Refreshed’ Azamara Quest exits drydock

Azamara Quest, the first of Azamara Club Cruises’ twin boutique ships to undergo refurbishment, has emerged from an eight-day drydock – complete with a refresh of all public spaces and staterooms and a new “Azamara Blue”hull. Named for the cruise line by Navantia Shipyard, the unique navy-blue colour tone of Azamara Quest’s hull adds to the elegance of the ship’s silhouette. Ship-wide renovations included new carpets, upholstery, and a new colour palette in public spaces reflecting; new mattresses and upgraded veranda furniture for suites and staterooms; and a resurfaced pool, and new sun loungers and pool towels on the outer decks. The Casino Bar also was expanded and enhanced with new furniture, while the Spa and fitness centre was refreshed with new steam room, showers and state-of-the-art Life Fitness cardio equipment. On the culinary front, guests can now enjoy a new caviar and champagne bar within Aqualina, one of the ship’s two specialty dining venues, as well as a new Chef’s Table concept featuring three wine degustation menus – Italian, French and Californian. At Mosaic Café, the ship’s central gathering spot, guests can purchase a freshly brewed cup of bespoke coffee. (http://www.AzamaraClubCruises.com)
