Azamara Cruises introduced Azamara Forward, the line’s most impactful renovation project to date, and which will encompass the line’s four-ship fleet.

Just some of the enhancements will include, among other things, a new Chef’s Table experience, revamped public spaces, redesigned spa treatment rooms, and renovated staterooms and suites.

The Azamara Forward program will also include two 10 Grandview and two Panorama suites on a new Penthouse deck aboard Azamara Quest.

“Azamara Forward is Azamara Cruises’ vision for thoughtfully elevating the onboard experience while honoring the hallmarks that have long defined the brand,” Azamara Cruises CEO Dondra Ritzenthaler.

“This transformation reflects years of listening to our guests and travel partners and an extraordinary amount of creativity and collaboration across our teams,” she added.

Other fleetwide upgrades include a refurbished Discoveries Restaurant, a redesigned Atlas Bar and an overhaul of The Cabaret lounge.

“Launching with Azamara Quest’s sailing on December 18, 2026, Azamara Forward marks a defining evolution for the ship and a significant step forward for Azamara’s high-end small-ship experience,” Azamara Cruises said.
