When Azamara canceled our August 2020 Norway voyage because of COVID-19, we understood. Our spirits sank until we saw their 2021 deals. Then we booked another exciting voyage — two weeks exploring the Black Sea in April 2021.

I don't know anything about the area." And he didn't, even though the company we used listed Dobromir as a "driver-guide."
