Azamara Cruises Unveils Advanced Booking for Specialty Dining, Spa Treatments

Azamara Cruises is introducing a new pre-cruise dining and spa reservations program, allowing guests with confirmed bookings to secure their favorite restaurant or spa treatment before setting sail.

“True hospitality begins before a guest even steps on board,” said Simon Blacoe, vice president of hotel operations at Azamara Cruises. “Our guests told us they wanted more flexibility in planning their dining experiences, and this new pre-cruise reservations program delivers exactly that – giving them more time to anticipate their voyage and less to worry about once they’re on board.”  

Dining reservations, which can be made for Prime C, Aqualina, and the Chef’s Table, can be made through travel advisors, Azamara’s call center, and Azamara.com opening up 150 days before embarkation for suite guests and Azamara Circle loyalty members (Discoverers and above), and 140 days prior for all other guests. The booking window applies to dining only.

Space reservations operate differently and can be booked up to 12 months in advance through travel advisors and the call center, with online booking via the Azamara website launching in early 2026. As an added enhancement, applicable spa discounts for Azamara Circle loyalty guests will be automatically applied to their bookings.

All reservations close seven days before departure.   

These updates come as part of Azamara Cruises’ broader initiative to simplify and enhance the guest experience. The cruise line recently refreshed its digital booking tools, making it easier for guests to access their booking directly through Azamara.com, selecting and adding shore excursions or onboard items, and applying onboard credits during checkout.

Travelers can also now select their preferred stateroom at booking or change to another available stateroom post-booking. 

“Every enhancement we make, from our culinary offerings to our digital experience — is guided by guest feedback,” added Blacoe. “This is another step toward ensuring that, from the moment a customer books, they feel completely taken care of.” 

The new pre-cruise reservation capabilities will roll out beginning Dec. 1, 2025, across the fleet in phases, with availability expanding throughout December.
