Discover the Greek Isles with Olivia
Olivia brings you the BEST of the Greek Isles on this exciting 7-night luxury cruise beginning and ending in Athens. With histories and cultures spanning more than 2,000 years, it’s no wonder that Greece and Turkey are must-see countries.
Relax onboard the 5-star Azamara Onward while you watch the breathtaking Santorini sunset; travel back in time in the vibrant Crete; wonder at the ancient cities of Ephesus (Kusadasi), Turkey; sunbathe on the idyllic beaches in Mykonos; and feel the medieval presence in picturesque Syros.
Activity Level
This trip requires good to moderate mobility, as many of the ports of call offer excursions with a lot of walking over uneven surfaces such as cobblestone, rocky paths, up and down hills and stairs. There are elevators on board the ship. In anchored ports of call, you will be required to go up and down stairs to reach the tender boat platform to disembark the ship. If you have limited mobility, you are required to travel with someone who can assist you.

- Discoveries Restaurant
Open seating and stellar nightly selections, the main dining room is not to be missed. Discover the world through dishes and flavors from the places we visit. You'll find your classic dinner favorites, with a deliciously different twist, like gulf shrimp with cognac and garlic or a filet mignon with black truffle sauce. With its elegant yet lively dining and renewed décor, it’s easy to see why this restaurant is a hands-down favorite, the culinary heart of the ship. Gather at Discoveries Bar for drinks before or after dinner. - Mosaic Café
Comfortable and stylish, Mosaic is the place where you’ll find your favorite coffee drinks, just the way you like. Try the Nespresso specialty coffee (for a fee). Slip into a comfortable seat and sip for a while. The perfect place to start or end your day. - Windows Café
The daily themed dinner often takes its inspiration from the region we’re visiting. Enjoy an extra live station made from local ingredients purchased in port: Greek salad made with local feta (Greece) or pasta prepared with local mushrooms (Italy). Take in the fresh breeze at an outdoor table and relax in the easy and casual atmosphere of the newly renovated Windows Café. Enjoy an intimate breakfast, lunch, or dinner. And speaking of choices, selections change daily. Choose from fresh sushi, stir-fry and pasta, salads, smoked lox and other cold fish, a carving station and of course, desserts. - Sunset Veranda
- The Patio and Swirl & Top
Casual “pool grill” by day. Then, fine tablecloths and flickering candles will set the mood for a sit-down al fresco dining experience by night. Taste your way around the world with exclusive personalized dishes using local flavors of the places we visit on our Destination Immersion® cuisine dinner menu served by our professional wait staff. And for a little touch of whimsy, a self-serve frozen yogurt station—Swirl & Top. With a variety of flavors and your choice of toppings, it’s the perfect way to cool off during the day or end your evening meal. - Aqualina*
One of the on-board specialty restaurants. At Aqualina, you’ll find some of Italy’s most celebrated dishes. But you’ll also find contemporary inventive cuisine. Start with lobster ravioli, followed by arugula and radicchio with prosciutto chips, and a Venetian seafood platter. You won’t be able to say no to the famous desserts: marsala custard, lemon soufflé, or tiramisu. Azamara chefs love to be inspired, so after an on shore visit to a local market, you can also expect a delectable dish so local, you’ll feel like you’re not onboard anymore. - Prime C*
One of the on-board specialty restaurants. Steaks cooked to perfection. Crab cakes with remoulade. Lobster bisque. Lamb, game hens and seafood. And last but certainly not least, the famous mini cinnamon-sugar donuts with dipping sauces for dessert. (Yes, they are as good as they sound.) But at Prime C, you’re in for more than an array of delectable dining. Expect a marvelous evening in a warm wood-paneled ambiance with stunning views and lush décor. And, if the chef has made a visit to a local market while we’re in port, you’ll also have an authentic local dish to look forward to, made just for you. - 24-hour In-Room Dining
