Azamara Club Cruises to Asia

Asia’s the world’s largest continent, with a range of cultures between the thriving cities of Dubai and Shanghai. In recent years, cruises to this region started increasing, with growth expected through 2017.

Trips essentially touch on all major aspects of Asia: the modern culture that brings upon technological innovations, the ancient history now represented in ruins, various religions from Buddhism through Shintoism, cuisine, and the beautiful beaches around its perimeter.

While Azamara Club cruises encompass these points with its trips to Asia, the luxury line known for more intimate, detailed itineraries takes it a step further. Cruises cover practically the entire perimeter, from Japan through the Middle East, and offer a range of perspectives.
