Guests of Azamara Cruises are now able to book dining and spas services before boarding the ship through the cruise line’s new reservation platform.
Reservations can now be pre-booked for specialty dining experiences at Prime C, the cruise line’s signature steakhouse; Aqualina, offering refined Italian cuisine; or Chef’s Table, an elegant, wine-paired six-course dining experience.
Dining reservations can be made through travel advisors, Azamara’s call centre, and Azamara.com, opening 150 days before embarkation for suite guests and Azamara Circle loyalty members (Discoverers and above), and 140 days prior for all other guests. This booking window applies to dining only.
Spa reservations may be booked up to 12 months in advance through travel advisors and the call centre, with online booking via Azamara.com launching in early 2026.
“True hospitality begins before a guest even steps on board,” said Simon Blacoe, Vice President of Hotel Operations at Azamara Cruises. “Our guests told us they wanted more flexibility in planning their dining experiences, and this new pre-cruise reservations program delivers exactly that – giving them more time to anticipate their voyage and less to worry about once they’re on board.”
These updates come as part of Azamara Cruises’ broader initiative to simplify and enhance the guest experience. The cruise line has recently also refreshed its digital booking tools, guests can now more easily manage their reservations online — including accessing their booking directly through Azamara.com, selecting and adding shore excursions or onboard items, and applying onboard credits during checkout. Pre-booked guests can also now select their preferred stateroom at booking or change to another available stateroom post-booking, offering greater control and customisation throughout their planning process.
“Every enhancement we make, from our culinary offerings to our digital experience — is guided by guest feedback,” added Blacoe. “This is another step toward ensuring that, from the moment a customer books, they feel completely taken care of.”
The new pre-cruise reservation capabilities will roll out from 1 December 2025, across the fleet in phases, with availability expanding throughout the month.
