Azamara’s shore excursions are where their famous destination immersion really comes into focus. We’ve put together a taster of Azamara shore excursions from every corner of the world...

Every keen traveller has a bucket list of epic destinations they absolutely must visit one day. Cruising is no exception.

Whether it is cruising through the Suez Canal, staying in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora, standing atop the Great Wall of China, or snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef or even visiting the beautiful islands in the Caribbean there is a bucket list cruise out there for everyone. You may have seen our Ultimate Cruise Bucket List, but if not, click here.

As of June 2020, there are 1,121 UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 167 countries around the world, including 869 cultural, 213 natural, and 39 of mixed properties. With 55 selected areas each, Italy and China are the countries which are home to the most sites on the list.

Aside from some really obvious ones, like Machu Picchu, the Great Wall of China, and the Taj Mahal for instance, we have selected our top 10 favourite UNESCO World Heritage sites which we think are unique and underrated and deserve a visit on your next cruise.

After the nightmare that has been the Covid pandemic, we are all ready to get back out there and travel.

I don’t think it’s just me thinking that now, after not being on a holiday in well over a year, instead of booking a regular holiday, why not book something epic? If we have learned anything from this ongoing situation, it’s that we cannot sit and wait for things to happen. No longer will I say “maybe I’ll go there one day” – no, I’m going to just book it!
