Greece & Turkey Cruise: Istanbul, Thessaloniki & Volos

Aqualina

At Aqualina, you’ll find some of Italy’s most celebrated dishes. But you’ll also find contemporary inventive cuisine. Start with lobster ravioli, followed by arugula and radicchio with prosciutto chips, and a Venetian seafood platter. You won’t be able to say no to our famous desserts: marsala custard, lemon soufflé, or tiramisu. Our chefs love to be inspired, so after an on shore visit to a local market, you can also expect a delectable dish so local, you’ll feel like you’re not onboard anymore.

Specialty dining is complimentary for suite guests. For others, there is a $30 per-person cover. Reservations are highly recommended.

Due to the popularity of our specialty restaurants and regard for your fellow guests, a $15 late cancellation fee will be charged to your guest folio if a booking is not cancelled by noon on the day of your reservation.

Prime C

PRIME C
Specialty Dining

Steaks cooked to perfection. Crab cakes with remoulade. Lobster bisque. Lamb, game hens and seafood. And last but certainly not least, our famous mini cinnamon-sugar donuts with dipping sauces for dessert. (Yes, they are as good as they sound.) But at Prime C, you’re in for more than an array of delectable dining. Expect a marvelous evening in a warm wood-paneled ambiance with stunning views and lush décor. And, if our chef has made a visit to a local market while we’re in port, you’ll also have an authentic local dish to look forward to, made just for you.

Discoveries Restaurant

Main Dining

Discover the world through dishes and flavors from the places we visit. Whether it’s our Destination Immersion dinner buffet or the Destination Immersion cuisine on our dinner menu, give your dining a little local flavor and enjoy on shore tastes onboard! Of course, you will also enjoy a wide variety of nightly selections such as filet mignon with black truffle sauce. With its elegant yet lively dining and renewed décor, it’s easy to see why this restaurant is a hands-down favorite, the culinary heart of our ships. Gather at Discoveries Bar for drinks before or after dinner.

Reservations are not accepted. Choose being seated at a table for two or as part of a larger group of fellow guests (which we highly recommend! It’s a great way to meet new people).

The Patio and Swirl & Top

Casual “pool grill” by day. Then, fine tablecloths and flickering candles will set the mood for a sit-down al fresco dining experience by night. Taste your way around the world with exclusive personalized dishes using local flavors of the places we visit on our Destination Immersion® cuisine dinner menu served by our professional wait staff. And for a little touch of whimsy, a self-serve frozen yogurt station—Swirl & Top. With a variety of flavors and your choice of toppings, it’s the perfect way to cool off during the day or end your evening meal.

Window’s Cafe

The best way to see where you are in the world is not by looking at your itinerary. It’s by checking out the menu at Windows Café! Our daily themed dinner often takes its inspiration from the region we’re visiting—Indian, Mexican, Spanish, Italian. We also create an extra live station made from local ingredients purchased in port: Greek salad made with local feta (Greece), pasta prepared with local mushrooms (Italy), fresh Mussels served with garlic bread (Netherlands). Take in the fresh breeze at an outdoor table and relax in the easy and casual atmosphere of the newly renovated Windows Café. Enjoy an intimate breakfast, lunch, or dinner for two or a lively meal for six with our flexible seating options. And speaking of choices, selections change daily. Choose from fresh sushi, stir-fry and pasta, salads, smoked lox and other cold fish, a carving station and of course, desserts.

Mosaic Cafe

Comfortable and stylish, Mosaic is the place where you’ll find your favorite coffee drinks, just the way you like. Try our Nespresso specialty coffee (for a fee). Slip into a comfortable seat and sip for a while. The perfect place to start (or end) your day, no matter where you are in the world. This just might become your favorite area on the ship.

Room Service

The best time for room service? Whenever you say it is, 24-hours a day.

Order from the full breakfast menu between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM, and we’ll deliver at your appointed time. Lunch and dinner room service features a menu of hearty soups, fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches, pizzas and desserts.

Come Sail Away

Our Azamara Signature Singers & Dancers come together to take you on a journey around the globe, through music and dance. Enjoy the lush Latin beats, tantalizing tribal drums, and astounding Italian arias, all from your seat in the Cabaret Lounge. Come, join us on this exciting adventure that’s certain to inspire all music lovers with a sprinkling of wanderlust.

Jump, Jive, and Swing

At Azamara, we know that it don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing, so get ready to journey back with us to the swinging dance socials and sock hops of yesteryear. We’re striking up the band and invite you to jump out of your seat and get to the beat for a lindy hop, jitterbug, or charleston.

Just Dance

Azamara proudly presents Just Dance, a celebration of the world’s most iconic dance hits. Waltz, quickstep, tango—you name it, we’re going to dance it. This high-energy show is sure to find yourself tapping your toes in no time, as we move and groove to this smattering of different dance styles and tear up the dance floor, with hits like OPen Arms, Last Dance, Great Balls of Fire, Dancing Queen, and more.

Feinstein’s

Imagine an authentic slice of the Big Apple onboard your boutique hotel at sea. The Cabaret Lounge is transformed to “54 Below at Sea” as the legendary New York City cabaret club brings their performances onboard. These iconic entertainers in an intimate, engaging atmosphere make for one inspiring Broadway experience. But it doesn’t stop there. Add in a few magic tricks, a little bit of comedy and unique instrumentalists, and you have something for everyone. 54 Below at Sea is featured onboard the Azamara Journey® and Azamara Quest®. The Azamara PursuitSM, provides the same guest performances as on the sister ships, but not under the 54 Below at Sea name.

Live Music

What better than live music before – or after – dinner. From our cocktail pianist in Spirits Bar, to our trio in the Living Room, there is music for every taste. Our five-piece band will entertain you prior to show time every night. Throughout the evening you can enjoy a myriad of music genres, even on request. Then, of course, late night in the Living Room is when the DJ features great dance music and the occasional karaoke night. ABBA night is our biggest party night where you can channel your inner dancing queen (or king). Not to be missed whether you are an ABBA fan, or not.

White Night Parties

A fabulous meal, fine boutique wines (on the house!), and dancing late into the night. We take the show outside at Azamara’s White Night party and buffet, held on most voyages of seven days or more (weather permitting). You don’t have to wear white, but it’s certainly encouraged, as decks Nine and Ten are transformed into a dreamy outdoor restaurant, and Azamara’s officers and crew serve a delicious feast.

Local Entertainment

Most of us travel to experience local culture and entertainment. When possible, we bring a piece of the destination onboard with local dance troupes, musicians and singers. Through their performances you get a glimpse of the sights, sounds and moves of the destinations without leaving the ship.

Amazing Evenings

Local life really comes alive after dark, and we’ve crafted immersive experiences that help you discover the genuine spirit of your destination. Be dazzled by stunning performances under the twinkling lights of La Croisette in Cannes. Soak in the opulence of a symphony performance in St. Petersburg. Or, be mesmerized by an evening of traditional dance along the Saigon River in Vietnam.
