Never thought such cruises exist? Well they really do, and they are actually quite popular. Golf cruises allow golf aficionados to enjoy the best of both worlds – golfing and luxury cruising. Azamara Cruises offers several golf oriented cruises each year. And if you spouse or travel partners don’t enjoy golf, there is plenty for them to do too.

Play at prestigious courses around the world, from Scotland (the birthplace of golf) to New Zealand. Azamara Cruises partners with PerryGolf, one of the leaders in worldwide luxury golf vacations. With Azamara’s focus on destination immersion, the tie up with PerryGolf makes total sense. Serious golfers are looking for an upscale country club feel, fine dining, and a relaxing sophisticated atmosphere which is exactly what Azamara Cruises offers. And on the golf side, everything is arranged for you from tee time scheduling, to making caddie arrangements, to handling your gear which is set up at each club and waiting for your arrival from the ship.
