Postby HostDave » Fri Feb 22, 2013 3:53 pm

MIAMI, February 20, 2013 – Culture encompasses a wealth of experiences to different people, from dining, to music, art or history and from local activities to traditional festivities. Azamara Club Cruises’, soon-to-premiere, exclusive andcustom-made night-touring events, AzAmazing Evenings delivers that range of experiences for the passionate up-market traveler. From an exclusive night at the ballet, to reveling at a waterfront party at Chanai, Crete, guests on a destination-immersive voyage with the cruise line will now, not only enjoy longer stays, more overnights and night touring, but also be invited to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime AzAmazing Evenings event. Launching with each ship’s Europe season, AzAmazing Evenings reflect the culture and nightlife of intriguing destinations around the world and affords guests the opportunity to pursue their passion for culture on a sailing that features experiences they could only dream of.

“AzAmazing Evenings are authentic, exclusive and bespoke experiences that showcase the best of local life and often times, surprising and delightful colors and flavors of intriguing destinations around the world,” said Edie Bornstein, senior vice president of Marketing and Sales, Azamara Club Cruises. “Azamara’s unique value proposition of longer stays, more overnights and night touring on every voyage is what makes an AzAmazing Evenings event possible. The Azamara difference is that we are still in port long after other cruise ships have left.”

The cruise line’s philosophy of destination immersion is reflected in one-hundred percent of Azamara’s voyages, which all feature late-night departures and overnight port stays at a destination, some for up to three days. Guests can revel in a destination’s nightlife, dining and entertainment plus enjoy an AzAmazing Evenings event, which offers experiences to suit a variety of culture-seekers.
