zitsky Posted October 2, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I've seen reviews of Azamara SA cruises, but I can find nothing on their website. Did they pull out of this market? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
excitedofharpenden Posted October 2, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 2, 2017 They had issues there, but understand are going back with the 3rd ship coming online. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellbon Posted October 2, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Other cruise lines go to both sides of S America. AZ only went to the East Coast and back up.I was on several of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excitedofharpenden must have an inside source? The Azamara Pursuit itineraries are due to be released late this month. I will be hoping for South America as well.

Rare MMDown Under Posted October 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I recall reading that the President and CEO said that the new ship would be cruising to South America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodaxe Posted October 4, 2017 #10 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Yes and another new destination coming for 2020[emoji847] Sent from my iPad using Forums Our first Azamara was to South America and Antarctica in February 2008. I can honestly say that really was the cruise on a lifetime. It got us hooked on Azamara, that was also in the days of reasonable prices. I hate to think what the will be charging now if they do go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare travelberlin Posted October 8, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I would also like to see Azamara in South America again. We had a wonderful cruise for New Years Eve there with the Journey.

Riocca Posted October 9, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) Are you at liberty to say where? Not really, it was mentioned on Quest at a couple of functions but itineraries are not approved yet so be wrong to say too much but it should would make many people happy.

We went to a cruise show on the weekend, information there was that Pursuit’s itineraries from August 2018 to April 2019 should be out on the 24th October. We were also told pricing would be keen to attract bookings, as we already have bookings out to February 2019 we may have to wait a little longer to try Pursuit.

Riocca Posted October 10, 2017 #19 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Was the show near where you live? I wish we lived near an area that hosts cruise shows. No it was a show organised by our travel agent at Epsom Race Course near London, thats about 120 miles from where we live but we made a weekend break of it. They regularly hold an even like this, we don't usually go but it was an oportunity to speak directly to a number of cruise lines we are considering under one roof. There were on the day special offers, although we didn't book anything we did find out that if we hold off booking a cruise we are concidering for 2019 for a couple of months we could make a decent saving.So it was useful from that point of view.

ellbon Posted October 10, 2017 #20 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I told Philip I was going to a new very large country for me in 2019-his answer was -we are going there in 2020. But after the problems with Cuba, AK and Japan even if i saw it in print not sure if i would believe it at this time. Cruises are just cancel to fast for reasons. But if the ship goes there the ship will sell out. At least I feel that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MMDown Under Posted October 10, 2017 #22 Share Posted October 10, 2017 I am surprised that Azamara doesn't do in depth cruises of the South Pacific. Their ships are a perfect size for cruising that region. In addition, the warmth and friendliness of South Pacific islanders would be perfect for their cultural events. The same would apply to Papua New Guinea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shedridt Posted October 11, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Quick question for Bonnie...on the topic of South America cruises, is there any thought of Azamara doing a cruise to South America that would include the total solar eclipse of December 14, 2020? As veterans of six total eclipses, we would book tomorrow! Thanks for putting this bug in a well-placed ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
