The 12-day cruise will also call in Key West, Tampa and Cozumel and spend two nights in New Orleans.

The cruise opened for booking on Dec. 9, with prices starting at $2,799 per person.

Azamara Club Cruises’ two ships, the Journey and Quest, will undergo major renovations in early 2016.

The 686-passenger ships will be outfitted with renovated cabins and new public spaces, including for dining and entertainment.

“Each corner of the ships will have a new look and feel, setting a brighter, more contemporary ambience, while the new venues will bring guests fresh experiences. We’re also investing in new onboard innovations and have paid close attention to the smallest of details,” Azamara CEO Larry Pimentel said.

The Journey will enter dry dock in January 2016 in the Bahamas, and the Azamara Quest in April 2016 in Singapore.
