14 Days at Sea, Swimming Mid-Atlantic & Moments You'll Never Forget

 

Some voyages are defined by the destinations. This one is defined by everything in between.   Two weeks at sea, where the open ocean becomes part of the experience itself. Mornings on deck, afternoons in the spa, evenings that linger over award-winning cuisine and conversation. And on select days mid-Atlantic, the captain opens the marina in the middle of the ocean, inviting you to swim, paddle, and float with nothing but endless blue in every direction.

Travel on Local Time

Then greet the morning at sacred sites in the quiet hours before the crowds arrive.   With Azamara’s late nights and overnights in port, you’re not rushing through a destination—you’re experiencing it on its own time, with opportunities other cruise lines simply can’t offer.
