Sydneysiders saw double yesterday when Azamara sister ships Onward and Pursuit cruised into Sydney Harbour on 19 February 2025, docking simultaneously for the first time in the boutique cruise line’s history.
The arrival of Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Onward in Sydney was a visual event for guests and locals alike. Onward led the way while Pursuit treated guests and onlookers to a 360-degree twirl.
This rare dual visit is expected to enhance Azamara’s reputation among travellers seeking unique destinations, longer stays and more overnight experiences.

The historic moment also underlined Azamara’s commitment to the Australian and New Zealand cruise market with two boutique ships sailing Down Under with nearly full bookings this season.
Of the historic Azamara sister ships moment, ANZ Director of Sales Victoria Chigwidden said: “We are absolutely delighted to welcome both Azamara Pursuit and Azamara Onward to Sydney.”

“This historic event marks a significant milestone for Azamara as we continue to expand our presence in the Australian and New Zealand market.
“The strong demand for these itineraries reaffirms our guests’ desire for authentic, culturally rich experiences in this remarkable region.”
