Azamara Pursuit Deck Plan Changes – 2018 Refurbishment Review

The 2-month drydock refurbishment (June–July 2018, after the ship’s transfer from P&O UK) was completed at the Harland+Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland and included the following upgrades:

• Installation of large touchscreen displays throughout the ship, allowing guests to send digital postcards, browse world atlas maps, and explore Azamara itineraries and destinations
• A 98-inch touchscreen added to the Inspiration Center (Deck 4) for viewing future cruises, ports, and excursions
• Interactive tabletops installed in The Drawing Room (Library) and The Living Room (Deck 10), used for postcards, Scribble app, and browsing the web
• All public venues (restaurants, bars, lounges) were refurnished

All staterooms and suites were completely redesigned, featuring new furniture, carpets, wall coverings, fabrics, shelving, curtains, bedding (pillows and duvets), lighting, and interactive HDTVs. Bathrooms were also fully renovated. Higher-category suites received upgraded furniture, dining tables, drapes, media consoles, and sound systems.

Wi-Fi was upgraded fleetwide using the "Pervasive Wi-Fi" system. A new interactive TV system was added in all cabins, offering on-demand movies, live TV, event schedules, weather updates, and destination information. Guests can also book shore excursions and order room service via the TV system.

The total number of cabins was reduced from 356 (on Adonia) to 340 (on Pursuit). Crew size increased from 300 to 400.

The 2018 refurbishment cost Azamara Cruises GBP 50 million (EUR 56 million / USD 65.5 million).

In September 2021, the ship underwent drydock at Navantia Shipyard in Cadiz, Spain, primarily for general maintenance, technical upgrades, and repainting of the hull and superstructure.

The 2024 drydock (August 26–31) took place at CNdM in Marseille, France and involved routine maintenance, safety and classification checks, propulsion system overhauls (rudders, propellers, bow thrusters, stabilizers), and hull cleaning/painting.

P&O Adonia Deck Plans

On September 26, 2017, Azamara Club Cruises announced the purchase of the Adonia from P&O UK, a Carnival Corporation subsidiary. The ship joined Azamara's two-vessel fleet (Journey and Quest) in March 2018, when she was renamed Azamara Pursuit. During the refurbishment, the ship received new décor, renamed venues, and updated cabin categories and amenities.

Adonia's deck plan featured 356 staterooms for 710 passengers (maximum 826), served by 385 crew. The ship had 11 decks (8 for passengers), 4 restaurants, 8 bars, 1 swimming pool, 2 Jacuzzis, and 4 elevators.

Since her 2011 refit, Adonia operated as an adults-only ship with no family or children's facilities or programming.

The launderette was located on Deck B and open daily from 8 am to 10 pm. This self-service laundry included washers, dryers, and ironing boards. Detergent was available for purchase or could be brought by guests. Dry cleaning was offered onboard (Wascomat/Aquatex eco-cleaning) with a price list available in each cabin.

Adonia Fathom 2016 Miami–Cuba Service

From May 2016 to April 2017, Adonia operated 7-day roundtrip cruises from Miami, Florida to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. During this period, she was part of the newly formed Carnival Fathom brand (Carnival Corporation, established in June 2015) but remained under the operation of P&O Cruises UK.

During her 2017 drydock (May–June) in Freeport, Bahamas, the wine bar restaurant "The Glass House" by Olly Smith was added.
