Prepare for a journey that spans history and horizon. Departing on August 2, 2026, the Azamara Onward sets sail from the ancient cradle of Athens for an 11-night odyssey through the very best of the Mediterranean.

This isn't just a cruise; it is a meticulously curated voyage designed for the culturally curious, featuring late-night stays and a rare opportunity to witness a Solar Eclipse from the serene vantage point of the sea.

Itinerary Highlights: Athens to Barcelona
From the white-washed cliffs of Greece to the vibrant boulevards of Spain, your path follows the sun across the most iconic coastlines in the world.

Ephesus (Kuadas), Turkey: Step back into antiquity at one of the best-preserved Roman cities in the world.

Heraklion, Crete: Discover the Minoan secrets of the Palace of Knossos.

Taormina, Sicily: Wander through the Greco-Roman theater with the smoking peak of Mt. Etna as your backdrop.

The Amalfi Coast & Rome: Savor a sunset in Sorrento and explore the eternal wonders of the Vatican and Colosseum.

The French Riviera: Bask in the glitz of Nice and the coastal charm of Toulon.

Barcelona, Spain: Conclude your journey in the shadow of Gaudí’s architectural masterpieces.

The Azamara Experience

Onboard the Azamara Onward, luxury is personal. With a capacity of just 692 guests, the ship feels like a private boutique hotel where the staff knows your name and your preferences.

Feature What to Expect
Destination Immersion® Longer stays in port so you can experience the nightlife, not just the lunch spots.

Gourmet Dining From the authentic Italian flavors of Aqualina to the classic steakhouse vibes of Prime C.

Inclusive Amenities Enjoy complimentary gratuities, select beverages (spirits, beers, and wines), and an exclusive AzAmazing Evening event.

Intimate Atmosphere No crowds or long lines—just elegant lounges, a refreshing pool, and a world-class spa.

A Rare Celestial Event
The hallmark of this specific sailing is the Solar Eclipse. Imagine standing on the deck, a cool Mediterranean breeze in the air, as the moon passes before the sun, casting a surreal shadow over the turquoise waters. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime moment shared with a small group of fellow explorers.

Travel Tip: This is a one-time-only route for the Onward in 2026. Because of the Solar Eclipse event, staterooms (especially those with balconies) are expected to fill quickly.
