When it debuted in 2018, 702-guest Azamara Pursuit was the cruise line’s first new vessel in a decade — but it wasn’t a new build. Launched in 2001 as part of the former Renaissance Cruises (as were all four Azamara R-class ships), the ship went through an extensive refurbishment before its 2018 Azamara debut. A number of staterooms — including two flashy spa suites with sunken tubs set next to windows — were added, and the casino was removed to make way for a cozy new lounge called The Den.
