Azamara Onward

From Athens to the Adriatic, and Lisbon to the Canaries

Azamara Onward spends much of her year in Greek and Adriatic waters, sailing the Eastern Mediterranean from Piraeus for Athens and from Venice. Her Athens round-trips run 11 to 14 nights in April and October. Stops change between departures, but Rhodes, Santorini, Limassol and Alexandria are among them. One-way voyages of 8 to 10 nights link Athens with Venice or Istanbul in spring and summer, and also run from Venice down to Athens. Kotor, Dubrovnik and Split are typical of the coast she follows.

From Rome (Civitavecchia) she heads west on 7-night one-ways ending in Barcelona, Málaga or Nice, and on 9- and 10-night voyages that finish in Barcelona or Venice. Ports vary, though Livorno for Florence, Portoferraio on Elba and Palma de Mallorca are typical. Longer passages between Athens and Rome, of 9 to 14 nights, can add Valletta, Syracuse and Amalfi.

In November and January she sails from Lisbon to Gran Canaria on 8- and 9-night one-ways, with calls that can include Tangiers, Santa Cruz de Tenerife and La Gomera. Our Canary Islands cruises for 2027 gather these winter-sun departures. Wherever she sails from, we book the flights, the hotel either side and the transfers with the cruise as one holiday. Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest and Azamara Pursuit sail alongside her, and the Azamara cruise line page covers the whole fleet.

Port-Inspired Dining on Azamara Onward

Much of the cooking on Azamara Onward takes its cue from wherever she is moored. At Windows Cafe a rotating live station uses ingredients sourced in port, so Greek calls might bring a feta salad and Italian ones a fresh mushroom pasta. Dinners there follow a nightly theme, from Indian to Spanish. Discoveries Restaurant pairs dishes inspired by the voyage with classics such as fillet mignon in truffle sauce, at a table for two or a larger group. Both are included in the fare.

For a special evening, Prime C cooks steaks, lamb, duck and fresh seafood to order, and Aqualina serves Italian cooking with homemade pasta and strong vegetarian choices. Both carry a charge.

Cocktails, Cabaret and Piano Nights on Azamara Onward

Atlas Bar is her place for handcrafted cocktails, where watching the bartenders at work is part of the evening, with warm and cold small plates alongside. Later, the Cabaret Lounge puts musical revues and classical soloists on a full stage in an intimate room with its own bar. The Den changes through the day: a quiet corner with the Cruise Again desk for planning the next trip, then a piano bar with a live pianist after dark.

In her bars, select standard spirits, international beers and wines are included, while premium drinks are charged. Mosaic Cafe pours specialty coffees and teas at no extra cost, by day and into the evening.
