Azamara Opens Bookings for 195-Night 2029 World Cruise

Azamara Cruises has announced that bookings are officially open for its 2029 World Cruise, offering a 195-night journey aboard the Azamara Quest from San Diego to Copenhagen, January 3 through July 17, 2029.

For the first time, as part of the 2029 World Cruise offering, Azamara is introducing three ways to experience one World Cruise, with two additional journeys of 179 and 139 nights opening for bookings October 14, 2026.

Spanning five continents and 40 countries and territories, the full journey will spend 65 percent of its time in port, with 16 overnight stays and 60 late nights, giving guests more time in destination than any other 2029 World Cruise, the company said in a press release.

The full journey will be the longest World Cruise available in 2029, sailing from North America through the South Pacific, Oceania and Asia before concluding in Northern Europe.

Designed as a circumnavigation with no repeat ports, the journey will visit 126 ports, including 12 maiden ports, offering deeper exploration across regions often overlooked on traditional World Cruise itineraries. 

The two shorter journeys will offer guests additional ways to experience the World Cruise at a length that best suits them. 

The sailing begins in San Diego before heading west to Hawaii and deep into the South Pacific, with calls across French Polynesia, Samoa and Fiji before continuing through Vanuatu, New Caledonia and Norfolk Island in French Polynesia. The journey crosses the International Date Line westbound on January 30.

Guests will then explore Oceania, visiting 11 ports in New Zealand before experiencing 12 ports across Australia, from Hobart to Darwin, as well as Exmouth, the gateway to Ningaloo Reef.

The journey continues through Indonesia and Singapore before moving through Southeast Asia and onward to Hong Kong, Taiwan and China.

In Japan, guests will visit nine ports, including Hiroshima, one of the itinerary's highest-rated ports.

The journey then continues through Alaska, including Hubbard Glacier, before heading south through British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest, then onward through Central America and the Panama Canal to Colombia and Florida.

The sailing then heads north to New York before crossing the Atlantic to Ireland, the United Kingdom and France, continuing into Northern Europe. The final stretch through Northern Europe spans 12 different countries in the last 16 nights of the journey before arriving in Copenhagen.

The itinerary also crosses the International Date Line again, eastbound on May 7, meaning guests will experience living one day twice while skipping another entirely.

The journey will feature 15 complimentary AzAmazing Evenings. Additional World Cruise-exclusive events and select Overland Experiences.

While bookings for the full 195-night World Cruise open today, Azamara will also offer two shorter ways to experience the journey, with both opening for bookings on October 14, 2026.

The 2029 World Cruise will also be available through 16 individual segments ranging from seven to 20 nights, all open for booking in 2027.

As part of the opening, Azamara is also offering limited-time loyalty discounts on all three World Cruise journeys.

The full 195-night journey is eligible for the promotion during the first 80 days of booking, while the two shorter journeys are eligible for the first 60 days.
