The BEST VALUE Luxury Cruise Ship in 2025? We Check Out Azamara!

This episode, in our Cruise Diary Edition we're on a boutique luxury cruise from historic Rome, sailing along the gorgeous Italian Riviera, up to glitzy Monte Carlo! #azamara #cruise #review This is Part Two of our series, ' A Day in the Life ' : testing out affordable luxury Cruising. We're aboard Azamara Cruises, and their ship The Pursuit. Which offers a near 'All Inclusive Experience', with complimentary drinks and cocktails, fine dining, and fun evenings under the stars. We want to find out if you can still get amazing service, a choice of gourmet dining, cocktails and canapés,... all at a price which is affordable. You can watch the First Episode here: https://youtu.be/rUtsE6XV6YM You can watch our video on the Celebrity Ascent Here : https://youtu.be/tRcCyJ2_iVc We ask: in terms of value... is this the Best Luxury Cruise in the World? In that first episode we gave you The Full Ship Guide and Review, showing you all that Azamara has to offer. THIS episode is the Cruise Diary, the fun one, where we go behind the scenes, to show you a day in the life of how it would be for you on Azamara. Finding a cruise line that is going the opposite direction of almost everybody else is quite unusual. By that I mean a return the traditional style of cruising. And that's exactly the subject of this video. We'll show you what its like for 1 week, aboard one of the world's luxury cruise lines. We'll also show you some of the ports of call, so you can decide if you would like cruising round this particular part of the world. We were in the Italian Riviera. Which is absolutely gorgeous. So this is a 7 night Diary, in a balcony cabin. We'll show you their infamous White Night, immersion evenings. The Captain had a standoff with The Italian coast guard, and we weren't even certain if we were going ashore... or not, and well dissect and rate the food on offer! As ever, we'll be as honest and straight as we can, nobody has paid us to give this review, these are entirely our own opinions. Episode Highlights 1. Who is Azamara 2. the fleet of Ships 3.
