Azamara Launches 2009 Europe Booking Promotion

Azamara Cruises has launched a promotion that includes onboard credit and complimentary standard gratuities on 2009 Europe sailings on 694-guest ships. Those who book, between Aug. 1 and Aug. 31, any 2009 Azamara Europe sailing will receive onboard credit of $150 for each ocean-view or veranda stateroom or $300 for each suite.

Additionally, the first and second guests in each room will receive complimentary standard gratuities. Azamara’s 2009 Europe sailings are offered at a cruise-only or air-inclusive rate. Azamara’s two ships, Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest, will sail in Europe between April and November.

Itineraries will include 20 new ports and overnight stays. The seven- to 15-night itineraries will visit 91 ports in 36 countries, and depart from five homeports: Athens, Greece; Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; and Rome and Venice, Italy.

Overnight stays will be offered in Barcelona; Edinburgh, Scotland; Florence and Ravenna, Italy; Istanbul, Turkey; St. Petersburg, Russia; and Stockholm, Sweden. Late-night (10 p.m. or after) departures will be offered in 10 ports of call. The 2009 Europe booking promotion is not combinable with any other offer.

For groups, the offer is only available for individual reservations within that group that are both fully named and deposited within the Aug. 1 thru 31 booking window. The offer is based on availability. The onboard credit in this offer is per stateroom, and the complimentary standard gratuities are applicable only to the first and second guests in the stateroom.
