LONDON – Azamara Cruises – the small-ship cruise line renowned for Destination Immersion and Extended Destination Days – celebrated a historic moment as its latest ship, Azamara Onward, made its maiden call to Easter Island during its World Cruise 2024. This marked the cruise line’s first-ever call to the remote island, known for its mysterious moai statues and rich history.
Passengers aboard Azamara Onward were able to discover Easter Island’s impressive volcanoes, lush grasslands and, of course, majestic moai statues – of which there are nearly 1,000 scattered throughout the island. Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, may be one of the most isolated places in the world, but locals welcomed Azamara guests with open arms, inviting them to learn more about the island’s traditions, cuisine and way of life.
