Azamara has revealed details of its longest world cruise yet for 2027.
Passengers can now book cabins on the small-ship brand’s 188-night world cruise, which visits 37 countries, 103 destinations and five continents.
Departing from San Francisco on 5 January 2027 aboard the 710-capacity Azamara Quest, the luxury cruise heads to Hawaii before turning south to New Zealand, Tasmania and the southern coast of Australia.
Passengers will then spend two months exploring Asia before crossing the Pacific Ocean to Alaska, where the ship will begin cruising around North America.

The voyage also takes in the Panama Canal and South America.
The final leg of the cruise will take passengers on a transatlantic voyage to northern Europe, visiting the UK, Ireland, Germany, Latvia, Estonia and Sweden before finishing in Copenhagen, Denmark on 12 July.
The sailing features 50 late-night stays and 15 overnight stops in destinations including Tokyo in Japan and Cartagena in Colombia, giving cruisers more time to explore.
The ship uses its size to access smaller ports such as transiting the Kiel Canal in Germany or cruising into the heart of Shanghai to dock right at The Bund.
Prices start from £41,059 per person for an interior cabin.
Fares include $8,500 (£6,921) onboard credit, 15 exclusive events, a premium beverage package, wifi, unlimited wash-and-fold laundry, onboard medical consultations, airfare credit, a one-night hotel stay and transfers.

Dondra Ritzenthaler, chief executive of Azamara Cruises, said: “For our 2027 world cruise, we’ve created an incredible route that will bring our guests to the doorsteps of sought-after destinations around the world.“Imagine sailing as far south as Stewart Island, New Zealand, and as far north as Helsinki, Finland, all in one cruise.
“We are stopping to see the world’s most beautiful skylines and bridges. It will really be a remarkable, unforgettable journey – one that I hope our long-time friends and brand-new friends will jump on.”
The sailing is longer than Azamara’s 2025 world cruise that departed this month for a 155-night voyage. But it is still shorter than the longest world cruise, which is offered by Royal Caribbean and lasts 274 days.
