Sailing on Azamara Pursuit was the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. With fewer than 708 guests, friendly staff who felt like family, and easy access to city centers, it was small-ship cruising at its best. From climbing 588 steps in Santorini to finding no tender line on return, every moment reminded us why we love Azamara. Elegant but never stuffy - just the way we like to travel.

Rhodes swept us back in time with its towering fortress walls, cobblestone streets of river rock, and the grandeur of the Palace of the Grand Master. We wandered, we climbed, and we rewarded ourselves with the best baklava and cappuccino at Ta Mezeklikia.

There’s nothing quite like stepping onto a brand-new ship - everything smells fresh, everything shines, and you can feel the buzz of excitement humming in the air. That’s exactly how it felt the moment we boarded the new Star Princess…

Syros stole our hearts with its endless stairs, polished stone streets, and views from the Church of the Resurrection. We wandered side streets, explored Saint Nicholas Church, and ended the day with unforgettable baklava from Athymartes.
