What s in a Name? The name Azamara is a coined term, rooted in Romance language references to blue ( aza ), the sea ( mar ), and a lesser-known word, acamar, which, in Classical times, was the southernmost bright star that could be seen from the latitude of Greece. Azamara Cruises is viewed as a bright star on the deep blue sea.
