After nearly 18 months out of service, the Azamara Quest departed on her first cruise last week, sailing from Greece, also marking Azamara’s return to guest operations. Azamara was sold by Royal Caribbean to Sycamore Partners in March 2021 with the company also having acquired a fourth ship in the former Pacific Princess.
The Quest leaves from Piraeus later today, offering a series of five back-to-back Greece Country-Intensive Voyages, but before resuming service, the 694-guest Azamara Quest spent some time at Navantia in Spain and during her drydock in Cadiz, she received Azamara’s new logo and general maintenance and updates.
Built in 2000, Quest has been through various refurbishments over the years, with the addition of culinary options and upgraded cabins, and an intimate, smaller vessel, she offers a premium product, visiting unusual ports in destination-intensive itineraries.
After the first sailings in Europe, Quest is set to cross the Atlantic in November for a series of Caribbean cruises, departing from Miami, offering longer cruises to the Eastern, Western and Southern Caribbean.
, is the next Azamara ship to resume service on October 13, when she tarts a short season in the Mediterranean before repositioning to the Canaries, for the winter.
