Wanderful's Beth Santos is Azamara Onward godmother

Recognized by 'Business Insider' as a changemaker transforming the hospitality industry, Santos is a seasoned traveler who helps an inclusive community of over 45,000 women travel the world — aligning with Azamara’s mission to take travelers to hidden gem destinations and inviting them to dive deeper with country-intensive itineraries, immersive land programs, and overnight stays.

'As a leader in the travel industry with a commitment to inclusion and passion for discovering destinations around the world, Beth is an ideal godmother for our newest ship,' Azamara President Carol Cabezas said.

Capturing diverse and shared experiences

While living abroad in São Tomé and Príncipe, Santos began Wanderful in 2009 as a travel blog, aiming to capture the diverse and shared experiences of women traveling the world. More than a decade later, Wanderful now connects over 45,000 women travelers through local events in more than 50 cities worldwide, group trips and its online social network.

Santos will name Azamara Onward in Monte Carlo on the evening of May 2, the first day of the ship’s maiden voyage.
