Australia’s love affair with Greece came to the fore this week in Sydney as Azamara hosted around 60 top sellers and media to a White Night celebration at Beta Bar on Wednesday. The “AzAmazing Evening” was a carbon-copy of what guests cruising with Azamara can expect when travelling with the luxury cruise line. Regardless of the country, on every sailing Azamara takes guests on an AzAmazing Evening that reflects the culture and the style of the nation they are in. It’s the pillars of the business – connecting people to people, people to culture and people to themselves.
