Although Azamara’s four ships are almost identical, the sophisticated Atlas Bar is a unique feature which currently only appears on Azamara Onward. Offering a range of intriguing artisanal cocktails and accompanying small plates, the Atlas Bar is the perfect place to catch up with new and old friends each evening to reminisce about the destination visited during the day.
