Pick your perk: Snag $1K onboard credit or airfare discount on your next cruise
If taking a cruise on an intimate, upscale vessel is on your travel wish list, Azamara has a sweet deal for you.
The small-ship cruise line's current March Flash Offer allows travelers to pick their perk — $1,000 in onboard credit or $1,000 off airfare.
Azamara cruise deal details
Book a sailing now through May 30, and you can choose between a $1,000 credit to use for shore excursions, spa treatments or other onboard purchases and a $1,000 airfare discount. Both choices are available per cabin, based on double occupancy (effectively $500 per person).
To access the airfare discount, you must book your flights through Azamara Air, the cruise line's travel department. If you book your own air travel, the onboard credit is the only perk you can pick.
The deal is available for sailings departing between July 1, 2024, and June 5, 2025, to destinations including Spain, Portugal, France, India, Iceland and the Caribbean.
You can save even more with the line's current wave season promotion, which provides discounts of up to $2,000 on select sailings departing from April 1 through Dec. 31, 2024.
You can book cruises via Azamara's website or through your favorite travel agent or seller.
