Azamara Journey was the first ship in the fleet and remains the template: small enough to berth centrally, with itineraries built around time ashore rather than time at sea.
More than half her voyages include an overnight in port, and late departures after 10pm are standard.
Dining spans Discoveries, Windows Café, Prime C and Aqualina, with the two speciality venues complimentary for suite guests.
The fare includes selected wines, beer and spirits, gratuities, self-service laundry and shuttles into town.

Overnight itineraries
More than half of all voyages include at least one overnight in port.
