Western Africa Cruise: Senegal, Gambia & Namibia

Life isn’t a 9 to 5 experience. Azamara voyages aren’t either.

When you’re in the midst of some of the most dazzling cities, renowned UNESCO World Heritage sites, and “I can’t believe we’re here!” hidden gems on Earth, the last thing you want to do is rush back to the ship for a 4:00 p.m. departure (or 5:00 p.m., if you’re lucky).

Well, here at Azamara®, we not only take you to awe-inspiring destinations, we also give you more time to fall in love with them. We call them Destination Immersion® experiences, and we’ve evolved the concept so you can Explore Further than before, both onboard and on shore.

Our unparalleled destinations allow you to cruise global and immerse yourself in fascinating cultures all over the globe, all while enjoying authentic service on your boutique hotel at sea.

Your quest to learn continues with destination lecturers offering their expertise throughout each voyage with Azamara®. These leading destination experts will participate in a range of programs, classes, and lecture series throughout your voyage — all created with our incredible destinations in mind. They’ll also partake in Q&A sessions, and you may even see them around the ship or on shore excursion!

Discover our next destination before we dock, learn insider tips to make your time exploring each port of call memorable, and enjoy thought-provoking and entertaining programs hosted by Azamara’s onboard experts.On select sailings of 10 nights or more, we will welcome a Special Interest Lecturer aboard to provide unique expertise on a range of subjects.
