Filed Under Azamara Quest | Leave a Comment
Azamara Cruises takes you to the part of Europe that the large cruise lines can only dream about. The Azamara Quest and Azamara Journey carries under 700 passengers. Since the ships are small, they can cruise in shallow waters and destinations that the large ships cannot. For example, these ships can cruise up the Thames and basically dock to the Tower of London.
European travel packages and itineraries range from seven to fifteen nights. One of the specialties of the trip is that each cabin has its own butler.
