Azamara is a cruise line based in Miami, Florida, that operates four cruise ships on worldwide itineraries.[1]
History
Azamara Cruises was founded in 2007 after two R-class ships from Pullmantur Cruises that would have gone to Celebrity Cruises were transferred to the new company. The first ships of the company were the Azamara Quest and Azamara Journey. They make cruises to exotic locations, competing with similar luxury cruise lines such as Oceania Cruises.
In 2009 Azamara underwent a rebranding, being renamed to Azamara Club Cruises. Between 2012 and 2013 the Azamara Quest and Azamara Journey were renovated and in 2018 the company acquired the Adonia from P&O Cruises, renaming it to Azamara Pursuit.[2]
The company was founded by Royal Caribbean who wanted to diversify its operations. In 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the company was sold to a private investment group.
