Your Ship - Luxury Azamara Onward
Built to cross oceans, cruise along scenic waterways and dock at locations larger ships can’t access — this small ship cruising experience is unlike any other. At 592 feet long, 84 feet wide, and weighing in at an impressive 30,277 tons, Azamara Onward hits what we consider to be the cruise ship sweet spot. It’s not too big, not too small, but just right for delivering immersive experiences that take you off the typical tourist track. Built to traverse oceans, explore scenic coastal waters, and dock in less-traveled ports that larger ships just can’t access, Azamara Onward offers all the benefits of small-ship cruising, while still delivering on the elevated luxury experience you’ve come to expect from Azamara.
On board, you’ll find five restaurants, eight distinctive bars and lounges, plus fitness facilities, shops, and our signature Sanctum Spa, where you can relax and recharge between adventures in port. In addition, 278 staterooms offer a range of accommodation options, so no matter how you like to travel, you’ll find all the creature comforts you need. And with 408 staff and crew members onboard, you can rest assured knowing there will always be someone close by to lend a helping hand.
Entertainment & Activities
From the music that makes your heartstrings sing to the best of Broadway, Azamara's Signature Singers & Dancers are guaranteed to entertain. Plus a little shopping as a bonus.
Spa, Health, & Fitness
An Azamara cruise is the perfect opportunity to focus on your health - so let us treat you to some rest and rejuvenation. Enjoy our onboard fitness options, nutrition classes, or spoil yourself with restorative treatments at The Sanctum spa.
With a focus on wellness and vigor, our relaxing spa offers you the chance to focus on you-something you don’t always have time to do at home. Enjoy an oceanfront massage, a quick manicure before hitting the town to explore, teeth whitening, barber services, or even a healing acupuncture treatment. But beyond the Sanctum, Azamara is also pleased to offer a full range of complimentary onboard fitness and nutrition classes, including one-on-one personal training for an additional cost. If you’ve ever wished for a week or two to reboot, this is it.
Dining & Wine
Azamara offers a choice of six distinctive dining options, including room service. Whether you’re a fan of haute cuisine or down-home cooking, expect the same delicious quality. Bon appétit! Buon appetito! ¡Buen provecho! No matter how you say it, you’re in for a real treat.

Our knowledgeable sommeliers can help you pick the perfect wines for your evening meal.

Day 1 - Venice, Italy
An independent city-state and major power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, Venice consists of more than 100 small islands connected by arched bridges and is one of the world’s most beautiful cities. The capital of Italy's Veneto region, Venice is one of the most visited cities in the world. Get lost in the winding back-streets streets, take a ride in a gondola, explore the historic sights or sip wine in one of Venice's countless cafes. The choice is yours.
Day 2 - Bologna (Ravenna), Italy
The "Mosaic City" of Ravenna is renowned for its 1,500-year-old churches, decorated with exquisite Byzantine mosaics of brilliant color, and is also a gateway to other spots with claims to historical fame.
Day 3 - Ancona, Italy
Ancona, a city steeped in more than 2,400 years of history, is yours to discover. Visit towering marble arches, churches built atop ancient temples, and coastal paths that rise above the breathtaking beauty of the Adriatic Sea.
Day 4 - Kotor, Montenegro
One of Europe’s best-preserved cities of medieval or Renaissance vintage, Kotor’s walls were constructed right into the slopes of the mountain behind it, making it an amazing sight on approach from the sea.
Day 5 - Fun Day at Sea!
Spend the day sailing in style aboard your boutique hotel at sea. Indulge in a treatment at Sanctum Spa, stay ship shape with a class at our fitness center, or lounge the day away on our sunny pool deck.In the evening, savor inspired Italian cuisine at Aqualina, or relish in a classic steakhouse experience at Prime C. Plus, you’ll find plenty of exciting evening entertainment, from thrilling shows at Cabaret Lounge to intimate performances in the Living Room.
Day 6 - Taranto, Italy
Founded by the Spartans in 706 BC, and known as "the city of the two seas", Taranto’s long and proud history is set against a countryside of gentle hills and valleys, beautiful stretches of beaches, rocky cliffs, and sapphire-blue waters.
Day 7 - Crotone, Italy
Bathed in the golden Mediterranean sun and caressed by gentle sea breezes, Crotone, Italy, beckons visitors with its ancient allure. Delve into the local culture by visiting the Archaeological Park of Capo Colonna, home to the iconic Temple of Hera Lacinia.
Day 8 - Siracusa, Sicily, Italy
As one of the major powers of the Mediterranean world in 5th century BC, Siracusa is known for the archaeological and historical sights (like the tomb of Archimedes and Ear of Dionysus) that define its grand past.
Day 9 - Trapani, Sicily, Italy
Few reminders exist of Trapani’s ancient history, but from Phoenician days it was an international trading port, and currently the Middle Ages is the era most evident in its old town, now a pedestrian zone.
Day 10 - Amalfi, Italy
Wedged into the mouth of a ravine, encircled by sheer cliffs, facing blue waters and where terraced hillsides support lemon groves (and of course limoncello), Amalfi requires a camera with lots of memory.
Day 11 - Sorrento, Italy
A warming sun and gentle sea breezes have been attracting visitors to Sorrento for two millennia, and its reputation as a playground of the ancient rich and famous have resulted in lavish villas and palaces.
Day 12 - Rome (Civitavecchia), Italy
Whether it’s tossing a coin in a fabled fountain or being awestruck by the magnificence of St. Peter’s Basilica and Michelangelo’s masterpieces, Rome seems to live up to its sobriquet, the Eternal City.
With its unparalleled collection of ancient ruins, awe-inspiring art, and magnificent architecture, Rome offers a journey through time and civilization. Rome's character is equally shaped by its modern vitality, with neighborhoods like Trastevere offering a glimpse into local life, while the Spanish Steps and Via del Corso cater to the fashion-conscious.
You'll find a decent gay scene in Rome, although it's smaller and more discrete than you might expect. You'll find more clubs and late-night events than gay bars as the gay scene in Rome tends to pick up later at night.
