Azamara’s transition into an independent brand and cruise company has taken a big leap forward with the handover and naming of its new ship, Azamara Onward.
“Today marks a new beginning for Azamara, as we increase our capacity and begin our journey as an independent cruise company,” said Azamara’s president, Carol Cabezas.
“Our beautiful new ship can access smaller ports and allow us to bring our guests to even more destinations.”
The name was chosen to reflect the brand’s journey to the next chapter.
Azamara Onward, formerly Pacific Princess, pictured, is currently in Civitavecchia undergoing an extensive renovation to reflect the Azamara brand. She is scheduled to begin her inaugural season around Europe in 2022.
