Azamara Cruises – the two-ship brand launched in 2007 with the 694-guest Azamara Journey and sister ship Azamara Quest – recently became “Azamara Club Cruises,” with a newly refined focus, and a series of new attributes designed for upmarket, experienced travelers.
“This isn’t a strategy of going ‘from good to great’,” said Azamara Club Cruises President & CEO Larry Pimentel. “This is about taking an already great product and making it exceptional.”
The Cruise Web Cruise Consultants Sherry J. and Jen C. were awarded their NCLU Ph.D.@Sea on their Western Caribbean cruise out of Miami, Florida, the week of December 6.

Sales Manager Mike H. will be featured on the December 23rd episode of Home & Garden Television’s (HGTV) House Hunters. House Hunters profiles home buyers in search of a new home because their existing residence no longer suits all of their needs.
