With its contemporary design, calm atmosphere, and personalized service, Azamara Onward transforms every cruise into a journey that highlights detail, authenticity, and meaningful discovery.

Measuring approximately 180 meters and carrying just over 700 guests, Azamara Onward provides an intimate boutique-cruise environment where the experience feels personal, relaxed, and genuinely premium. Its smaller size allows the ship to reach charming ports, small islands, and coastal towns that larger vessels cannot access—resulting in cruises that are more authentic, culturally enriching, and refreshingly different.

The ship’s redesigned staterooms and suites offer a tranquil, elegant space for relaxation. From inviting lounges and sunlit decks to peaceful reading corners, every detail on Azamara Onward is crafted to elevate the overall cruise experience.

Gastronomy plays a central role on board. Specialty restaurants such as Aqualina and Prime C deliver elevated Mediterranean and international cuisine, while Windows Café provides relaxed buffet dining with beautiful ocean views. Mosaic Café—known for its outstanding specialty coffees and delicious pastries—is a favorite meeting spot throughout the day.

Entertainment on Azamara Onward is elegant and thoughtfully curated, aligning perfectly with the boutique-cruise philosophy. Live music, themed evenings, cultural programs, and the signature AzAmazing Evenings bring the destinations to life and make each cruise even more memorable.
