Azamara Quest will then cruise to Bali, Indonesia, beginning a two-month exploration of Asia including stops in Thailand, Vietnam, China, Japan and more. Azamara Quest will then cross the Pacific Ocean to Alaska before circumnavigating North America (via the Panama Canal) to St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

Throughout the cruise, immersive travel experiences that Azamara Cruises uniquely provides will enable guests to connect deeply with the destinations they visit:

• longer days in port and more overnight stays – the 2027 World Cruise will feature 50 late-night stays and 15 overnights
• authentic cultural encounters through exceptional shore excursions and
  Azamara's signature AzAmazing Evenings - the 2027 World Cruise will feature 12 exclusive AzAmazing Evenings
• the small-ship advantage of accessing smaller ports and hidden gems that larger ships cannot reach such as transiting the Kiel Canal in Germany or cruising into the heart of Shanghai to dock right at The
  Bund
• inclusive amenities that provide added value through
  Always Azamara encompassing a variety of dining venues, room service, drinks (including house wines and beers) all day and night, gratuities, exclusive cultural events, and unlimited self-service laundry
• Azamara Cruises' outstanding personalized, attentive service that keeps guests returning year after year

"For our 2027 World Cruise, we've created an incredible route that will bring our guests to the doorsteps of sought-after destinations around the world," said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises. "Imagine sailing as far south as Stewart Island, New Zealand, and as far north as Helsinki, Finland, all in one cruise. We are stopping to see the world's most beautiful skylines & bridges. It will really be a remarkable, unforgettable journey - one that I hope our long-time friends and brand-new friends will jump on!"
