I now love Croatia 1 , QLD, Australia, Aug 2025
Venturing on my 6th Azamara cruise to Croatia was a fantastic experience. Every port had their own endearing qualities and I can’t wait to go back someday. Tracey Standing was invaluable with her suggestions on the things in each port not to be missed. I cannot recommend her enough.
Azamara is the way to go! 2 , VIC, Australia, Sep 2024
Small ocean cruising is the way to go- only 600+ on board. The Azamara pursuit was perfect for the Croatian intensive cruise. Food was great, service amazing and a funny tour Director and ship captain. Shore excursions vary from strenuous to mild.
Amazing cruise along Dalmantian Coast   3 , NSW, Australia, Jul 2024
Would you travel with this Azamara again - Yes, it was excellent. Book online with Global Journeys again? Yes. What about tips for future travellers? Summer in Europe can be VERY hot (it was particularly so in Athens) coastal regions are good, and onboard ship was pleasant. What was the quality of the accommodation like? The Azamara Pursuit has excellent read more accommodation. Our stateroom was perfect, and the attendant was very attentive. Was it a good time of year to travel? Not particularly so in the towns we stopped at. The heat was sometimes overwhelming. What were your fellow travellers like - were they a good mix and did you get along? A very diverse mix; but we soon found people who we often ate with or went on to the day trips with.
