The vessel, which is due to launch next month with a christening and maiden voyage from Monte Carlo to Venice, will offer guests additions to its onboard venues and luxury retail spaces, as well as refreshed accommodations and new entertainment options. 

It includes Atlas Bar, a specialty venue new to the Azamara brand, which offers artisanal cocktails created using the latest techniques, from smoking domes to nitro-infusions. Onward will also feature an addition to its specialty restaurant, Aqualina, with a new chef’s table. 

A new retail programme will "bring destination immersion to life" with a standalone destination shop featuring goods from Spain, Italy, Greece, France and Portugal for Onward’s inaugural season in the Mediterranean. 

The vessel’s staterooms and suites will offer 24-hour room service and ocean views, as well as slippers, bath products and fresh flowers upon arrival in the staterooms.

The ship will also offer four new shows; Club Crooner, Amped Up, Wanderlust and Groove Tonight, which features a psychedelic disco soundtrack.

Carol Cabezas, president of Azamara, said destination immersion "has always been our main priority".

"This is an exciting time for Azamara, and we are thrilled to be welcoming guests on our new ship in just a couple weeks," she added.

"We are delighted to be bringing inspiration from the Mediterranean and beyond to all our onboard offerings and experiences for guests to connect with the culture of each port, even while we are at sea."
