Cruising onboard Azamara Onward

We just got back a few days ago from a 7 day cruise around the Canary Islands onboard the Azamara Onward.


Azamara's usp is what they refer to as "Destination Immersion". 

Simply put this means that as their ships, they have 4, are smaller (only 700 passengers) they can stay longer in port.

This means that we had more time to experience the local life and culture from early until late.

We embarked in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria (Spain) and visited the islands of Madeira (Portugal); La Palma (Spain); La Gomera (Spain) and Tenerife (Spain) before returning to Gran Canaria.


We went on several guided excursions, more about those later, and also enjoyed some days just lounging on the ship reading, soaking up the sun (such a treat after all that recent snow) and enjoying delicious meals.

  2. Hi Maggie - thanks for stopping by - I did get two comments!
    This cruise looked really nice - I've not been to any of those islands but would love to visit Madeira especially. Hope you will post more on the shore excursions later.
    Were you pleased with the ship? We like smaller ships, my favorite being very small expedition ships with around 150 passengers, whereas Bob likes them big enough to have entertainment! We're looking for one more big cruise (for next year) to SE Asia - would probably do that again with Cunard as it would be several weeks and there would be more to do on board.
    Stay well - hope spring has arrived and your snow has melted, haha!!!
    Hugs - Mary
