Travelswithmycamera Posted May 2 #1 Share Posted May 2 Good day everyone, I have just booked my first Azamara cruise for August 2025 and paid the deposit. I cannot view any excursions and am assuming it is due to the the cruise being so far into 2025. I have read other posts on cruisers having difficulty accessing excursions and would like to know when I can expect them to be available to book. I have followed suggestions listed here. Also on my reservation document there is a place to enter a "Booking Code" which I cannot locate. I have a reservation number but no other numbers or codes. Also the itinerary currently shows departure from Chioggia however a cruisetimetable site listed the cruise as departing from Marghera. I suppose once again the cruise is too far in the future to confirm a depature port. Thank you for your assistance in answering my queries.

marinaro44 Posted May 2 #2 Share Posted May 2 "Booking code" is likely your reservation number. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Cruising Posted May 2 #3 Share Posted May 2 (edited) Firstly your Reservation number is your booking code, that is what you should enter when setting up your Azamara Account. Once you have set up your account, you should see Upcoming Cruises. Click on that then on Manage my Reservation. After that scroll down to Shore Excursions, then click on the paper/pencil icon on the right. That will show any available excursions (although as your cruise is not for well over a year, there may not yet be too many available). Think you may be right that it’s possibly too early to confirm the departure port. Edited May 2 by Grandma Cruising 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travelswithmycamera Posted May 2 Author #4 Share Posted May 2 Thank you, something worked as I was able to access the few excursions that are available although it said my booking number was invalid. This site is quite a departure from my previous sailings with Viking. This board is invaluable so far and I've only been booked for 4 days!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted May 2 #6 Share Posted May 2 My Journey cruise for Sept. 6, 2025 still shows no excursions available. I assume it's just too far out. So I looked up earlier Azamara cruises going to my ports and made a list of what I can expect to see when they post them. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cayman09 Posted May 2 #7 Share Posted May 2 I'm booked on an April 2025 Italy Intensive and asked for a PDF of excursions. Only the first port, Livorno was available and the AZ rep said no others were sales until 220 days out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
takemewithyou Posted May 2 #8 Share Posted May 2 I am seeing some crazy prices on excursions for 12/2024 cruise. Like Catamaran trip that costs $5000 pp! And accessible tours that cost $900 pp! I keep checking back, but the prices have not been corrected…… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travelswithmycamera Posted May 2 Author #10 Share Posted May 2 Yikes I hope we are an independent sailing group and can arrange our own tours in groups or otherwise. In the meantime I will continue to enjoy the board conversations and information on Azamara Onward Med sailings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sites like CruiseMapper and CruiseTimetables are just aggregators that scrape information from the rest of the Internet and are often neither accurate nor up to date. If Azamara are saying Chioggia, then it's highly likely that they will have booked the berth and that's where you'll be docking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJCM Posted May 3 #12 Share Posted May 3 As Jazzbeau suggests look for a similar itinerary this year and check out its excursions - they’re likely to be pretty much the same, just more expensive next year. Either start or wait for a Roll Call in cruise critic. Azamara Roll Call is usually very active with fellow cruisers sharing info and looking for like minded people for private excursions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can arrange your own tours, which you probably will find beneficial as you are traveling as a group. I expect you may find the same though, that it is too far out and many tour guides/ companies are not offering anything yet.

Travelswithmycamera Posted May 3 Author #14 Share Posted May 3 Thank you all again. I have done several independent tours on my Viking sailings however I have never booked a cruise over a year in advance. I'll have so much fun over the next year!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mare s. Posted May 3 #15 Share Posted May 3 I have a cruise coming up in six weeks and wanted to compare Azamara's excursion prices to some independent tours. But now, although I can see the excursions, I cannot see any prices! I have tried a couple of ways to try to access the excursions, but I still see just a description and no price. Any suggestions?? (btw, I did manage to see prices some weeks ago, when I purchased one as part of the OBC shore excursions credit.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have noticed, on our cruises coming up this month (!!!) that there are excursions showing with no prices; they are the ones that have sold out. Available ones are still showing prices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemusicnut Posted May 11 #19 Share Posted May 11 For our cruise, Springtime Wonders, I see no prices for any excursion. Surely, they can’t all be sold,out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
