AZAMARA ANNOUNCES ITS RETURN TO VENICE IN 2023
Azamara – the upmarket cruise line and leader in Destination Immersion® experiences – has announced the cruise line’s return to Venice, beginning April 3, 2023, as part of Azamara Journey’s® 12-Night The Best of The Med Voyage.
Starting next spring, the line’s four-ship fleet will access the Venetian Lagoon ports of Chioggia and Fusina, allowing guests a more seamless opportunity to marvel at gondolas, stroll the cobblestone streets, and explore Venice with ease.
In addition to gaining easy access to the heart of Venice, Azamara’s continued pursuit of hidden gems brings guests the unique opportunity to explore Chioggia, which has recently experienced a rise in tourism thanks to the flourishing of bacari, bars serving wine and finger food along the central canal, Riva Vena. Travelers can enjoy the city’s charming canals, historic churches, beautiful sandy beach, and undiscovered scenery.
Highlights of the upcoming sailings to Venice include:
- 7-Night Italy Intensive Voyage
- This seven-night Country Intensive® itinerary encourages guests to explore Italy to the fullest with late nights in Ravenna, Kotor and Amalfi, and an overnight stay in Rome, giving travelers plenty of time to explore spectacular views, ancient cities and the local culture in each destination.

- 7-Night Amalfi & Dalmatian Coasts Voyage
- Travelers aboard this seven-night voyage have the opportunity to dive deeper into the beautiful shorelines of the Amalfi and Dalmatian Coasts, with four late stays, including Sorrento, Kotor, Dubrovnik and Sibenik as well as an enchanting overnight stay in Venice, where guests can enjoy people watching in the Piazza San Marco, sampling Veneto wines, and admiring Murano’s handcrafted glass and swathes of silk.
Committed to providing travelers with a more authentic connection to a destination, Azamara offers an array of immersive shore excursions to help guests dive deeper into Venice’s storied history and local life, including:
