About Azamara Pursuit

Azamara Pursuit is a small R-class cruise ship operated by Azamara. Built in Saint-Nazaire in 2001 as R Eight, she later sailed as Minerva II, Royal Princess, and Adonia before joining Azamara in 2018. Her 702-guest, eight-deck layout is designed for a more intimate onboard scale than large resort ships, combining multiple dining venues, a pool deck, spa, fitness center, lounges, and a Cabaret Lounge. The ship underwent a listed refurbishment in 2024.
