Azamara Cruises introduces its Azamara Forward fleetwide upgrade program that will see the small-ship cruise line’s most extensive ship revamps ever, including exclusive new suites debuting on Azamara Quest.
The Azamara Forward enhancement program will feature refreshed spaces and onboard experiences, from ship and suite upgrades to new food and beverage options across the entire fleet.
These include a brand-new, dedicated Chef’s Table restaurant experience and renovations to Discoveries Restaurant, Atlas Bar and The Cabaret Lounge.
The program will also update staterooms and suites and public spaces, including redesigned The Sanctum Spa treatment rooms and public restrooms.
In addition, Azamara Quest will introduce 12 all-new premier suites exclusive to the ship with the Grandview and Panorama Suites debuting on the new Penthouse Deck, the ship’s highest accommodation deck on level 10.
The 61sqm Panorama Suites with 5.9sqm verandas represent the ship’s most spacious and luxurious accommodations with top-tier suite privileges at the forward corners of the Penthouse Deck. It features separate living, dining and bedroom spaces, a walk-in wardrobe and an oversized spa-inspired bathroom.
Meanwhile, the 22.59sqm Grandview Suites with 5.5sqm verandas offer an elegant retreat for those who want comfort and privacy with expansive bathrooms with dual sinks and walk-in showers and floor-to-ceiling ocean views.
The launch will be unveiled with Azamara Quest’s sailing on 18 December 2026 and is timed to debut ahead of the 2027 World Cruise.
Onward will be the next ship to receive Azamara Forward renovations in 2027 with the rollout schedule for Journey and Pursuit to be announced later.
Azamara Cruises CEO Dondra Ritzenthaler said the program executes the brand’s vision to elevate the onboard experience while honouring its hallmarks.
“This transformation reflects years of listening to our guests and travel partners and an extraordinary amount of creativity and collaboration across our teams,” she said.
“From the new Panorama and Grandview Suites aboard Azamara Quest to reimagined dining and ship-wide enhancements across our fleet, Azamara Forward is designed to deepen destination immersion, elevate comfort, and create even more meaningful moments at sea.”
