As a smaller vessel, the Azamara Journey means a quicker disembarkation in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island - fewer passengers funneling through the gangway gets you off the ship faster.

Arriving in Sydney, Nova Scotia at 1:30 pm with only 6 hours hours before your 8:00 pm departure is a tight window.

Your ship arrives in Saint John, New Brunswick at 8:30 am, one of the most common arrival windows. If you've booked a morning excursion, aim to be among the first off.

With 12 hours hours in Portland, Maine - from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm - you have a full day ashore with room to breathe.

Visitors can explore historic districts, enjoy working waterfronts, and witness the charm of Maine's maritime heritage.

Arriving in Cape Cod, Massachusetts at 10:30 pm with only 1 hours hours before your 11:59 pm departure is a tight window.
