Not all itineraries are made the same. Some include early arrivals to your destination, so you can enjoy a full day of fun under the sun before casting off in the late afternoon to dine and be entertained aboard the ship. Other ships arrive a little later in the day and stay later or even all night, giving you a chance to dine ashore and experience the locale’s late-night scene. If the latter appeals to your sense of adventure, then we have two words for you: Azamara Cruises.
Azamara Cruises
Azamara Cruises is giving travelers a chance to see the world in an entirely new light — moonlight. The cruise line has always been popular thanks to their late nights and overnights in port, but now they’re taking it to a new level through curated night tours, double overnight stays and a brand-new Stories Under the Stars program.
Just picture it: sipping local wine by lantern light in a secret Croatian garden, watching flamenco dancers under the stars in Seville or hearing about ancient legends from storytellers by moonlight on the deck of Azamara Cruises’ intimate ships. Wherever they take you to, you’ll enjoy more time and more local culture beneath the night sky in some of the world’s most iconic ports.
Azamara Cruises offers 28 double overnight stays across its fleet from Asia to Europe and beyond, allowing you to spend two consecutive nights in port. So what will you do with all that time? Azamara Cruises has you covered with a choice of over 13,500 shore excursions and 246 exclusive nighttime excursions. Some exclusive nighttime excursions you can enjoy include a Flamenco Evening at the legendary Tablao El Arenal during a double overnight in Seville and a sunset cruise to sample libations prepared with the island’s national rum cocktail in Bermuda.

In addition to what Azamara Cruises offers — including 850 extended destination days (10+ hours in port), including late nights and 380+ overnights — they have also partnered with local guides to provide an evolving collection of night tours that reveal the after-hours spirit of each destination. A few highlights include a sunset stroll through Dubrovnik’s Old Town, followed by a curated Croatian wine tasting as well as a club-hopping experience in Singapore, diving into the city’s electric nightlife scene.
New on cruises of nine nights or more, Stories Under the Stars invites guests to gather on the pool deck for an atmospheric evening of regional myths, folklore and storytelling led by one of Azamara Cruises’ 250+ Destination Speakers. Set under the open sky and paired with s’mores-inspired desserts and chocolate-infused cocktails, these events bring the ancient legends of each region to life in a relaxed fireside-style format.
