Azamara Cruises has announced its 2028 World Cruise aboard the Azamara Onward. The 175-night itinerary spans six continents, 40 countries and 91 ports.
The company said that the sailing is further enhanced by the support of Azamara’s new World Cruise Desk, a pre-cruise concierge for guests and travel partners.
“Our 2028 World Cruise represents Azamara’s most culturally immersive journey yet,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises.
“We are so proud to offer an experience that delivers more opportunities for extended exploration than any other 2028 world cruise, from additional late nights and overnights to an unmatched number of countries visited,” added Ritzenthaler.
Departing Miami on January 5, 2028, the Azamara Onward sets off with first stops in the Southern Caribbean and Latin America, calling on Aruba and Colombia before a Panama Canal transit and visits to Ecuador and Peru.
Guests will have the opportunity to visit Easter Island, Chile and explore the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rapa Nui National Park, as well as Pitcairn Island.
After crossing the Pacific, guests enjoy an overnight in Tahiti and Bora Bora before venturing on to New Zealand and Australia, including stops in Christchurch, Sydney and Cairns.
The cruise continues through Asia with calls in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand and Singapore, then sails across the Indian Ocean to Sri Lanka.
In southern Africa, guests visit South Africa and Namibia before continuing north to the Canary Islands. The cruise then carries on to Morocco, Barcelona, the French Riviera and Italy, including Rome, the Amalfi Coast and Sicily, before cruising through Croatia, the Greek Isles, and Turkey.
The journey concludes on June 29, 2028, in Athens, Greece.
The company said in a press release that the 2028 World Cruise is divided into 14 designed segments. Each segment will also feature its own slate of exclusive events, AzAmazing Evenings and curated enrichment.
Throughout the 2028 World Cruise, Azamara will also offer a collection of overland experiences.
