Azamara Cruises, the small-ship cruise line celebrated for late nights, overnights, and Destination Immersion, has announced a new partnership with MJM Marine, the specialist marine interior outfitter selected to execute the brand’s upcoming Azamara Forward enhancements aboard Azamara Quest. The collaboration builds on a longstanding relationship between the two companies, following MJM Marine’s previous work on the refit of Azamara Pursuit. Known for delivering complex marine interior projects for some of the world’s leading cruise lines, MJM Marine will once again partner with Azamara Cruises to bring the next phase of the brand’s fleet evolution to life.
Azamara Forward represents the cruise line’s largest fleetwide renovation to date. Designed to thoughtfully elevate the onboard experience while honoring the hallmarks that have long defined the brand, the initiative includes a range of ship-wide enhancements – from refreshed staterooms and redesigned public spaces to new dining concepts and reimagined social venues. Debuting exclusively aboard Azamara Quest is an entirely new Penthouse Deck featuring 12 new suites, marking a significant expansion for the ship.
“This partnership with MJM Marine reflects our commitment to thoughtfully evolving the Azamara Cruises experience while delivering the highest-quality enhancements for our guests,” said Dondra Ritzenthaler, CEO of Azamara Cruises. “Their deep understanding of our brand and our standards made them the natural choice to support the Azamara Forward program. Together, we are excited to bring the next phase of our fleet’s transformation to life, creating new spaces that will deepen connection to both the ship and the destinations our guests explore.”
“We are delighted to continue our relationship with Azamara Cruises on this important project for Azamara Quest,” said Gary Annett, CEO of MJM Marine. “Our previous work together on Azamara Pursuit established a strong foundation upon which to build, and this latest collaboration reflects the trust and confidence between both teams. We look forward to delivering a successful outcome and helping bring Azamara Forward to life.”
Azamara Quest marks the first ship in the fleet to undergo the Azamara Forward enhancements, with Azamara Onward slated to follow in 2027 and updates to Azamara Journey and Azamara Pursuit to be announced at a later date.
