Azamara Cruises has celebrated the arrival of three of its sister ships; Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, and Azamara Onward in Barcelona for the first time in the cruise line’s history, with a series of exclusive events.
To mark the occasion, Azamara Cruises guests, including winning agents from the UK, DACH and EMEA regions enjoyed a signature AzAmazing Evening at the enchanting, Finca Mas Solers – a 19th-century Renaissance-style mansion just outside of Barcelona. The complimentary event offered an immersive discovery of the local culture and traditions, with authentic hors d’oeuvre with drinks, and live performances including Spanish guitar, human tower performances and vibrant “Rumba Catalana”.
Additionally, Azamara Cruises also hosted an exclusive panel talk with its CEO Dondra Ritzenthaler and other executives from the company, onboard Azamara Journey. The session provided a unique opportunity for Azamara guests to speak directly with senior executives, and to hear more about recent announcements, including the return to Alaska in 2026 with immersive new pre- and post- land programmes, as well as 2027 deployments including summer itineraries and the biggest World Cruise yet, as well as its commitments for the future, most notably plans for continued growth.
David Duff, UK & EMEA Managing Director at Azamara Cruises said: “We had a fantastic Sister’s Meet celebration in Barcelona, showcasing what we do best at Azamara Cruises – from immersing ourselves in the Catalonian culture at the AzAmazing Evening, to seeing Barcelona come alive in the evening with an overnight stay and Extended Destination Day in port. There was a fantastic buzz around, with guests excited to come together to be part of the occasion, and those on Journey, looking forward to seeing Dondra and senior members of the Azamara Cruises at the panel talk – which was also a huge success.
“We were also delighted to have 50 agents attend the event from the UK, EMEA and DACH regions, demonstrating our continued commitment to rewarding and supporting the trade community in key international markets.”
Azamara Journey, Azamara Quest, and Azamara Onward, as well as Azamara Cruises’ fourth sister ship, Azamara Pursuit will start the summer season in Europe, before Quest heads up to Iceland to begin its Canada and New England programme from 21st July 2025. The remaining ships will embark on a comprehensive Europe programme, covering the British Isles, Northern Europe and the Med.
