Azamara Onward

Azamara Onward is a mid-sized R-Class cruise ship owned and operated by Azamara Cruises. Originally built in 1999 by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in Saint-Nazaire, France, for Renaissance Cruises, she later sailed as Pacific Princess for Princess Cruises from 2002 until 2021. Following her acquisition by Azamara in March 2021, she underwent a comprehensive 14 million euro drydock refurbishment at Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam in April 2022. Upgrades modernized crew spaces, public areas, the pool deck, the wellness complex, and the atrium, which now features updated millwork, a restored grand staircase, new decorative accents, and a stained-glass ceiling. She officially entered service as Azamara Onward on May 2, 2022.

The vessel prioritizes an intimate, destination-focused atmosphere with attentive service supported by a one-to-two staff-to-guest ratio. Onboard entertainment and daily activities remain intentionally low-key, featuring bridge, origami, trivia, and evening performances in the compact Cabaret Lounge. Dining spaces showcase updated décor and artwork, including Sterling Steakhouse and Sabatini's Restaurant with its signature arched windows. Outdoor public areas are designed for relaxation, while attentive service extends to complimentary in-cabin amenities such as daily fruit baskets, fresh flowers, afternoon canapés upon request, terry bathrobes, shoeshine service, binoculars, and umbrellas.

Accommodations total 335 staterooms, including 23 inside, 80 oceanview, 170 balcony cabins, and 62 suites. Across the inventory, 247 cabins feature private step-out balconies, and roughly 93 percent of all staterooms offer ocean views. Personal butler service is provided for staterooms, and the top tier of accommodation is anchored by the World Owner's Suite, which provides 600 square feet of interior space alongside a 215-square-foot private terrace.

Whether you are vacationing as a family, sailing as a couple, or taking your very first cruise, Azamara Onward delivers a refined mid-sized experience. Its blend of high-end design, diverse culinary options, and versatile spaces caters equally well to high-energy activities and quiet relaxation.
