Azamara Journey

The Azamara Journey is a smaller cruise ship that provides one of the only deluxe classes of cruises in the industry. It is also half of Azamara's fleet.

The Azamara Journey is a renovated cruise ship purchased from Renaissance Cruises when the company went out of business. It carries 794 passengers, allowing the staff and crew to give the passengers the level of attention provided on luxury-cruise vacations. Butler service is provided for all passengers.

Cruises are aimed more toward adults, with few facilities provided for entertaining and babysitting children. The dress code on the Azamara Journey follows the trend established by several cruise lines of casual elegance, which hovers between the dress code of business casual and casual.
