Detailed answer
Azamara Journey was built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique at Saint-Nazaire in France and completed in 2000 as R Six for Renaissance Cruises. After Renaissance collapsed it was laid up, then sailed for Pullmantur as Blue Star and Blue Dream before joining Azamara in 2007. It has a gross tonnage of 30,277, a length of 181 metres, about 694 guests at double occupancy and a crew of about 408. It has been through dry docks at Navantia in Cadiz in August 2021 and at Elefsis Shipyards in Greece in September 2024. The Gibraltar port listing expects about 690 passengers on each of its five 2027 calls, mainly American and British.
How busy will town be?
The upcoming visits listed on this page show the passengers expected on each call and any other ships in port the same day. Town is busiest when several ships are in at once or a large ship arrives at a weekend. A ship carrying a few hundred passengers makes little difference on its own.
