Azamara's 2025 world cruise will stretch 155 nights, visiting 37 countries and including 15 overnight calls and 31 late stays in port.

The voyage will sail on Azamara's latest ship, Onward, from San Diego, California to Southampton.

Due to the high demand for Azamara’s 2024 world voyage, which is sold out with a wait-list, the line is giving loyalty guests and trade partners the opportunity to book first. General bookings open Nov. 10.

60% of ports different from 2024 world cruise

'We are thrilled to have our second world cruise aboard Azamara Onward. With 60% of ports on this sailing being different from those on our 2024 world voyage, this itinerary was carefully curated to give even the most well-traveled guests a new perspective on the world,' Azamara President Carol Cabezas said.

Hawaii return

Highlights include Hawaii as Azamara makes its long-awaited return to the islands with a late stay in Honolulu.

The ship also will visit the less-frequented Samoa and Tonga.

Azamara Onward will overnight in Sydney, Australia and call at Stewart Island, New Zealand’s southernmost island which is largely taken up by Rakiura National Park, home to coastal rain forests, sand dunes, mountain ranges and wildlife. 

The full itinerary is here.

13 land events

The world cruise will feature 13 complimentary land events, beginning with a kickoff gala in San Diego. Additional highlights will be an AzAmazing Evening in Benoa, Bali and a two-night stay in Bangkok, affording the chance to travel to Chiang Mai in northern Thailand to neighboring country Laos.

From Semarang, Java passengers can visit the Buddhist temple compound of Borobudur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
