Azamara Cruises has announced a new fleetwide enhancement program called Azamara Forward that will update all ships in their fleet.

Azamara Forward will usher in a new era of fleet enhancements for the cruise line starting with Azamara Quest on December 18, 2026.
The enhancements include a new Penthouse Deck (only on Azamara Quest), a brand new Chef’s Table experience, a reimagined cocktail lounge, refreshed staterooms and suites, and upgraded public spaces.
The new Penthouse Deck on Azamara Quest will add 10 Grandview and two Panorama Suites to the ships.
The new Panorama Suites will be the ship’s most expansive and luxurious accommodations. Located on both forward corners of the Penthouse Deck, these top-tier suites offer spectacular 270-degree panoramic ocean views, separate living, dining, and bedroom spaces, a walk-in closet, and an oversized spa-inspired bathroom.
The new Grandview Suites offer a refined, contemporary retreat designed for guests seeking elevated comfort and privacy. Grandview Suites feature a new and elegant design, including refined, modern finishes, and beautifully spacious bathrooms with dual sinks and walk-in showers.
Other updates that will be added to all ships include a dedicated Chef’s Table restaurant, a reimagined Discoveries Restaurant, debut of a recrafted Atlas Bar across all four ships, a full transformation of The Cabaret Lounge, thoughtfully curated updates to every stateroom and suite, and much more.
Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises, said the following about Azamara Forward:
