Saw the Quest in SF over the wknd...

[cruiserforlife]

...my wife and I were walking along the embarcadero headed towards Fisherman's Wharf and noticed the Quest, we had to do a bit of research just to figure out what line it was! :o

 

Was in Pier 35 as the usual cruise pier, can anyone tell me what ship this was with previously or originally? :confused:

The Quest is one of the Azamara ships. There are two - the Quest & Journey - & they are small to mid size luxury ships that compete for passengers with Oceania & Seabourn among other lines.

 

Great ships to sail on! Get on board next time you see the Quest or Journey!

Hi cruiserforlife, Azamara's two ships, Quest and Journey, were originally two of 8 identical ships owned by Renaissance(sp) Cruise Line. It went out of

business some years ago - can't remember when - and the other ships were bought by Princess, Oceania, P & O, and Celebrity/Azamara. I can't remember

if any other lines purchased them.

 

Anyway, Azamara's two ships and crews are wonderful - never been on any of the ex-Renaissance Line ships, so I have no idea what they are like.

Oops! Meant to say - never been on any of the other ex-Renaissance

Line ships.

Correct. We were on board and had a wonderful time in San Francisco. The weather was perfect. Great cruise

The Quest is a wonderful ship...good size and lots of overnights in ports. Sailed on her twice.

 

Azamara Quest is an R-class cruise ship that entered service for Azamara Cruises on October 24, 2007. She was built in 2000 for Renaissance Cruises as R Seven. Following the collapse of Renaissance Cruises in 2001 she was laid up for two years, until chartered to the Germany-based Delphin Seereisen as Delphin Renaissance. In 2006 she was sold to the Spain-based Pullmantur Cruises and renamed Blue Moon. She sailed for Pullmantur until 2007 when she was transferred to Azamara.

I was on the Azamara Quest Feb 10-18 docked in San Francisco for 3 days. This ship is usually in the Mediterranean. Small (755 Passenger) but nicer class ship. This cruise included all wine, spirits, specialty coffees, gratuities and even a free shore excursion that took us to Inglenook Vineyard owned by Francis Ford Coppola. Provided free shuttle service in ports also. There are only 2 ships in the fleet. The other one being the Journey. They recently partnered with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival

It was a nice change from the crowded, noisy ships.
