Amazing Azamara Ship Journey - 8 photos

The 694-passenger, 30,277-ton Azamara Journey is owned and operated by the “upper premium” category Azamara Club Cruises division of Royal Caribbean.Built in France in 2000 as the R Six for now-defunct Renaissance Cruises, the Azamara Journey was the sixth in a series of eight identical ships. When Renaissance went out of business following the 9-11 terrorist attacks of 2001, the R Six was laid up. A Marshall Islands-based company named Cruisinvest Six eventually purchased the R Six and chartered it to Spanish-based Pullmantur Cruises as the Blue Dream in 2003.
