Azamara Pursuit Cabins

After acquiring the vessel in 2018, Azamara invested heavily in the ship's 351 cabins. Only the closets and vanities remain from the original structure, and care went into choosing super-comfy bedding, padded headboards, and lovely couches and night tables.

There's a wide range of cabins at different price points, ranging from insides to large suites; most notably the pair of Spa Suites that were added during the refit. There ship also has two-room suites.

Because the ship was built in 2001, cabins are generally fairly snug. The neutral color schemes, relying heavily on beiges and creams along with soft grays, provide a bright and contemporary look There are seven accessible cabins; three interior, two oceanview and two Club Continent Suites -- and these have wider doors, roll-in showers, grab bars and enough turning space for wheelchair users and passengers with walkers.

What to Expect in Rooms on Azamara Pursuit

All cabins include flat-screen TVs, mini-bars, desks, in-room safes, hair dryers, bathrobes and slippers, 24-hour room service, flowers, a tote bag, and turn-down treats like chocolates and truffles. A clever amenity are the USB ports in the lights on either side of the bed, so passengers can easily charge their phones or other devices.

The ship has a smattering of connecting cabins in multiple cabin categories. A number of cabins also feature convertible sofa beds, making them ideal for families. Suites can accommodate rollaway beds.

Cabin Bathrooms on Azamara Pursuit

Bathrooms also are on the small side, but well-appointed with storage space. Toiletries include shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, soap bar and lotion. For most cabins, showers are a squeeze and feature curtains that cling to your body once you start the spray; they aren't weighted at the bottom so are especially inclined to reach out and grab you. The accessible staterooms have roll-in showers for wheelchairs and grab rails.

Cabins to Avoid on Azamara Pursuit

If you're planning to book a cabin on Decks 4, 6 or 8 study the deck plan in advance. Some of them are situated directly above or below busy public areas such as the galley, cabaret lounge and pool deck. The Oceanview cabins on Deck 6 also have obstructed views from the lifeboats.

It's also worth noting that the 79 Club Oceanview cabins are the smallest on the ship; all 143 square feet aside from the four category 04 staterooms which are 215 square feet. So, if you don't mind foregoing a view, at 158 square feet the 26 interior cabins are bigger. Alternatively, check out our favorite cabins below.
