Azamara Club Cruises Offers Special Europe Promotion

When there’s extraordinary service, elegant surroundings, and true destination immersion awaiting on a voyage with Azamara Club Cruises, what could make it better? Try an exceptional value that just became even more enticing. The upmarket brand’s special offer of 2-for-1 fares on all sailings through March 2011 continues, and now, on bookings for select sailings made by June 30, 2010, guests will receive an onboard spending credit of $500 per booking, as well as a $500 per-person ChoiceAir credit. The new offer applies to bookings for Azamara Club Cruises’ European voyages from April 25 through Nov 10, 2010 on Azamara Journey, and voyages from May 3 through Nov 20, 2010, on Azamara Quest. The offer is applicable to new, individual bookings in North America only, in all categories with the exception of Club Interior staterooms.

Travelers who take advantage of Azamara’s new, limited-time offer also can enjoy the host of new, inclusive amenities just introduced on both ships this month. Now, guests sailing on every voyage of Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest will be offered complimentary, vintage red and white wines from boutique vineyards around the world at lunches and dinners; bottled water, sodas, specialty coffees and teas, whether in public venues or in staterooms and suites; housekeeping, dining and bar staff gratuities; shuttle bus service to and from port communities, where available; destination-influenced entertainment and enrichment programs; specialty dining in the intimate specialty restaurants, Prime C and Aqualina (complimentary for suite guests; stateroom guests are charged a $15 per person cover); true English butler service in suites; self-service laundry, and concierge services.

Among the European destinations in which guests sailing with Azamara Club Cruises can immerse themselves this year are nine first-time locations for the brand:

• Bastia, one of the two largest cities on the mountainous Mediterranean island of Corsica
• Chania, one of Crete’s most appealing cities, marked by stately neo-classical mansions and massive Venetian fortifications
• Korcula, Croatia, an island rife with small, uninhabited beaches, breathtaking views of nature and medieval architecture
• Katakolon, the Greek seaside town offering a gateway to Olympia, the birthplace of the competitive athletic games
• Skiathos, one of Greece’s most environmentally protected islands, known for its pine tree forests as well as its long, shining beaches
• Zakynthos, Greece (also known as Zante), part of the Ionian Islands and home to the endangered caretta species of sea turtle
• Trieste, the historic Italian port and capital of the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, nestled in the northeast corner of the Adriatic Sea against the backdrop of a limestone plateau
Gijón, located on the Catabrian Sea on Spain’s Costa Verde, halfway between eastern and western Asturias
• Liverpool, England’s centuries-old port made just as famous by its one-time musical residents, The Beatles, as by the landmarks designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites
