Azamara Gives Guests a Taste of New Atlas Bar Across Its Entire Fleet
Guests aboard Azamara’s four vessels can now experience artisanal cocktails from Azamara Onward’s exclusive new venue
MIAMI – August 16, 2022 – Following the launch of Azamara Onward this spring, Azamara – the upmarket cruise line and leader in Destination Immersion® experiences – is excited to bring a taste of the ship’s exclusive Atlas Bar to the rest of the Azamara fleet. Beginning August 2022, guests aboard any Azamara voyage can enjoy the “Atlas Bar Experience,” offering some of the specialty venue’s most popular destination-inspired libations in The Den.
Atlas Bar debuted this spring as an exclusive addition to Azamara’s latest ship, Azamara Onward. The specialty venue brings a unique concept onboard, offering innovative artisanal cocktails inspired by a variety of unique destinations visited by Azamara ships. Fresh squeezed juices and handmade syrups elevate the flavors of the curated list of cocktails, which can be paired with an exotic premium menu of small plates served hot and cold, including beef tartare topped with caviar and shaved truffle, smoked lobster crudo, and more.
“The response from our guests about Atlas Bar has been even more positive than we had anticipated. The designer created a beautiful space that really complements the cocktail and food menus that our food and beverage team worked so hard to perfect. I couldn’t be more proud of the team’s work here, and we wanted to be able to offer the experience on our other ships, even if we didn’t have the same physical space,” said Scott Daniels, AVP of Hotel Operations for Azamara.
The “Atlas Bar Experience” will take place onboard Azamara Journey®, Azamara Pursuit®, and Azamara Quest® in The Den, a comfortable and elegant lounge equipped with travel books, guides, and destination focused activities. Azamara’s skilled bartenders will curate specialty cocktails from Atlas Bar such as the London Fog Martini, Tuscan Delight, and guest favorite, Heart of Azamara. Atlas Bar’s premium food menu remains exclusive to Azamara Onward.
Highlights of destination-inspired concoctions at Atlas Bar, perfectly paired with upcoming Azamara voyages, include:
