Places to visit at night

Today's blog post is Ten Travel Destinations You MUST See At Night"

We call ourselves the Destinations Immersion cruise line because we offer you longer stays in port, more overnight visits, and now night touring.

How many of these 10 places have you been? At night??

It seems odd to me to include St. Petersburg on that list. I haven't seen a cruise line that goes there that doesn't overnight (of course maybe I haven't looked hard enough:o)

MSC and Costa don't overnight in St. Petersburg. Most of their itineraries just do daylong visits, which is one of many reasons I won't sail with them :D

Bonnie, this is a great list! I've been to most of these places at night, but these are also places that I can go to over and over again!

Hi Leesre,

how odd. Mine opens fine every time. I wonder if its a UK thing? Anyone else having trouble opening the blog link??

I was able to open it, but am in the US. So far we can only check off two of the ten, but after our August cruise this year, will have two more:D

Works for me :D

Been to most during the day -- not so much at night unless we stayed pre or post cruise. Start the 2nd Top 10 nights with Hong Kong floating through Victoria Harbor with the light show flashing over you.

Can't open it, not in the USA

Another no go here!

I am in New Zealand just now so it's a non US thing if anything.

No problem opening it here. Maybe the non-openers are on Sky Broadband and that thinks it's a porn site. ;)

No I am not on Sky Broadband but still will not open:(

Have been to four of them (St Petersburg, Venice, Barcelona, Amsterdam) and would put them all below Paris and New York City. We did to get to St Petersburg for one overnight on a Princess cruise and it was nice. The big problem with St Petersburg is that if you don't get a visa, you must stay with a private tour company or do a ship's tour. Some on that list are on our list for future years.

Not easy for a cruise ship to overnight in Paris.

We've been to all 10 of the places but we have not seen Cabo or Ho Chi Minh City at night.

Hi Lessre, our website gurus are looking into this. Can you read the blog if you go directly to website? At the website, look for the Connect-Share button up top. You'll find the blogs there (at least you SHOULD!)

I'm wondering if it's just the link I posted, or the website itself?

We've luckily been to a few on the list. St Mark's Square is particularly good when the massive crowds have left - very atmospheric. We did a ballet shore excursion in St Petersburg and at 10.30pm, it was like pre-dusk, so you'd have to be up late to see it in darkness.

I'll add a few others we've loved, visually, at night :

Paris illuminations (and Lyon);

New York from Rockefeller;

The Bund, Shanghai - right up there with the best and Azamara docks in a great location;

Hong Kong - ditto ship's dock - 8.00pm laser show is good from the ship and the view from the peak is marvellous;

Hoi An, Vietnam (which also boasts the best beach sunrise I've ever seen);

St Michael's Cave, Gibraltar - impressive lighting and acoustics on Azamazing evening and the drive down afterwards is great fun;

Lake Bled, Slovenia - the view across the lake is fairytale and keeps changing along with levels of cloud cover;

Prague - very atmospheric on the other side of the river;

Budapest.

The article was not on cruise destinations. It said travel destinations. Of course, river cruises dock in Paris. The article also didn't list New York. Maybe the blog should say top ten Azamara cruise destinations you must see at night.

Anyone bothering to read the blog should realize its purpose was as described in your second sentence above. Azamara is an ocean cruise line, not a land tour company. Overnights in fabulous ports are one of its hallmarks, differentiating it from most of its competitors, and that's what Bonnie was highlighting in the blog.

Anyone but me. Please excuse my ignorance.

Bonnie,

Don't know why but today it opened on first click.

Thanks for looking into it but it now seems to be working after many attempts.

Thanks again.
