Azamara Quest photographed in Liverpool on 8 July 2015.

I have been struggling to get to Liverpool recently and it was good that a meeting in the City coincided with her visit.

Built by Atlantique in St.Nazaire she was completed in 2000 as Yard Number y31 and is 181m long with a 25.48m beam and 5.95m draught.

Originally she was built for Renaissance Cruises as R Seven but following the collapse of this Company in 2001 she was laid up for two years until being chartered by Delphin Seereisen and being renamed Delphin Renaissance. In 2006 she was sold to Pullmantur Cruises and sailed as Blue Moon until being acquired by Azamara where she entered service on 27 October 2007.

She carries approximately 710 passengers (double occupancy) plus 410 crew.

In March 2012 the ship suffered a fire in one of her engine rooms South of the Phillipines, a number of crew were injured although the fire was quickly contained. In November 2012 she had an eight day dry dock which in addition to a newly painted hull also resulted in new soft furnishings, a new steam room and a new caviar and champagne bar being installed

Azamara joined the cruise industry in 2007 after Royal Caribbean acquired Pullmantur, Celebrity Cruises who are part of the Royal Carribben Group taking on the vessel. The line was however rebranded as Azamara Club Cruises in April 2010.

    My interest in ships and the sea started back in 2006 when I worked for a couple of years  on the banks of the River Mersey. I have since been on a couple of cruises around the Med and in the Far East and have started to take more interest in researching and photographing some of the ships and other vessels seen on my travels.
