Since Azamara was ALWAYS about destination immersion, the
addition of the specially curated land packages is a natural fit. Each Azamara
land program showcases the culture, natural wonders, wildlife, food and wine of
a region. You can expect that accommodations and tour operators will be
reputable, four to five star affiliates. With the seamless transfer to an
Azamara boutique ship, you get a perfectly blended land / sea vacation
experience.
There will be three main types of Azamara land programs.
AzAmazing Journeys will take groups of 12 to 18 guests,
along with expert guides, on three- to six-
day itineraries focusing on interactions
with the locals, the best in boutique hotels all the way to glamping, and
AzAmazing Moments. Azamara CEO Larry Pimentel explains that travelers might
take a speedboat ride to see orangutans in Borneo, go on an African safari with
Micato or explore the alien landscapes of the Bolivian Salt Flats and Chile’s
Atacama Desert. Some train journeys may be longer than three to six days; for
example, one train ride in Australia will take guests over the Blue Mountains
into the country’s interior.
Land Journeys will offer a wider range of group sizes and
tour a number of cities on three- to six-night itineraries. "It's exactly
the same thing except it gets into a more modest four-star hotel, so that we've
got different levels for different guests who happen to be on the ships,"
says Pimentel, noting that the operator will be the same, so that the only
difference is the accommodations.
Finally, the Stay Local itineraries will offer an in-depth
exploration of a single city over a two- to three-night stay.
All Azamara land packages will include most breakfast and select
meals throughout the journey, all transfers, tour directors as well as explorations led by
local experts.
