Azamara has marked the completion of its first Greek islands sailing as an independent company with an event onboard Azamara Quest in Rhodes.

The line has partnered with Starboard Cruise Services to provide a destination-tailored retail program, offering touchpoints curated for each Azamara voyage

Royal Caribbean sold the Azamara brand in March 2021

Hosted on the vessel’s pool deck, it featured music accompanied by an orchestra and a singer and each guest was given a local gift bag which included Greek olive oil, olive soap and oregano.
 
The voyage included a "Tracing the Origins of Zorba" itinerary, which took guests outside the walls of Heraklion to Myrtia to learn about the life of Nikos Kazantzakis, Cretan writer and philosopher who was famous for his novel, Zorba the Greek.
