About Azamara Pursuit
Azamara Pursuit is a boutique-style luxury cruise ship introduced to the Azamara fleet in 2018 after a full refurbishment. With a tonnage of about 30,000 GT, a length of 181 meters, and space for around 700 guests, the ship offers an intimate atmosphere with a high staff-to-guest ratio of nearly one crew member for every two passengers. Pursuit features 351 staterooms, many with ocean views or private verandas, and a selection of elegant suites with added living space, marble bathrooms, and premium amenities. Guests can enjoy a choice of dining venues, including specialty restaurants, casual cafés, and stylish lounges, along with multiple bars and a main dining room serving global cuisine. Onboard facilities include a pool deck, spa and wellness center, fitness studio, theater for evening entertainment, and boutique shopping. Azamara Pursuit provides a range of inclusive benefits such as 24-hour room service, selected spirits, wines, soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas, complimentary gratuities, and laundry service. Its smaller size allows access to ports that larger ships cannot reach, offering immersive itineraries combined with refined service and a relaxed, elegant onboard atmosphere.
