Azamara Onward

From Athens and Rome to the far side of the Pacific

Azamara Onward spends most of her year in the Mediterranean, largely on one-way voyages that link its port cities rather than looping back to the same pier. In the Eastern Mediterranean she runs 11-, 12- and 14-night round trips from Piraeus (Athens) in April and October; stops change between departures, but Rhodes, Mykonos, Santorini and Istanbul are among them. She also sails 9 nights from Venice (Fusina) down the Adriatic to Piraeus in March, June and September, with calls such as Split, Dubrovnik and Kotor typical of the route. Her Piraeus round trips sit in our all-inclusive Mediterranean cruises for 2027.

In the Western Mediterranean she sails one-way from Civitavecchia (Rome): 7 nights to Barcelona, Málaga or Nice in May, November and December, or 10 nights to Barcelona or Venice in March, July and August. From Barcelona there are 7-night voyages to Rome or Lisbon in June and November. Ports vary, but you might see Livorno for Florence, Portoferraio on Elba and Palma de Mallorca. Barcelona is also the start of 12-night voyages across the Mediterranean to Venice in March, April and June.

In January she leaves Miami on one-way voyages of 41, 56 and 83 nights, finishing in Sydney, Auckland or Hong Kong. Itineraries differ, but Cartagena, Easter Island, Bora Bora and Hobart are the kind of places she reaches along the way. Selected voyages also begin in Sydney, which needs no flight at all if you live there. Wherever she starts or finishes, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday: international from Athens, Rome, Miami, Auckland or Hong Kong, and a domestic flight where a voyage begins or ends in Sydney and you live in another state.

Azamara Onward sails alongside Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest and Azamara Pursuit, and the Azamara cruise line page covers the fleet and what sailing with them is like.

Port-inspired dining on Azamara Onward

Azamara Onward’s included restaurants take their cue from the voyage itself. Discoveries Restaurant serves dishes inspired by the ports on the itinerary alongside international classics such as fillet mignon with truffle sauce, at a table for two or with a larger group, all included in the fare.

Windows Cafe goes further, with themed dinners such as Indian, Mexican, Spanish or Italian, and a rotating live station where chefs cook with ingredients sourced in port: Greek feta salads in Greece, fresh mushroom pasta in Italy. By day The Patio is a relaxed pool grill; in the evening it becomes an outdoor restaurant, with Swirl & Top’s frozen yoghurt close by and Mosaic Cafe’s coffees included.

Among her restaurants that carry a charge are Aqualina, for Italian cooking with homemade pasta and desserts such as a hazelnut-chocolate soufflé, and Prime C, a steakhouse serving steaks, lamb, duck and fresh seafood cooked to order.

Bars, piano and cabaret on Azamara Onward

Her evenings centre on three rooms: Atlas Bar for cocktails, The Den for piano, and the Cabaret Lounge for shows. At Atlas Bar the bartenders work with innovative techniques, and watching them is part of the appeal, with warm and cold small plates alongside.

The Den changes with the hour. By day it is a quiet place to browse destination ideas at the Cruise Again desk; after dark it turns into a piano bar with a live pianist and craft cocktails. The Cabaret Lounge puts everything from musical revues to classical soloists on a full stage in an intimate room with its own bar, while The Living Room offers armchairs and sofas for a slower evening. Across her bars, select standard spirits, international beers and wines are included; premium drinks carry a charge.
