Azura's highlights
Wine and dine

Be entertained
There’s never a dull moment on Azura. For fun nights out you could catch a cabaret show in Manhattan (Azura’s New York-inspired lounge), or enjoy music and dance in The Playhouse theatre. And for a unique experience, why not cosy up on deck, grab some snacks and watch a film on the SeaScreen, your ship’s open-air cinema.
Relax and unwind
For even more outdoor enjoyment, spoil yourself with an alfresco spa treatment at The Retreat, your ship’s own outdoor spa terrace. Sit back and relax on one of the inviting shaded cabanas. The experience comes complete with personal wait service, luxurious robes, towels and more.

Azura offers the perfect balance, bringing the opportunity to enjoy quality time together as well as time separately. From hassle-free meal times to carefree days out, we really have got it all covered.
Where can you sail to on Azura?
Azura cruises to the Caribbean
There’s nothing like a British winter to make you want to escape to the Caribbean. Swap the roaring fire for the warming sun, a glass of wine for rum punch, and the wind and rain for the sound of the sea as it gently laps the shore.
Make for the Med
The Mediterranean has long been lauded for its diversity, beauty and glamour, and a cruise enables you to experience it all. From the café-lined piazzas of Rome to the glamorous Monte Carlo, you’ll discover so much more than your average land-based break.
