Azamara has revealed the name and vessel handover of its new ship, Azamara Onward. The vessel switched ownership from Royal Caribbean Group to Sycamore Partners last week, coinciding with Azamara’s transition into an independent brand and cruise company.The ship previously operated under the Princess Cruises’ brand as Pacific Princess before being acquired by Sycamore Partners in late January 2021.

Azamara’s new owner, Sycamore Partners, hasn’t wasted any time in coming good on its commitment to invest in the boutique small ship operator.

Royal Caribbean Group has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Azamara brand to Sycamore Partners, a private equity firm specialising in consumer, retail and distribution investments.

Azamara has extended its coronavirus operations pause until the 2021 Europe season, and return to service on 20 March 2021 for Azamara Quest’s originally scheduled 12-night Spain Country Intensive voyage, Azamara Journey’s 9 April 2021 voyage from Lisbon to Barcelona, and Azamara Pursuit’s new series of Greek Country Intensive Voyages starting on 9 May 2021.

Azamara is experiencing strong numbers as a result of their recent 2022-2023 deployment announcement and the brand’s resilient loyalty base.
