Port Everglades welcomed Azamara for the first time Tuesday with a plaque exchange when Azamara Onward arrived to its winter home.

'As a welcoming and convenient port of choice, we're confident that [Azamara] cruise guests will find themselves pleasantly immersed in all that the port and Greater Fort Lauderdale have to offer,' Port Everglades CEO and Port Director Jonathan Daniels said.

Three departures

Azamara Onward's three sailings this season include 12- and 14-night Eastern Caribbean journeys and a 13-night 'Central America Tapestry Voyage,' which kicks off the 155-night world cruise that departs Jan. 5.

Michael Pawlus, Azamara's head of itinerary planning, thanked Daniels and the port for their warm welcome.

'With our headquarters in South Florida, it's always exciting to have one of our ships dock close to home. In just a few weeks, Azamara Onward will set sail from here on her first ever world cruise from Port Everglades, taking our guests from Fort Lauderdale to more than 40 countries across the globe,' Pawlus added.
