Cruise & Ferry Itinerary Planning 2020

Azamara’s itineraries to the Greek islands are always popular with guests may choose to enjoy the opulence and relaxation made available by the onboard offerings for the entirety of their trip, Azamara tries to encourage its passengers to opt for a more ‘pied à terre’ experience. “We invite all of our guests to purchase a shore excursion while onboard our ships,” says Pawlus. “Our ratings clearly show that those who visit the extraordinary destinations on offer are much more satisfied with their overall cruise experience.” Pawlus thinks cruise industry partners and ports across the world have played a key role in helping Azamara to achieve this high shore-based satisfaction rate. However, he believes there is still room for growth. “We constantly challenge our port agents to give us unique shore excursion options. Our customers are no longer excited by the typical three-hour city bus tours of old.” With all this considered, it’s no wonder that Pawlus, like many of his peers, cannot wait for the industry to restart around the world. “I am most looking forward to waking up each morning to see where our ships are in the world, and what our guests are experiencing.” CFIP 3 9
