Maiden Voyage To Alaska
10-NIGHT
ALASKA INTENSIVE VOYAGE
AZAMARA & ALASKA
Join Azamara’s maiden voyages to Alaska, America’s 49th
state and one of its most scenic frontiers. See stunning fjords, calving
glaciers, and wildlife including whales, eagles and bears. Dine on snow-white
halibut, salmon and king crab, and sip wines from acclaimed vineyards of the
Pacific Northwest. You’ll love Azamara’s immersive approach to travel, with
small-group opportunities to meet local people, learn native traditions, and
experience the region’s history as a rough and rugged explorers’ outpost. We’re
offering three itineraries (two 10-day and one 8-day) between the peak sailing
season of late May to early September. Pick one, or better yet, join
back-to-back voyages for an eye-opening, mind-expanding adventure. See you in
Alaska!

ALASKA INTENSIVE
Begin with a bang as we sail to blue-lit Hubbard Glacier—a
fitting introduction to a region where nature makes the rules and people follow
them. Be part of immersive experiences in every port: learn native Tlingit
history in Icy Straits, explore the Russian fur-trapper culture of Sitka, and
re-live the gold-rush era with a spine-tingling ride on the White Pass
narrow-gauge railway in Skagway. You’ll have a front-row seat as we sail
Alaska’s Inside Passage, a showcase of glacier-capped mountains, winding
fjords, small islands and wildlife. Go dog-sledding, take a hike in scenic
Tongass National Forest, canoe through icebergs to Mendenhall Glacier, and sip
a brew at the Red Onion, a former gold rush brothel. The TV show Northern
Exposure was filmed in Haines, a quintessential Alaskan town, and you’ll get to
soak up all the beauty of this little jewel without the crowds (big ships can’t
dock here). Birders won’t want to miss the beautiful Valley of the Eagles where
eagles breed and soar. Re-enter city life gently in Victoria’s walkable, pretty
harbor, and sip high tea at the famous Empress Hotel before arrival in
Vancouver.

CARIBBEAN BREEZES
CARIBBEAN BREEZES
This is just what you need before Christmas: a
zero-stress adventure and a suntan, plus a few days for spa and poolside
pampering. How is that?
Cozumel is where turquoise waters, palm lined beaches, and
gorgeous reefs attract divers, snorkelers, and everyone who loves to fish, boat
or simply soak up the peaceful, laid-back atmosphere.
Costa Maya is the gateway to the less-traveled Mayan ruins
of Chacchoben and Kohunlich. While less fully excavated than Tulum and Uxmal,
these sites will nonetheless make you appreciate the sophisticated Mayans, so
far ahead of their time.
In Santo Tomas de Castilla you’ll visit a World Heritage
Mayan site dating back to 200 AD, or fit in some high-quality eco-touring in
Las Escobas Spring and Rio Dulce National Park.
While in George Town, don’t miss spectacular Seven Mile
Beach, one of the most beautiful stretches of sand in the Caribbean. You might
also like a visit to Stingray City where the docile creatures like to be fed
and petted.
You’ve still got time to start (or finish) your holiday
shopping at Key West, the most famous of the Florida Keys off the coast of
Miami, where you’ll have a full day to stroll the shops and galleries.
