Cruise Ships in Japan : Azamara Pursuit

A voyage on Azamara Pursuit is all about making the most of your time both at sea and on land. As a smaller ship, it’s able to take you right to the heart of a destination and give you longer onshore at each one. Meanwhile, the extensive on-board facilities mean you’ll have plenty to entertain you between stops.

Not only can Azamara Pursuit access narrower waterways and smaller ports than larger vessels, it also spends longer in destinations than many other ships. This allows you to explore the places you visit at a more leisurely pace, with a selection of carefully curated onshore experiences available to choose from.

On board, you’ll find the decor elegant and modern, the staterooms and suites comfortable, and the service first-class. There’s also a wide variety of dining options on offer, from high-end restaurants to casual cafés and on-deck eateries.

During days at sea, you could relax in the Sanctum Spa, sunbathe on a lounger beside the pool, or attend a sunset yoga class. Alternatively, head to the Den Lounge to browse travel guides and get excited about your next port of call. After dark, the Cabaret Lounge comes alive with music performances and magic shows, while the bars and lounges provide quieter spots for conversation over drinks.

Cabins

Azamara Pursuit offers a selection of staterooms and suites, all elegantly decorated in neutral tones and equipped with a range of amenities. You can choose between interior staterooms and those with an ocean view, or opt for one with a private balcony. Suites are larger and all feature balconies, while some also have separate living rooms.
