Have been on Azamara many times and love it mainly because it is a relatively small boat and also the staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. This was the first time I had booked through Iglu and I was most impressed. Everything worked very smoothly.

A very good experience as far as the cruise was concerned. Minor criticisms are the size of the shower and toilet facilities - we were ok but others might struggle as they are quite petite, however the crew were outstanding and the ship was kept very clean and tidy.
Would we sail with Azamara again? yes!

Excellent service; lots of staff always there to serve you, food and drinks are of exceptional high standard and there was always plenty of choice .
Embarkation/disembarkation was smooth and well organised.
The ship was very friendly but quiet overall with no queues, sunbeds were always available.
The entertainment was every night but a little disappointing for me as I'm used to larger ships with a lot more variety in that area.
Overall I would still recommend especially if you like a quieter holiday. This is boutique cruising on an older smaller ship.

One of Croatia’s best kept secrets, Zadar has the historic heritage and fascinating architecture of Dubrovnik with a quieter, more intimate feel.
