I have just returned from a 5 day cruise on this ship and i have to say it far exceeded our expectations! The service was first class, nothing was too much trouble for any crew member, the ship did not have the WOW factor of other ships but it was quietly tasteful with a sense of elegance and calm. We had never been on an 'all inclusive' before and although a little hesitant on the quality of alcohol served, we kept to the basic package on offer and we had no complaints on the regular beer and daily special wines, not to mention the spirits! The cabin was a great position for us and spacious and well appointed, breakfast on the balcony was a delight, little touches made all the difference - a tablecloth on the balcony table was a delightful extra. I would highly recommend this ship and would love to make a return visit soon. Could I also add, from the moment we saw your advert in the Sunday Mail till we arrived home from our cruise our dealing with Iglu cruising and all our package entailed had been quite faultless, from the Hotel in Nice and all the transfers, everything ran so smoothly and was organised to perfection - THANK YOU!!!

This has been one of the best ships that we have sailed on, just under 700 passengers, nearly 450 crew, a great ratio and it showed when you wanted a drink or were waiting to get served for lunch or dinner. Firstly the ship it was spotlessly clean and spruce, the public rooms, restaurants, cafe's and lounges were kept immaculately clean. Our cabin was as usual smallish with a tiny bathroom but it was kept really clean and tidy and when our fridge stopped working it was replaced within 10 minutes, wonderful job by Alexis and his colleague. The entertainment was good but not extravagant as is the same with all small ships but the lecturers were brilliant as we learnt so much about our trip through the Panama Canal not only about its constructions and upkeep but about all the geology of the area. The cruise took us from Caldera on the Pacific side of Costa Rica down the coast to the Panama through the wonderful locks and onto Puerto Limon then three lovely days at sea in temperatures of mid eighties and then overnight in New Orleans, what a beautiful city it is, if you go take the open top bus for a really informative history of the city by a local guide talking to you instead of trying to listen to cassette words. We could have done with more time in this great city but we moved onto lazy Key West and another laid back day before finishing in Miami.

This is undoubtedly one of the very best cruiselines we have ever been with. The staff are attentive and friendly and the food and facilities were always excellent. Whilst their own excursions are rather expensive I cannot rate the free Azamazing evening with them highly enough. An evening at Ephasis was atmospheric and beautifully entertaining. Iglu were again marvellous with complex arrangements for transfers and hotels organised brilliantly.

We were exceptionally pleased with the whole holiday package provided by Iglu Cruise for 2 nights B&B at a hotel located right on Copocabana Beach in Rio De Janeiro, private transfers were included from Rio Airport and the hotel accomodation and breakfast were also excellent. Transfers from the hotel to the Rio Dock Area were also 100% perfect and right on time, the cruise on the Azamara Journey was fantastic in terms of quality, crew helpfulness, entertainment and locations/ports of call in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. An excellent value for money package, will certainly travel with Iglu again.

Perfection is an almost impossible target but Azamara Journey makes a fantastic attempt to achieve it. The crew were top class and very attentive and made the cruise a great experience.

This was a first time with Azamara and I do hope that it won't be the last. AMAZING -- this is everything that you expect from a cruise. The quality of service, food, staff, entertainment and cleanliness was superb. The only complaint that I have is that the flights Glasgow/Amsterdam /Nice and returning Barcelona /Amsterdam /Glasgow - We could have flown direct from Edinburgh. The hassle because there wasn't enough time to get from one terminal to the other nearly gave me a heart attack! So next time I may arrange my own flights but i will certainly book with you again Thank you so much.

The excellent customer service starts with the Captain and includes every member of staff including the entertainment staff and guest speakers.  Well Done Azamara you have got it perfect!
