Why Choose This Voyage?
The Azamara 2028 World Cruise is unusually destination-rich for a 175-night itinerary
Azamara Onward visits 91 destinations in 40 countries across six continents, combining major cities with smaller and harder-to-reach places including Easter Island, Pitcairn Island, Fakarava, Komodo Island, Sabang and Saint Helena.
Twenty-four overnights and 44 late nights give Azamara 2028 World Cruise guests considerably more time ashore
Extended stays are spread throughout the itinerary, including Cartagena, Easter Island, French Polynesia, Australia, Bali, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangkok, Singapore, India, Cape Town, Namibia, Florence and Venice.
The South Pacific is a major focus of the Azamara 2028 World Cruise itinerary
After Peru, Azamara Onward visits Easter Island and Pitcairn Island before continuing to Fakarava, Moorea, Papeete and Bora Bora, followed by extensive exploration of New Zealand and Australia.
Southeast Asia receives substantial time rather than a handful of port calls
The Azamara 2028 World Cruise travels through Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, with overnight stays in Bali, Manila, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore, plus an extended stay in Bangkok.
Full World Cruise guests receive a special cultural experience in Cape Town
Azamara has included an intimate jazz performance in Cape Town as the featured World Cruise event, adding a dedicated shoreside experience to the 175-night voyage.
Is This Voyage Right for You?
Choose the Azamara 2028 World Cruise if spending more time in destinations is a priority.
With 24 overnights and 44 additional late-night stays, the 175-night itinerary provides frequent opportunities for evenings ashore and longer exploration in port.
It suits travelers who want smaller and less commonly visited destinations alongside major world cities.
Azamara Onward visits places including Pitcairn Island, Fakarava, Komodo Island, Sabang and Saint Helena alongside Sydney, Hong Kong, Singapore, Cape Town, Barcelona, Rome and Venice.
The Azamara 2028 World Cruise also offers considerable flexibility through 14 bookable segments.
Travelers unable to commit to the full 175-night Miami-to-Athens voyage can book shorter portions of the itinerary, with individual segments ranging from 7 to 17 nights.
The itinerary is particularly well suited to travelers interested in the South Pacific, Australia and Asia.
A substantial portion of the Azamara 2028 World Cruise is spent between Peru and Singapore, visiting Easter Island, Pitcairn, French Polynesia, New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia.
Consider the 63 sea days and longer ocean passages before choosing the full World Cruise.
Several sections include consecutive days at sea, particularly while crossing the Pacific and Atlantic, so travelers should be comfortable with extended periods aboard Azamara Onward as well as the destination-intensive portions of the itinerary.
