Azamara Targets Up-Market Travelers with Land Tours

The number 13 may be lucky for Azamara Club Cruises. That's how many land-tour itineraries the cruise line has developed for 2011-2012. The itineraries are combinable with an Azamara cruise for cruisetour packages and offer more authentic cultural experiences for the up-market traveler. Each adventure ranges from two to six nights and are in such cities as Rome, Athens and Istanbul. All land-tour itineraries are escorted by a tour director or a local host, and feature accommodations in five-star hotels.

These itineraries are very much geared for upscale travelers, says Larry Pimentel, president and CEO of Azamara Club Cruises. “The introduction of these new offerings will enable up-market travelers to enjoy an even more immersive adventure with Azamara. Guests have more opportunities to experience the cultures of exotic destinations by extending their Azamara voyage with a land-tour itinerary."
