Our first time on Azamara and we were pleased with the whole thing. As ever, there were some places where we didn't have enough time and others that could have been left out - but no doubt other people would think the opposite!
The Azamazing evening was particularly great, and the Maori group, and the Aboriginal group were particularly interesting.

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!

Sorrento is located about 50 km south of Naples. The charming town is characterised by its vivid colours and the cliffs that overlook the gulf, making its landscape truly special. Sorrento is known for being the birthplace of Italian poet Torquato Tasso in the 16th century; the famous author of "Gerusalemme liberata". The city's main square bears the name of the poet and, with its typical bars and restaurants, represents the centre of Sorrento's social scene.
Things to do in Sorrento:
Cathedral of Sorrento
The Cathedral of Sorrento, located on the Bishop's Plaza (or piazza del vescovado in Italian), was built on the remains of an ancient Greek temple. Construction began in the 10th century and the church was consecrated in 1113. The neo-Gothic facade dates back to the 20th century.
Marina Grande
Marina Grande is the ancient fishing village of Sorrento. It’s been used as a film set for several Italian films in the 1950s, and is now a tourist resort that offers incredible views of the Gulf of Naples, Mount Vesuvius, and the Capo di Sorrento coast.
Piazza Tasso
Piazza Tasso is the main square of Sorrento. It is named after Torquato Tasso, a 16th-century Italian poet who penned the well-known epic poem, 'Jerusalem Delivered", to which a statue is dedicated. Another statue, located in the centre of the square, depicts Antonino da Campagna - the patron saint of the city.
Positano Beach
Positano is one of the most fascinating and attractive stretches of the Sorrento peninsula - and indeed the entire Amalfi coast. It is located between Capo Sottile and Punta Germano. One stand out attraction here is the luxurious Roman Villa from the 1st century BC. This is believed to have been built for a freed slave called Posides Claudi Caesari, and can be visited by tourists today.

Despite its small size, Amalfi and its surroundings offer many places to visit: the Duomo, the Paper Museum, Villa Rufolo and the Emerald Grotto are just some of them.

Grotto dello Smeraldo
The Emerald Grotto was discovered in 1932. It is a gorgeous, natural location in which shimmering water sits calmly in an intricate cave. The grotto owes its name to the shades that the water takes on due to the sunlight that filters through from above. It is directly connected to the Tyrrhenian Sea, and can be accessed by sea or by land.
Museum of Paper
The former paper mill of Amalfi was transformed into today's Museo della Carta in 1969, thanks to Nicola Milano, its owner. You can admire the machinery and equipment, still working, used in the past to make paper by hand.
Villa Rufolo
Villa Rufolo is located in the town of Ravello, about 7 km from Amalfi. The property dates back to the 13th century and underwent a substantial restoration in the 19th century. Today, visitors to the villa will see the Arab-Norman style architecture, and can admire the beautiful gardens. The lower garden hosts the Ravello festival every year.
