Our Travelbiz Cruise Queen Bee Caroline O’Toole (Director Weddings at Sea) was onboard the Azamara Quest in Dublin Port with trade partners and the team from Azamara Cruises. The Sun was shining and Quest was looking her very very best.
The Azamara Quest combines exceptional service and luxurious amenities in a smaller, more intimate atmosphere than most cruise ships. With European bedding and 24-hour room service every passenger will find themselves at ease. Work up an appetite on shore with Azamara’s long and varied ports of call and then hop back onboard to enjoy local cuisine in the onboard restaurants. You can also check out any of the various bars and lounges or even view an enrichment lecture that connects you even deeper to the ports you’re visiting. With every detail, it’s clear that Azamara lives by their ideal of ‘Destination Immersion’.
