Itinerary Map

Itinerary Highlights

Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Hong Kong is neon lights, mountains and beaches, junk boats and yachts, street markets and high-end malls, and an unbelievable array of skyscrapers, all designed with the essential input of feng shui.

Taipei (Keelung), Taiwan
There are two facets to Taipei: the modern, international east side with its upscale malls, chic stores and trendy restaurants, and the west bastion of traditional life, its narrow lanes lined with vendor stalls.

Hirara, Miyako Island, Japan
Hirara offers a tranquil escape with its serene beaches, laid-back atmosphere, and unique cultural attractions. Unwind on stunning stretches of sand like Yonaha Maehama Beach and Sunayama Beach, known for their crystal-clear waters and picturesque landscapes. Explore the charming town center with its quaint shops, local eateries serving Miyako soba and seafood delicacies, and vibrant markets offering fresh produce and handicrafts.

Naha, Okinawa, Japan
Naha, Okinawa, invites travelers with its blend of Ryukyuan history, pristine beaches like Naminoue Beach, distinctive cuisine featuring Okinawa soba and taco rice, bustling Kokusai Dori shopping street, traditional Eisa dance performances, and nearby natural wonders such as the Kerama Islands. Visit historic sites like Shuri Castle, and explore the warm hospitality of this vibrant city for an unforgettable journey in Japan's southernmost prefecture.

Kochi, Japan
Kōchi is a city with a well-earned reputation for having a good time. Begin your visit with a trip to Kōchi Castle, one of only 12 original castles still standing in Japan. After you work up your appetite, try Sawachi cuisine, including Kōchi’s signature dish, katsuo no tataki (seared bonito). Wash it down with a shōchū with the locals.

Kobe, Japan
Famous for the beef that bears its name, the port city of Kobe is also a short bullet train ride from Kyoto, the ancient capital renowned for countless temples, shrines and castles of shoguns and emperors.

Your ship: Azamara Pursuit 

Azamara Pursuit offers an intimate cruising experience designed for destination-focused journeys. Its smaller size allows it to visit ports that may be inaccessible to larger ships, while guests can enjoy comfortable accommodation, varied dining, relaxing public spaces and evening entertainment onboard.

Dining Experiences

Relaxation & Wellness
Spend time relaxing beside the pool or visit the onboard spa for a selection of treatments. Guests can also stay active at the fitness centre or simply enjoy the ship’s outdoor decks and ocean surroundings.

Entertainment & Social Spaces
The Cabaret Lounge presents professional live performances and musical entertainment. During the day and evening, guests can also relax, read or meet fellow travellers in the ship’s bars, lounges and shared social spaces.

Intimate Destination Cruising
With fewer guests and a more compact design than many larger cruise ships, Azamara Pursuit provides a relaxed onboard atmosphere while taking travellers closer to the destinations featured throughout the journey.
