Thanks all around

'It’s such a unique moment to have our four ships meet once again and host all of our guests at a specially curated event where they can experience local gastronomy while meeting new people from this wonderful country,' said Mike Pawlus, head of itinerary planning at Azamara. 'Our local tour operator, Atlas Express, who we honored as an AzAmazing Partner in 2023, has done a phenomenal job bringing the destination to life for our guests.'

Pawlus also thanked the municipality of Koper, the Slovenian Tourism Board, the Port of Koper and Visit Koper 'for all their support in making this happen.'

Azamara passengers were given complimentary tickets to sample the Gourmet Festival’s local cuisine, wines and entertainment. Vice Mayor Mateja Hrvatin Kozlovic presented the four captains with a plaque to commemorate this occasion and celebrate the collaboration between the cruise line and local partners and officials.

Destination immersion

Azamara’s extended destination days offered the opportunity for travelers on Azamara Journey and Azamara Pursuit to spend a late night in port, while those aboard Azamara Quest experienced an 'AzAmazing Evening' in Tito Square following the Gourmet Festival.
