Boutique cruise brand Azamara Club Cruises, Australia’s newest cruise line, has made its maiden call to Sydney when the 686-passenger Azamara Quest arrived on 14 January.The new voyages are to travel to destinations both familiar and far-flung — the Great Barrier Reef, Tasmania, New Zealand, Bali, Singapore and more.From sophisticated Sydney to primitive Komodo, the cruise will encounter the legendary Tasmanian Devil and fearsome Komodo dragon, plus sharks, crocs and other toothy types. Visit lavender fields, sheep farms and a remote island full of pearls. Sip the nectar of coastal vineyards. Meet Aboriginal artists and uncover seal colonies rarely seen by humans.“Since its inception in 2009 our destination-focussed cruise line has proved very popular with Australian cruisers in Asia and Europe – so we are delighted to finally welcome Azamara Club Cruises to Australian waters for the very first time.“Azamara offers a cruise experience unlike any other brand sailing in the region. Guests sailing onboard Azamara Quest will have longer or more overnight stays in some of the most unique and interesting destinations around Australia and New Zealand. We also treat guest to a signature, complimentary AzAmazing Evening event during each cruise that showcases the destination. While onboard, guests receive exceptional and personal service and more included extras such as alcoholic beverages and soft drinks, coffees, gratuities and self-service laundry,” said Adam Armstrong, regional commercial director.Azamara Club Cruises has also recently confirmed it will deploy a ship to the region for another two seasons, with Azamara Journey coming for the first time in 2017 and Azamara Quest returning in 2018, following extensive revitalisations that will see the ships undergo multi-million dollar face-lifts.
