Forget the tourist traps and overcrowded hotspots, with Azamara Club Cruises couples can experience the best of both worlds: an up-market boutique cruise line visiting remote and cultural destinations worldwide. And as if that couldn’t get sweeter, it’s foodie focused!

The new Cruise Global, Eat Local program boasts meals at a deliciously curated selection of restaurants so couples can eat where the locals like to eat.

Kicking off in Europe this summer, the program has lined up 35 restaurant recommendations across 27 European ports including La Gomera, Canary Islands, Split, Croatia, Santorini, Greece, Sorrento, Italy, Barcelona, Spain and Marseille, France. Each of the stops will offer a local dining experience to get a taste of local culture.

There are three ways to enjoy this experience:

1. Pair lunch with a tour – Following select half-day excursions, coaches journey to the selected Cruise Global, Eat Local restaurant for the ultimate in destination immersion dining experience

2. Take a private car – Azamara will arrange private transportation to and from the restaurant

3. Go independently – Azamara will help the guest select a restaurant to enjoy

Azamara will also be gracing the shores of Australia later this year, offering five voyages stopping in a number of ports such as Darwin, Newcastle and Cairns.
