Azamara emphasizes sustainable travel through advanced wastewater treatment and recycling programs. Energy-efficient systems like LED lighting and smart air conditioning help minimize the ship’s carbon footprint. Low-drag hull coatings further reduce fuel consumption.
Smoking, including e-cigarettes, is limited to designated outdoor areas on the port side of the pool deck. All cabins, balconies, and indoor spaces are smoke-free zones for the comfort of all guests.
Guests are welcome to bring one bottle of wine or champagne per person at embarkation, with a $10 corkage fee if consumed in public areas. Alcohol purchased during excursions or onboard is stored and delivered at the end of the voyage. The drinking age is 21 in North America and 18 elsewhere.
Mandatory safety drills are held before departure, ensuring guests are familiar with emergency procedures. Life jackets are available in all cabins, with children's jackets provided upon request. Safety instructions and assembly points are listed inside each stateroom.
English is the primary language onboard, but support is available in Spanish, German, and French for added convenience.
Guests using credit cards enjoy express check-out, with no further action required. Cash payments require a deposit at embarkation, with the balance settled before disembarkation. Longer voyages offer segmented billing for convenience.
While in Spanish waters, a 10% VAT applies to dining and room service. For EU cruises, VAT is charged on gift shop purchases, spa products, and photo galleries, but not on services. Alcohol and tobacco purchases may have restrictions, with updates provided through the ship’s newsletter.
