Our Our Favorite Azamara B2B Cruise in 2026

A Grand Mediterranean Adventure: A Real-World B2B Example

We often talk about the strategies for building a long-term "DIY" cruise itinerary, and the "Back-to-Back" (or B2B) is the foundation of it all. To show you how powerful this can be, we've mapped out a real-world example of how you can stitch together four individual voyages on the beautiful Azamara Journey to create an incredible 30-night Grand Mediterranean adventure in the spring of 2026.

Azamara is a fantastic choice for this kind of travel, as they focus on smaller, less-crowded ports and longer stays, which is perfect for an immersive experience. Let's build our journey.


The Building Blocks: Four Individual Cruises

Here are the four consecutive voyages the Azamara Onward is offering. Notice how the end port of one cruise is the start port of the next, making the transition seamless.

    • Departs: May 28, 2026, from Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain

Stitching It All Together: The Experience

By booking these four cruises together, you've transformed a series of week-long trips into one seamless, month-long exploration.

Your journey begins in Barcelona with a deep dive into the French Riviera. When you arrive in Nice on June 2nd, there's no need to pack up and haul luggage to an airport. You simply go through a quick in-transit check-in and remain on the ship as it prepares for its next leg—a beautiful journey down the coast of Italy. From Venice, you'll cross the Adriatic, and finally, you'll finish with a full week immersing yourself in the stunning Greek Isles.


The Result: Your Own Grand Voyage

By stitching these four itineraries together, you have created a 30-night Grand Mediterranean Voyage that visits dozens of ports across Spain, France, Monaco, Italy, Croatia, and Greece.

  • You only unpack once. For an entire month, your closet and belongings stay in one place.
  • Logistics are simple. Your transportation, accommodation, and primary dining are all taken care of for the entire journey.
  • You get to know the ship and crew. By the second week, the crew knows your name and your favorite drink. The ship truly starts to feel like home.
 

This "stitching" technique is the core skill for any long-term "DIY" cruiser. You can apply this same logic to any cruise line in any region of the world to build the custom-made, immersive journey of your dreams.
