Your Experience

Set sail on the luxurious, 5-star Azamara Journey for an exquisite voyage across the Aegean Sea. Take in blue seas and beautiful scenery from the deck or your own private balcony, then go ashore and immerse yourself in the rich culture and history of the region. Visit Istanbul, Turkey’s largest metropolis and stroll through its world-famous grand Bazaar. Relax at the beach—Kusadasi has an average of 300 days of sunshine a year—or take in the Roman ruins at Ephesus. Whether you set out to explore a maze of tiny streets, wonder at the volcanic beginnings of a tiny island, or see the mythical birthplace of Apollo, the possibilities are endless. Visiting the Mediterranean with the women of Olivia is the best way to ensure you are free to be yourself 24/7, and that every activity is created with our community in mind. This is a relaxed cruise experience—a pace that allows you to savor every minute of your Mediterranean escape.

Your Activities

When you're not out taking in the rich history and culture of Greece and Turkey—think ancient Roman ruins, a 4,000-stall bazaar, and authentic Turkish baths—you’ll have a chance to relax onboard, hear about the regions you are visiting, and chat and laugh with the women of Olivia. Whether you book a spa treatment, relax on the deck with a book, or take part in great Olivia programming, your stress will magically melt away, replaced by a feeling of wellbeing born of new friends and new adventures. Evenings are the perfect time for cocktails and a music or comedy show, an Olivia “Toga” party, or to just sit back and watch the sun set in a fiery blaze.
