MIAMI — Azamara Cruises has unveiled its 2025/2026 winter sailings, featuring eight maiden ports and less-frequented destinations only accessible to smaller ships.
New sailings for the season include a Grand Voyage that circumnavigates South America, as well as back-to-back Caribbean sailings without any sea days. Travellers can also spend more time exploring with multiple Extended Destination Days on every sailing.
“We’re thrilled to bringing our guests to eight new ports of call in 2025 and 2026, from Scarborough, capital of the small island of Tobago, to Pointe des Galets on the beautiful French island of Réunion,” said Michael Pawlus, Head of Itinerary Planning at Azamara Cruises. “As longer trips continue to trend with our guests, we’ve also added a Grand Voyage that brings guests all the way around South America and Caribbean sailings that guests can combine for more immersive island travel without any days at sea.”
LONGER CRUISES
To cater to increased demand for longer itineraries, Azamara is offering a 79-night Grand Voyage that begins and ends in Miami and sails all around South America. Azamara has also designed its Caribbean itineraries to prioritize days in port, allowing guests to book back-to-back Caribbean sailings and spend up to 14 days exploring each island with zero days at sea.
