A cruise ship which has been sailing passengers across the globe for more than 25 years is set to return to Southampton for the first time in almost a year.

Since 1999 the Azamara Onward has been ferrying passengers to their dream holiday destinations under a number of different names – among those are R Three and Pacific Princess.

After being bought by Azamara Cruises from Princess Cruises in 2022, the ship was given the name Onward.

The ship was last in Southampton in June 2024 and after just under a year’s absence from the city, it is set to be once again docked in Southampton.

Azamara Onward will be seen on the Southampton horizon next month on June 11, arriving after a trip to Spain, France and Jersey.

It will then depart the city at 6pm and embark on a voyage to France, Portugal and Spain – finishing in Barcelona.
