Six dining venues let you enjoy a wide range of gourmet meals, which include standard wines and beers. Azamara Journey provides a truly luxurious cruise ITINERARY experience for enjoying the Mediterranean and the Monaco Grand Prix.
In keeping with our friendly yet sophisticated on-board environment, we encourage guests to follow a resort casual dress code.

If you prefer to dress more formally, you are welcome to do so.
