princess (pictured) (CW 22 Jan) will undergo a full renovation similar to that which recently took place aboard Azamara Pursuit.
She will then debut in Europe next year, with other deployment and itinerary details to be available soon.
To be named at a later date, Azamara said the ship is comparable in size to the rest of its fleet, and would expand its overall capacity by 33%.
“We are thrilled to be expanding our fleet with a fourth ship, allowing us to visit even more regions of the world and better serve our guests,” said Azamara President Carol Cabezas.
“We look forward to launching even more unique and immersive itineraries and feel this is just the beginning of an exciting growth phase for Azamara.”
Royal Caribbean Group’s sale of Azamara last week to Sycamore is worth US$210 million, with the transaction expected to close later in the first quarter.
Azamara recently expanded its local sales team (CW 16 Oct 2020), all of whom are expected to be retained under Sycamore.
