–Experience longer stays, more overnights and night touring with Azamara Club Cruises
New Delhi, 13th November, 2013: From the breathtaking beauty of the Scenic French Riviera, a panoramic drive to the Flamenco at Night in Barcelona and to a captivating experience in the Island of Capri in Italy, get set to discover even more with Azamara Club Cruises’ Destination Immersions. The world’s best small luxury cruise line recently announced the Onshore-On Us offer on exotic Mediterranean sailings in 2014.

Azamara’s unique feature of longer stays and more overnights in ports on each voyage provides guests the opportunity to experience night touring in some of the most compelling Mediterranean destinations. On board its two intimate ships, which embody a sophisticated country club ambience, Azamara guests receive exceptional and personal service from every member of the crew whose aim is to anticipate guests’ every need. Guests also enjoy fine cuisine and boutique wines from around the world, as well as more inclusive amenities, such as included gratuities; complimentary bottled water, sodas, specialty coffee, and teas, as well as complimentary red and white boutique wines during lunch and dinner; complimentary self-service laundry; English Butler service for suite guests; and shuttle transportation to city centers in ports, where available.
