Azamara Club Cruises

Azamara Pursuit

Launched in 2018, the 702-passenger Azamara Pursuit is similar in size to the 694-passenger ships Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, and it was updated to reflect the renovations introduced on those two ships. Pursuit allows visits to smaller ports that larger ships are unable to reach.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Seven Seas Mariner

The casually chic, 700-passenger Mariner feels like a floating country club with a relaxed, upscale style that allows passengers to be themselves. By that I mean you can dress up or down (but no jeans at night), dine where and when you want and take advantage of all the free shore excursions or just plop on a chaise and read a book.

  • Musical reviews and Cirque-style productions in Constellation Theater
