Azamara Pursuit joined Azamara Cruises in 2010 and was the third ship to join the fleet, following sister ships Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest.
Offering accommodations for no more than 702 guests, Azamara Pursuit is the definition of a modern, mid-size luxury cruise ship. The onboard environment is contemporary and spacious yet retains a level of intimacy you don’t experience on larger vessels. Another benefit of the ship’s size is the access it allows to smaller ports and hidden harbours. For example, whereas bigger ships may dock a couple of hours away from Bordeaux or Seville, Azamara Pursuit will take you as close to these cities as possible.
Life onboard Azamara Pursuit is relaxed and unhurried. The ship is brimming with facilities similar to those found in a land-based boutique hotel. There’s the fantastic Sanctum Spa, a variety of comfortable loungers and evening venues, and a choice of nine restaurants, cafes, and eateries. Additionally, with 400 crew members, the ship’s fantastic guest-to-staff ratio guarantees excellent service throughout your voyage.
If you are looking for a small-ship cruise holiday, we recommend highly recommend Azamara Pursuit. Despite her size, she offers a fantastic onboard experience and a range of superb itineraries and is ideal for both experienced travellers and those looking to book their first cruise.
