Azamara Cruises has launched its 2025 Travel Advisor Celebration, running from Sept. 1 through Oct. 31, to recognize travel professionals with exclusive tools, incentives and rewards.

The celebration features the introduction of a new Azamara World Academy chapter called “Destination Immersion,” which provides training on the cruise line’s signature experiences, including longer stays, cultural connections and bespoke excursions.

“At Azamara Cruises, travel advisors are the driving force behind our continued growth,” said Michelle Lardizabal, chief sales officer, North America, for Azamara. “Their expertise, passion and dedication shape the Azamara experience. With initiatives like the Azamara World Academy, our new Destination Immersion training and expanded commission opportunities, we’re proud to honor their contributions and empower their ongoing success with meaningful rewards and resources.”

The new “Destination Immersion” chapter highlights several program expansions. Azamara is expanding from six to 22 experiences, encompassing the Monaco Grand Prix and British Open. The cruise line now offers over 13,500 shore experiences, with 246 evening and overnight options. Additionally, 34 new AzAmazing Evenings and Stories Under the Stars featuring Destination Speakers have been added to onboard programming. Food and beverage offerings have been enhanced with 150 new regional entrees; 21 local beers; and Destination Showcase, a poolside party full of cuisine and culture.
