Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the biggest refresh that Osmara has done fleetwide, and it's going to include modernizing all of the um shared spaces on board, the restaurants, the lounges, um and whole new level of suites

The biggest once is definitely uh is much bigger than anything you're going to find on any Azamara ship

If you are looking for a water park, amusement rides, casino, you need to find another cruise line. This one doesn't have it. And honestly, that's okay

Creator's Tips & Advice

Price out inclusions carefully between lines to see true value
Book the Pursuit itinerary after its dry dock to see refreshed features

Azamara Cruises is entering a new chapter with Azamara Forward — a fleetwide enhancement program bringing major changes to Azamara ships, starting with Azamara Quest. In this video, we break down what Azamara Forward really means, what’s changing, and what’s staying the same. We received an official Azamara Forward brochure while onboard during our recent Azamara sailing, and we use it alongside deck plans to help you visualize exactly where these upgrades will be made. From a brand-new Penthouse Suites Deck to refreshed public spaces, dining enhancements, Atlas Bar, and a new Chef’s Table experience, we walk through it all and share our honest thoughts.
