Azamara Cruises has announced that bookings are officially open for its 195-night 2029 World Cruise.

The highly anticipated World Cruise aboard Azamara Quest will sail from San Diego to Copenhagen from January 3 through July 17, 2029. As part of the 2029 World Cruise offering, the cruise line has introduced three ways to experience the cruise, with two additional journeys of 179 and 139 nights opening for bookings October 14, 2026. 

Spanning five continents and 40 countries and territories, the full journey will spend 65 percent of its time in port, with 16 overnight stays and 60 late nights, giving guests more time in destination than any other 2029 World Cruise. The vessel will sail from North America through the South Pacific, Oceania and Asia before ending in Northern Europe, visiting 126 ports including 12 maiden voyages. Two shorter journeys will invite guests to experience the World Cruise at a length best suited to their needs.

The ship will call on 11 ports in New Zealand, 12 ports in Australia, continuing through Indonesia and Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China, nine ports in Japan, Alaska, British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, through Central America and the Panama Canal to Columbia and Florida. The sailing then heads north to New York before crossing the Atlantic to Ireland, the United Kingdom and France, continuing into Northern Europe.

The final stretch through Northern Europe spans 12 different countries in the last 16 nights of the journey, including Germany, Denmark, Poland, Finland, Latvia and Sweden, before arriving in Copenhagen.  

“World travel is about more than simply checking destinations off a list. It’s about having the time to experience them, discover something unexpected and connect with the places and people along the way,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises in a statement.

She added, “Our 2029 World Cruise was designed around that philosophy, with time to explore more deeply and make meaningful connections both ashore and on board. Our crew is at the heart of that experience, creating the warm, personalized service our guests know and love about Azamara. We’re incredibly excited to open bookings and invite our guests to join us for what we believe will be one of the most memorable journeys Azamara has ever created.”
