Amenities galore and anything you can think of in the way of activities is here for your pleasure. Experience this erotic paradise where the nightlife is never ending.

In some ways the butler functions more as a senior cabin steward, but there are enough special services performed by the butler to make the moniker legit, including:

  • Scheduling of spa and specialty dining reservations
  • Booking shore excursions
  • Delivering full in-suite tea service at 3:30 p.m.
  • Delivering in-suite hors d'oeuvres at 5:30 p.m.
  • Butlers will even assist with packing and unpacking.


  • Just a note on Butler Service: Prior to April 2010 Butler service was included in all staterooms and cabins on the Azamara Journey. This has changed and will no longer be a feature after April 2010.

    Shore and Land Excursions Do I have to reserve a Shore & Land Excursion now, or can I do it onboard? Pre-reserving your Shore & Land Excursions online is a good way to make sure you don't miss out on your preferred excursion. If you decide not to prereserve, forms will be available in your stateroom, at the Shore Excursions Desk onboard. All of our ships offer an interactive television system that allows guests to reserve tours from the convenience of their stateroom. Any tickets you purchase onboard will be delivered directly to your stateroom.

    How do I cancel or change my Shore & Land Excursions? You will need to login in order to make any changes to your excursions. From the homepage, go to 'PLAN A CRUISE' located on the top navigation bar. Scroll down and click on "Shore and Land Excursions." At the upper right of your screen under Book Excursions click the GO button. Enter the information requested under "Not a My Azamara Member?" and select "Submit". Shore & Land Excursions are subject to cancellations or modification, depending on the number of guests participating. In the event of such changes, we will try to give notice before the commencement of the excursion, if possible. Certain excursions have a minimum booking requirement, or must be limited to a maximum number of participants, as prescribed by the local operator. Not all excursions described on our website may be available on all ships or during a particular sailing.

    How do I remove another guest's reservation added to my reservation? Once you have requested to add a guest from another reservation, they cannot be removed. What if I need to make changes to my Shore & Land Excursions within 4 days of my cruise sail date? In order to make any type of changes to your Shore & Land Excursions within 4 days of your sail date, you will need to visit the Shore Excursions Desk once onboard the ship. Available times offered for excursions of interest will be advised once onboard. Reservation forms will be available in your stateroom, at the Shore Excursions. All of our ships offer an interactive TV system, which allows you to reserve your excursions from the convenience of your stateroom.

    When can I purchase Shore and Land Excursions?

To purchase Shore & Land Excursions that are specific to your cruise itinerary you will need to login to your My Azamara account or enter your cruise reservation information. How much time should I allow between excursions in a day? It varies, based mainly on location. It is generally recommended that you allow one hour to get from one Shore & Land Excursion to the next. When reserving Shore & Land Excursions, the system will hold approximately a 45-minute interval between return of one excursion and departure of another excursion for unexpected delays. You will not be able to reserve excursions that fall within 45 minutes of each other as it is considered an overlap by our system.

    We think this is a truly exciting cruise. We spend alot of time in the Caribbean and are excited to explore Europe with like minded sexy people!

    Mrs is disappointed that butler service is no longer included in all cabin categories. She was particularly looking forward to this. To appease her Mr. has agreed to purchase a set of white gloves and provide cabin service. :)
