'Our goal is to provide our partners with the best support' for groups, Azamara Chief Sales Officer Michelle Lardizabal said

In addition, for a limited time, Azamara introduced its best affinity group deal of the year for select sailings until Nov. 3. Travel advisors can earn double group amenities plus points to customize experiences for their groups, such as premium cocktail parties, private wine tastings, complimentary Wi-Fi, specialty dining and more. 

'As group travel is an important part of business to our travel partners, we are finding ways to make it easy to grow all groups with Azamara,' Chief Sales Officer Michelle Lardizabal said. 'Our goal is to provide our partners with the best support, which we’ve done by adding resources to our group concierge team, introducing easy to work with policies and launching this compelling offer.'
