Soon kids will be finishing school for the summer and now is the perfect time to book your family getaway.  There is still some summer and fall sailings you can get a jump on if you act now including:   Western Mediterranean (August 7-21), Alaska (August 14-21), Western Mediterranean & Israel (September 24 - October 8), and United Arab Emirates, Oman and Bahrain (October 24 - November 3, 2016).

This month we are featuring two beautiful destinations.  Baja and the Sea of Cortez aboard the Azamara Quest, (Feb. 9-21, 2017). On this sailing you will experience an AzaMazing Evening - the Day of the Dead at Wild Canyon. El Tule, the magnificent canyon walls and the dreamy desert sky set the scene for a magical night of fire twirling and acrobatics as Mexico's Catrinas and the patronesses of the Day of the Dead bring this night of culture alive.   Our second destination is an exclusive sailing to the remote reaches of the pristine fjords in Patagonia aboard the MV Stella Australis (Nov. 25 - Dec. 02, 2017). Have you ever dreamt of going to the Antarctic but were nervous of the Drake Passage? Patagonia is a similar landscape and wildlife experience all within the protected Fjords. One of the highlights of this cruise is a stop on Cape Horn! Most have only sailed past and only a few have actually set foot on this infamous point.
