From starlit soirées to local nightlife, Azamara delivers more after dark
MIAMI, June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Azamara Cruises, known for its Destination Immersion® and industry-leading number of late-nights and overnights in port, is giving travelers a chance to see the world in an entirely new light — moonlight. While most cruise lines sail away before sunset, Azamara Cruises is just getting started.
Guests will enjoy more time – and more local culture – beneath the night sky in some of the world's most iconic ports through curated night tours, double overnight stays, and a brand-new Stories Under the Stars program. Picture sipping local wine by lantern light in a secret Croatian garden, watching flamenco dancers under the stars in Seville, or hearing ancient legends by moonlight on the deck of Azamara's intimate ships.

Stories Under the Stars: Fire-side folklore paired with s'mores and spiked hot chocolate
New for 9+ night cruises, Stories Under the Stars invites guests to gather on the pool deck for an atmospheric evening of regional myths, folklore, and storytelling led by one of Azamara Cruises' 250+ Destination Speakers. Set under the open sky and paired with s'mores-inspired desserts and chocolate-infused cocktails, these events bring the ancient legends of each region to life in a relaxed fireside-style format. No reservations required – guests walk in, settle into a cozy lounge chair with a blanket, and let the stories transport them.
These new offerings complement guest favorites like AzAmazing Evenings®, Azamara's signature cultural event series that brings destinations to life through exclusive, one-of-a-kind performances, and White Night, the beloved onboard celebration where guests gather under the stars for an elegant alfresco dinner, live music, and dancing.
