For those with an unshakable wanderlust and a taste for refined adventure, Azamara’s 2027 World Cruise is one for the books—or rather, the travel journal. In 2027, the boutique cruise line known for its Destination Immersion® experiences is launching its most ambitious journey yet: a 188-night World Cruise aboard the elegant Azamara Quest. Setting sail from San Francisco on January 5, 2027, this once-in-a-lifetime voyage touches 37 countries, 103 destinations, and 5 continents—all while offering the comfort and charm of small-ship luxury.
So, what does nearly half a year at sea look like when you’re cruising with a brand that prioritizes authenticity, cultural depth, and sophisticated service? Let’s take a deep dive into what makes the Azamara 2027 World Cruise a truly unforgettable global experience.
A Grand Global Odyssey: The Route
The Azamara Quest isn’t just hopping from one port to another. This voyage is carefully curated to explore the corners of the globe often missed by mega liners. You’ll begin in sunny California, cruising through the Pacific to Hawaii, before immersing in the dreamy blue lagoons of French Polynesia, with stops like Bora Bora, Tahiti, and Samoa.
From there, the ship sails to Fiji and on to New Zealand, pausing at treasures like Stewart Island, then making her way around Tasmania and the southern coast of Australia.
Asia brings a dazzling two-month stretch—from the spiritual landscapes of Bali to the vibrant energy of Hong Kong, the culinary heart of Bangkok, and the ancient-meets-modern wonder of Kyoto. Shanghai, thanks to Azamara’s small-ship advantage, welcomes passengers dockside right on The Bund—no need for long transfers or satellite ports.
After a trans-Pacific voyage to Alaska, Azamara Quest will take an epic turn: circumnavigating North America via the Panama Canal, then heading up the East Coast to Canada, before a luxurious transatlantic journey delivers guests to the storybook coasts of Northern Europe. Think Ireland, Germany, Estonia, Sweden, and ultimately Copenhagen, where the journey concludes on July 12, 2027.
What Makes This Cruise So Special?
Azamara’s ethos revolves around deeper travel. Their ships are designed to linger—offering late-night departures and overnights in port that let you soak up the soul of each destination. On this cruise, you’ll enjoy 50 late-night stays and 15 overnights, turning brief snapshots into immersive experiences.
Also on board:
- 12 AzAmazing Evenings, exclusive cultural events that take guests off the beaten path. Imagine a private concert in a centuries-old cathedral or a lantern-lit performance in a Japanese garden.
- Access to hidden ports thanks to the Quest’s size, like the intricate Kiel Canal in Germany or docking right in central Stockholm.
- Always Azamara inclusions such as fine dining, wines and spirits, gratuities, self-service laundry, and onboard cultural events.
The Small-Ship, Big-Experience Philosophy
Unlike the towering floating cities you might be used to seeing, Azamara’s boutique vessels carry fewer than 700 guests. The result? Personalized, attentive service, a tight-knit community on board, and the ability to call on ports that big ships simply can’t reach. Think Venice, Santorini, and Dubrovnik—places that reward intimacy and charm over mass tourism.
You’ll also find that the ship itself becomes a haven. Expect a refined, yacht-like atmosphere, expansive ocean views, lounges perfect for sunset cocktails, and world-class dining options that reflect the regions you’re visiting.

Retirees and long-term travelers seeking meaningful, slow travel.
