Azamara to debut in Australia
Azamara Club Cruises will sail to Australia for the first time as part of its 2015 voyages programme, unveiled this week.
In late December 2015, Azamara Quest will sail from the Bali Sea on a 14-night holiday and New Year’s voyage to Australia and the Barrier Reef.
Guests will make maiden port calls at Puerto Princesa, Philippines; and Thursday Island and Darwin, Australia, as well as at Great Barrier Reef-destinations Cooktown, Port Douglas and Cairns, Australia.
Managing Director UK and Ireland Richard Twynam said the 2015 programme has been curated especially for UK guests "who like to immerse themselves in destinations".
"In keeping with the Azamara ethos, many voyages are timed with major events and celebrations, so guests can join in the local festivities," he said.
"We are particularly excited to bring Azamara Quest to Australia in late 2015 and expand our distinctive cruise experience to a new continent."
Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest will visit a total of 203 ports in 62 countries over 52 voyages in 2015.
