Meet Azamara Onward - The Newest Addition to the Azamara Fleet
Built to traverse oceans, explore scenic coastal waters, and dock in less-traveled ports that larger ships just can’t access, Azamara Onward offers all the benefits of small-ship cruising, while still delivering on the elevated luxury experience you’ve come to expect from Azamara.
It’s an exciting time for Azamara. Along with their triumphant return to sailing last summer, they announced a fantastic new addition to their growing fleet: Azamara Onward. Since then, it’s been a year of thrilling preparations for Onward’s maiden voyage along the Italian coast, which debuted in May of 2022.
As it currently sails through the Italian coast, we wanted to give you the chance to get to know their newest ship a little better. Read on to learn more about Azamara Onward, her incredible crew, and all the exciting new destinations and immersive experiences she has in store for us this year!

At 592 feet long, 84 feet wide, and weighing in at an impressive 30,277 tons, Azamara Onward hits what we consider to be the cruise ship sweet spot. It’s not too big, not too small, but just right for delivering immersive experiences that take you off the typical tourist track. Built to traverse oceans, explore scenic coastal waters, and dock in less-traveled ports that larger ships just can’t access, Azamara Onward offers all the benefits of small-ship cruising, while still delivering on the elevated luxury experience you’ve come to expect from Azamara.
Onboard, you’ll find five restaurants, eight distinctive bars, and lounges, plus fitness facilities, shops, and our signature Sanctum Spa, where you can relax and recharge between adventures in port. In addition, 278 staterooms offer a range of accommodation options, so no matter how you like to travel, you’ll find all the creature comforts you need.
