Azamara Cruises has unveiled its 2027 lineup of AzAmazing Evenings.
Launched in 2011, AzAmazing Evenings are one-of-a-kind, complimentary events that celebrate the people, traditions, music and artistry of destinations around the world. In 2027, the brand will be offering 36 new evening experiences, bringing the total to 121 offerings.
The full program includes 101 shoreside events and 20 onboard cultural activations. Every cruise of nine nights or longer features an AzAmazing Evening ashore, while those sailing on seven- and eight-night cruises will enjoy these extraordinary cultural celebrations onboard.
“AzAmazing Evenings are one of the many ways we honor our commitment to Destination Immersion and our promise to Own the Night,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, chief executive officer of Azamara Cruises. “Our new 2027 collection offers guests even more unforgettable performances, local traditions, and meaningful cultural moments that allow them to connect more deeply with the communities they visit even after the sun has set.”
