Azamara Cruises

With just four small ships, each holding fewer than 700 passengers, Azamara is one of the smallest players in the cruise business. But it has a loyal following of travelers who appreciate the upscale ambiance of its vessels, the inclusive amenities it offers (think gratuities and alcohol) and its destination focus. The line prides itself on offering longer stays in port, including multi-day visits. Its ships have an intimate boutique-hotel feel, and pricing is higher than what’s offered by the big, mass-market lines but not quite as high as you’ll find with luxury lines.
