The small-ship cruise line has some exciting new itineraries for the holidays, including sailing to Antarctica, and they invite solo travellers to embrace the adventure and join them aboard.

With festive sailings to Australia, South Africa, the Caribbean, and a brand-new Antarctica itinerary, Azamara, the small-ship cruise line renowned for Destination Immersion and Extended Destination Days, invites spontaneous solo travellers to start new traditions this holiday season.

With special solo rates as low as 25-50% off stateroom fares available on select voyages, travellers may leave their vacation anxieties at home and embark on a journey through the enormous icebergs of the Antarctic Sound or relax on the sandy beaches of the Caribbean islands.

Onboard Azamara’s holiday sailings, guests will enjoy special festivities, including onboard décor, Christmas shows, a Tree Trimmers party, a signature White Night party on New Year’s Eve, Christmas singalongs and carols, delicious treats, and themed buffets, all of which will create a magical holiday atmosphere.
