Refits, Reefs, and Epic Voyages

Azamara Quest enters drydock on October 31, 2026 for the first refit under Azamara's $80 million Azamara Forward program, gaining a Penthouse Suite Deck with 12 new suites, a Chef's Table, updates to the Atlas Bar, Discoveries Restaurant and Cabaret Lounge, an expanded THESANCTUM spa, and a complete refresh of all 352 staterooms before the ship returns to service on November 26. In Ibiza, the MSC Foundation and Asociación Vellmari have launched Shallow Bays of the Mediterranean, a three-year project running from August 2026 to July 2029 that aims to plant 170,000 to 180,000 Posidonia oceanica plants and restore roughly 20,000 square metres of degraded habitat in Talamanca Bay, while reaching 6,000 students across 30 education centres and involving about 600 volunteers. And Atlas Ocean Voyages has added four extended sailings to Atlas Adventurer's debut season, led by the 128-night Grand Odyssey Expedition from Kobe to Cape Town departing November 30, 2028.
