Azamara Euro Cruises Transform Holiday Traditions

  • Azamara is promoting three specific European cruise itineraries scheduled for the 2026 holiday season, including Holy Week, Christmas, and New Year’s.
  • The cruise experiences are designed for immersion, featuring longer stays and overnights in port to align with local cultural celebrations and markets.
  • The featured cruises are the 10-Night 2026 Holy Week Cruise, the 7-Night 2026 Europe Christmas Cruise, and the 10-Night New Year’s Mediterranean & Morocco Cruise.
  • Key destination highlights include cultural activities in Seville, Spain, regional tours in Tuscany, Italy, and a Flamenco performance in Malaga, Spain.

A core feature of these voyages, as emphasized by Azamara, is the inclusion of longer stays and overnights in port. This schedule design is intended to allow travelers more time to fully savor the ambiance of each destination, including local markets, candlelit services, and other festive events.

Three distinct itineraries are featured for the 2026 holiday season. The 10-Night 2026 Holy Week Cruise, departing March 30, 2026, includes nine ports and two overnights, with a focus on destinations like Cadiz and Jerez in Spain. The 7-Night 2026 Europe Christmas Cruise, departing December 22, 2026, offers five ports and two overnights, spotlighting Florence/Pisa (Livorno), Italy, and excursions into Tuscany, such as a visit to Lucca and a vineyard tasting. Finally, the 10-Night New Year’s Mediterranean & Morocco Cruise, departing December 29, 2026, features eight ports and two overnights, with a cultural focus on experiencing a live Flamenco performance in Malaga, Spain. These voyages seek to provide unique, deeply embedded cultural moments during the traditionally celebrated holiday periods.
