Posted: Oct 16, 2026

Discover the World has announced the expansion of its partnership with Azamara Cruises, the global leader in Destination Immersion®, supporting the cruise line's sales activities in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.

The appointment further strengthens the relationship between Discover the World and Azamara Cruises, building on their existing collaboration in Guatemala and Colombia and extending the partnership into Central Europe.

As demand for premium and experience-led travel continues to grow across the region, the Czech Republic and Slovakia represent attractive markets for Azamara's unique style of cruising, which combines intimate ships, immersive itineraries, and extended time in destination. Through this expanded collaboration, Discover the World will support the development of the brand's presence and help connect more travellers and travel advisors with Azamara's distinctive offering.

“We are delighted to begin our partnership with Azamara in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. We see strong potential for the brand in both markets, particularly among travellers looking for a premium cruise experience combined with a deeper exploration of destinations. We look forward to introducing Azamara to an even wider audience and working closely with our travel trade partners to grow the brand across the region,” said Kamila Cernikova, Country Sales Leader of Czech Republic, Slovakia and Poland at Discover the World.

In the Czech Republic and Slovakia, Discover the World will work closely with Azamara and the local travel trade to strengthen brand awareness, provide market expertise and training, and develop new sales opportunities across both markets. The focus will be on building long-term relationships with travel partners while showcasing the benefits of Azamara's destination-focused cruise experience to a growing audience of premium travellers.

Lee Surman, Director of Trading and Partnerships, International, Azamara Cruises, added: "Developing strong relationships with our partners sits at the very heart of Azamara Cruises, and we are thrilled to be working so closely with Discover the World in these important markets. I have every confidence that, through our partnership, our brand profile will become even more elevated across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and we very much look forward to growing something meaningful for both brands in the years ahead."
