Azamara Onward Review

Review of Azamara Onward

The 1999-built (as "Pacific Princess") cruise ship Azamara Onward was one of the two smallest vessels in the Princess Cruises fleet - together with Ocean Princess (Oceania Sirena since 2016). In January 2021, Princess sold the ship to Sycamore Partners (the new owner of Azamara Cruises) and the 22-years-old boat left the fleet - to join its new fleetmates Azamara Quest (2000-built), Azamara Journey (2000) and Azamara Pursuit (2001).

The vessel (IMO number 9187887) is currently Bermuda-flagged (MMSI 310504000) and registered in Hamilton.

History - construction and ownership

The ship's new name (Azamara Onward) was officially announced on March 19, 2021, following the handover (from Princess to Azamara) on March 15. On January 19, Sycamore Partners announced the acquisition of the Azamara brand from RCG-Royal Caribbean Group. A week later, Sycamore's Azamara fleet was expanded by buying Pacific Princess (Azamara Onward). The name "Azamara Onward" was selected to represent the "moving forward" concept (both in space and time) and meant to evoke feelings of positivity, resilience, endless possibilities of the future.

For 2021-2022, Pacific Princess had scheduled a total of 33 itineraries (departures June 28, 2021, through and including March 28, 2022) in the regions of the Mediterranean, Caribbean, South Pacific (homeporting in Tahiti French Polynesia), Transpacific repositioning from Australia to Asia. The last two planned voyages were repositioning cruises from Australia (Sydney NSW and Brisbane QLD) to Asia (Yokohama Japan).

For Princess Cruises, the vessel (IMO 9187887) was Bermuda-flagged (MMSI number 310504000) and registered in Hamilton. The boat was last drydock refurbished by Princess in 2017.

History - construction and ownership

Azamara Cruises was a fully-owned subsidiary company of RCG-Royal Caribbean Group until 2021. Founded in 2007 as "Azamara Club Cruises", the company was rebranded in 2009 (Azamara Cruises) and 2019 (Azamara). Azamara ships were originally built as R-Class vessels for Renaissance Cruises (company operational between 1989-2001).

Azamara Onward cruise ship (Pacific Princess)

In January 2021, Azamara's parent company RCG-Royal Caribbean announced an agreement to sell the brand for USD 201 million (~EUR 165,8M / ~GBP 147,6M / carve-out transaction) to Sycamore Partners. Sycamore Partners acquired the entire company and its 3 ships, plus all the associated intellectual property rights and goodwill. The all-cash transaction was closed in 2021-Q1. Sycamore Partners (shipowner) is a 2011-founded, NYC-headquartered private equity firm with USD 15+ billion in capital and assets under management. Among the largest of the Sycamore Partners-owned companies are Belk Inc (department store chain), Talbots (retailer of clothing-shoes-fashion accessories), Nine West Holdings (designer and wholesaler of branded clothing-shoes-accessories) and Staples Inc (office retailer).

The 672-passenger ship Pacific Princess operated some of the fleet's most exotic routes in Europe, Asia and South America, including 100+ nights long World Cruises (11 voyages total). The sisterships Pacific and Ocean were bought by Princess in 2002 from Renaissance Cruises (1989-founded / 2001-defunct) and were the smallest in the fleet. With its dark wood interiors, the liner resembles a manor house or country inn.

For Princess Cruises, Pacific Princess sailed 1,6+ million NM/nautical miles (~1,84 M mi / ~2,964 M km). The ship's inaugural season in Alaska (2003) started with the relocation voyage (in May) leaving out of San Francisco to Vancouver BC. In Alaska, the ship operated 7-day long one-ways between Vancouver and Whittier AK.

On January 21, 2021, the vessel left Port Civitavecchia-Rome en route to SARDINIA. On January 25 was announced that the ship was sold to Sycamore Partners and added to Azamara's fleet.

Decks and Cabins

Azamara Onward staterooms (335 total, in 24 grades) include 62 Suites, 170 Balcony, 80 Oceanview, 23 Inside. Handicap/wheelchair-accessible cabins (for disabled passengers) are only 5 (2x Balcony, 3x Interior). A total of 247 staterooms have private, step-out balconies. Most cabin balconies are sized 45-60 ft2 / 4-6 m2. The largest accommodations are the World Owners Suite (600 ft2 / 56 m2 plus 215 ft2 / 20 m2 terrace).

The boat has 11 decks, of which 9 are passenger-accessible and 6 with cabins.

Four elevators (2x Forward and 2x Aft passenger lifts) interconnect all decks.

Shipboard dining options - Food and Drinks

For a small ship, Azamara Onward features plenty of options for each meal. The passengers are also encouraged to explore local cuisine when ashore. The line plans to add a complimentary tapas bar when the ship goes into dry dock in 2016. Overall, the food on board is quite good. There are rotating themes in the buffet and the tables there are spruced up at night with soft glowing orbs. The main dining room pampers with an entree salad every night.

Follows the complete list of Azamara Onward restaurants and food bars.

  • Discoveries Restaurant (aft Dining Room, complimentary, with waiter service, open seating Breakfast 8-9:30 am, Lunch 12-1:30 pm, Dinner 6-9:30 pm)
  • Pool Grill (lunch-only casual dining restaurant with the fast-food menu, made-to-order - pizza, pasta, burgers, fries, salads; complimentary)

Shipboard entertainment options - Fun and Sport

Because the ship focuses very much on destinations, Azamara Onward doesn't have as many daily activities as passengers might find on mainstream cruise ships. There are a couple of trivia sessions each day and some other pastimes, such as origami and Bridge. The Cabaret Lounge is the ship's show lounge, with risers behind, as opposed to a true theater. As the ceilings are low-slung, this space feels more cramped and the type of shows offered there is limited.

Azamara Onward Wiki

As an R-Class (Renaissance) vessel, Azamara Onward has sisterships in Oceania Cruises' fleet - Insignia, Nautica, Regatta, Sirena.

The vessel (Chantiers de l’Atlantique yard/hull number N31) is powered by four WARTSILA marine diesel engines (model 12V32) with combined output 13,5 MW. The registered shipowner is SP CRUISES VESSEL PP LTD, while the current ship manager is V SHIPS LEISURE SAM.

The vessel (as R-Three) was delivered on July 28, 1999, by the French shipbuilder Chantiers de l’Atlantique (at its shipbuilding yard in Saint-Nazaire) and it was deployed in French Polynesia (homeported in Papeete Tahiti) until 2001.

The R-Three ship was operated by Renaissance Cruises and later was owned by a group of French investors. In 2001, Renaissance went bankrupt and Princess Cruises purchased the vessels R-Three (Pacific Princess/Azamara Onward) and R-Four (Ocean Princess/Oceania Sirena).

Pacific Princess started revenue operations in December 2002, and until 2008 was deployed in the South Pacific/Australia and French Polynesia and operated by P&O Holidays (P&O Cruises Australia). Being replaced in Australia by Pacific Dawn (now Ambassador Ambience), Pacific Princess started cruises in Europe/Mediterranean, Central America/Caribbean and South America.

Pacific Princess' godmother was Gabi Hollows - wife of Fred Hollows (eye surgeon, founding director of Fred Hollows Foundation). The naming ceremony was held in Port Sydney (NSW Australia) on December 8, 2002.

Azamara Onward's godmother is Beth Santos (seasoned traveler, speaker, entrepreneur, marketing consultant, Founder and CEO of "Wanderful"/global lifestyle brand targeting women's travel). The 2009-launched travel blog Wanderful (blog.sheswanderful.com) currently has subscribed ~45000 women and organizes group travel and events. In 2014, Beth Santos created WITS (Women in Travel Summit) and launched the annual "Bessie Awards" (honoring women with a significant impact in the global travel industry). In 2022, she established Wanderfest - the first major outdoor travel festival by/for women.

Azamara Onward's christening ceremony was on May 2, 2022, held dockside in Port Monte Carlo (Monaco), right before the 11-day Maiden Voyage to Porto Corsini/Ravenna. The naming ceremony was attended by Beth Santos (godmother), Carol Cabezas (Azamara's President), the ship's Master (Captain Mikael Palmroos), major media representatives, travel agents, Azamara investors, VIP guests.

The next table shows Azamara Onward's inaugural cruise in 2022 (11 days, priced from US$2595 / EUR 2460 per person).

Azamara Onward refurbishments review

On January 11, 2022, Azamara signed with Somec SpA (Somec Gruppo, Italy) a contract for the ship's drydock refurbishment scheduled for April 2022 (at Damen Shiprepair Amsterdam).

The EUR 14 million (USD 15,9M) project was conducted by Somec via its subsidiary TSI (Total Solution Interiors) which specializes in designing and manufacturing/installation of interiors for cruise ships, superyachts, luxury hotels and residential properties worldwide.

The extensive renovations done during the Amsterdam drydocking included all staterooms (passenger and crew), all crew areas, Pool Deck, wellness complex, outdoor decks, all indoor public areas, hull cleaning and repainting, steelworks (reconstruction of arrangements on decks 8-9, cabin balcony structures), steel reinforcements for the spa pools, creating new Suites (with outdoor Jacuzzies).

Technical upgrades included restructuring of the ballast-water and fuel tanks (to increase bunkering capacity), piping works, engine room, new grey water tanks, overhauled stabilizers (starboard and portside) and thrusters, new shaft seals, tail shaft and propeller seals.

Drydock 2024 (November 7-12) was at Navantia Shipyard (Cadiz Spain) and mainly for routine maintenance and safety/classification works, propulsion machinery overhaul (rudders, propellers, bow thrusters, stabilizers), hull cleaning/painting.

Pacific Princess itineraries

Pacific Princess's itinerary program was based on more exotic destinations, in comparison to the larger-sized fleetmates.

Around The World Cruises (out of Fort Lauderdale Florida USA) started each year in January.

In early-July 2019, Princess announced the boat's homeporting in Australia for season 2020-2021. The new itinerary program coincided with the 45th-anniversary celebration of the company's inaugural roundtrip from Australia (May 8, 1971) with the ocean liner SS Pacific Princess (IMO 7018563, 1970-built/2014-scrapped, best-known as "The Love Boat" from the popular TV series).

The new Australian program featured a 90-day roundtrip from Sydney NSW (homeport) around South America (January 3, 2021), a 13-day roundtrip to New Zealand's north and south islands (December 21, 2020) and a 21-day voyage to remote locations in Papua New Guinea and Solomon Islands (April 3, 2021). The liner was scheduled to make a total of 15 maiden port calls - including to Kaikoura NZ, New Plymouth NZ, Stewart Island (Oban) NZ, Wewak PNG, Madang PNG, Gizo Island (Soloman Islands). The program also included a 24-day Australia to Asia repositioning from Sydney to Tokyo Japan (April 24, 2021) visiting ports in PNG and The Philippines.

In the Australia-New Zealand region, Pacific Princess was planned to join the fleetmates Sapphire, Sea (now Dream Charming), Sun (now Pacific World), Majestic and Regal. General customer bookings on Pacific Princess Australian itineraries opened on July 12, 2019.

The canceled Spring 2021 program (through April) included a 15-day "Panama Canal Connoisseur" voyage from Florida to California (Fort Lauderdale to Los Angeles), with transition through the Panama Canal's old locks.
