Here it is. I think the offer is now on the opening page of the UK site.

Experience three immersive back-to-back voyages around the spectacular continent of South America for the incredible price of just £4,999pp. Sail from Buenos Aires up to Rio De Janeiro for the legendary festival that is the Rio Carnival before voyaging to ‘the end of the world’, Ushuaia, the gateway to Antarctica. Then sail up the coast of Chile, gazing in awe at the stunning Chilean Fjords, up to the birthplace of the great Inca civilisation, Peru.  Finally, complete your epic adventure by sailing through the Panama Canal and heading towards Miami via the beautiful Caribbean Island of Grand Cayman. Tick off bucket list items that include exploring the majestic National Park of Torres Del Paine, swimming with sea lions at the Palomino Islands and discovering the ancient city of Chichén Itzá, once home of the mighty Mayan Empire. And if your taste for adventure is still not sated, then add on a pre voyage tour to discover one of the great wonders of the world, Machu Picchu, or the astonishing sight of the magnificent Iguazu Falls. You can experience all three voyages from just £4,999pp – plus receive $1,200 in Onboard Credit to spend! But this offer is available for just one week so don’t miss your chance to secure this once in a lifetime adventure.  Alternatively, combine two of the three voyages back to back from just £3,499pp. And Solo Travellers can also enjoy savings, as this fantastic price is available for a reduced single supplement of 175%.

Another one today about the 10% Flash Sale, highlighting a Spain intensive cruise.Sent from the UK to me in the UK. Anyone want to see it?

yes, please and thank you for both - the Spain Intensive Cruise is one we wanted to book and as I still don't get e-mails I was too late for the last special. It was there on my travel agent's website and gone the next day - and DH and I were still discussing whether to book at once or later on board "Quest" ...

On the other hand, as I'm still smarting about having paid  40% more for the imminent cruise we had booked in early spring compared to prices a few weeks later and were still deemed "ineligible" to bid for an upgrade right now perhaps I shouldn't and buy a land-based holiday in Spain for half the price.😉 On the other hand, we haven't been on "Pursuit", yet...

[Grandma Cruising]

Here’s the short cruise one

What better way to spend a long weekend than enjoying the boutique luxury of an Azamara ship? For one week only, enjoy amazing savings on two immersive short cruises in 2020. Experience the thrill of the Monaco Grand Prix on our 5-night voyage from Barcelona – and with a recent change to the itinerary, we’ll now be in the heart of Monte-Carlo for Sunday’s race day, so you will be perfectly placed to soak up the party atmosphere.

Today I got an email to the email address on which I have been receiving Azamara emails telling me that I’ve opted out of emails and asking if I want to opt in!!

It’s from the UK to me in the UK, but when I clicked through to the ‘opt in’ page it asked me what country I was from, so I think that page must be universal.

Given that getting emails from Azamara has been such an issue, I thought it was worth copying the email in this topic, so here it is.

 

We’ve noticed that you’re not currently opted in to receive mail from us – that means you’re missing out on offers, personal letters, inspiring articles, brochures and more.

All you need to do is enter your email address, select ‘Yes’ to receive special offers and news by post, then fill in your address details.   Order your 2020 brochure today! Our destination offering has been further expanded for 2020 and will be visiting destinations including South Africa, Hawaii, Bora Bora and Tahiti. On top of this, we have a wide range of Country-IntensiveSM Voyages and Land & Sea packages to experience.

Hi HGC...I forwarded this along to both our US & UK offices to look into, and had a quick response from UK team that this email is telling you that you are not opted in for our actual mailings, eg brochures in the post.

And, BTW, have a fabulous cruise!  ☀️ 🎉🍾

Quick response from team saying this notice is to those not getting mailings (post)

Ahh - that makes sense - I see I didn’t read it carefully enough! No, I don’t want any more paper, so long as I get emails. I’m happy using the on-line brochures and find Azamara’s website pretty easy to use (unlike Celebrity’s which I just can’t figure out at all).

Thanks for your swift response.

No worries...I didn’t catch that either!

Strangely enough on Saturday I got an email telling me had now signed up for emails.

 

Yesterday I got an email from the UK about Last Minute Cruise Deals. As I’m currently on Pursuit and the WiFi is slow, I’ll just copy  & paste it straight away, so here it is.

Embrace new celebrations of the Rio Carnival with us in February on our 12 night Voyage from Buenos Aires roundtrip. Alternatively, you can explore Hilo, Hawaii's ancient terrain where hot lava flows into the bright ocean below. This is just one of many ports of call on our 18 Night Hawaii & Tahiti Voyage. We also have a number of South Africa Intensive Voyages early next year including this sailing in January. These sailings are almost full, so act fast to secure your stateroom!

Hi Bonnie,

It would be nice if those of us "down under" in Australia & New Zealand also received the "special offers" that HGC receives in the UK.

Like HGC we do not desire any more paper eg brochures in the post, as we are also happy looking at brochures for individual sailings on line.

Thanks for your constant perusal of CC and "behind the scenes" activity on behalf of all Azamara cruisers. 😊

Hi Baynanno1,

Offers to your country likely would be different since managers for every country are guided by local demand and local travel marketing guidelines.

But that said, your market is super important to us and of course you should receive special offers! I have passed along your post. 

Thank you again for your loyalty ❤️❤️

Thanks Bonnie.

Smaller population = smaller demand unfortunately.
