Azamara Cruises is unveiling a new pre-cruise reservation program for specialty dining and spa treatments.

Guests with confirmed bookings can now secure their favorite experiences before setting sail. 

The new pre-cruise reservation capabilities will roll out beginning December 1, across the fleet in phases, with availability expanding throughout December. 

“True hospitality begins before a guest even steps on board,” says Simon Blacoe, vice president of hotel operations for Azamara Cruises. “Our guests told us they wanted more flexibility in planning their dining experiences, and this new pre-cruise reservations program delivers exactly that—giving them more time to anticipate their voyage and less to worry about once they’re on board.”  

Travelers can pre-book specialty dining experiences at Prime C, the cruise line’s steakhouse; Aqualina, the Italian restaurant; or Chef’s Table, a wine-paired six-course dining experience. 

Dining reservations can be made through travel advisors, online or via Azamara’s call center. They open 150 days before embarkation for suite guests and Azamara Circle loyalty members (Discoverers and above), and 140 days prior for all other guests. 

Spa reservations may be booked up to 12 months in advance through travel advisors and the call center, with online booking launching in early 2026. Applicable spa discounts for Azamara Circle loyalty guests will be automatically applied to bookings. Reservations close seven days before departure.   

“Every enhancement we make, from our culinary offerings to our digital experience, is guided by guest feedback,” says Blacoe. “This is another step toward ensuring that, from the moment a customer books, they feel completely taken care of.”
