Azamara Cruises Reveals News 2026 AzAmazing Evenings

Azamara has unveiled 35 new AzAmazing Evenings for 2026 in ports that span the globe from Alaska to Japan, and Africa to South America. The new options are in addition to the current lineup.

According to the cruise line, nearly every cruise of nine nights or longer features an AzAmazing Evening ashore. Guests sailing seven- and eight-night cruises (except on select transoceanic crossings) will enjoy a cultural immersion event onboard the ship rather than ashore.

“With our late-night stays and extended evenings in port, Azamara provides guests with unique opportunities to enjoy destinations after dark,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises. “Our new 2026 AzAmazing Evenings build on this initiative with experiences that truly showcase the heart of each destination and foster deeper connections with local culture, people, and traditions.”

Among some of the new AzAmazing Evenings options are:
