Starters include beef tenderloin carpaccio with orange oil, lobster ravioli, and seared tuna wrapped in veal, followed by second courses such as sweet pea and fennel soup or delicious salads of watermelon and tomato or arugula and radicchio with prosciutto chips. Main courses include forest mushroom risotto, a perfectly grilled veal chop, a Venetian seafood platter or delicate dover sole.

Other entrée choices may include lamb, pork, veal chops, game hens and seafood. Indulge in the famous mini cinnamon-sugar donuts with a trio of dipping sauces for dessert.

From France to California, and Argentina to South Africa, the Azamara Wine Cellar will delight your palate with a vast collection of limited production, small label and rare vintage wines. Our knowledgeable sommeliers will help you pick the perfect wines for your evening meal.

Something extra: Arrange a wine tasting here. Ask our sommelier or concierge for details. Hours: Specialty restaurant dining hours and by appointment Location: Prime C

Discoveries Restaurant

When: Most of the day, from early morning to late night Where: Amidship-Deck 5 Dining: What (and What Not) to Wear
In all of our dining rooms, we encourage guests to follow a “resort casual” dress code, following good taste and common sense.

• Bare feet, tank tops, baseball caps, bathing suits, shorts, and jeans are not allowed in the main dining room or two specialty restaurants. (Khakis and other trousers are fine.)
• When dining at Windows Café, guests must wear footwear and a cover-up or shirt.
• In Prime C, Aqualina and Discoveries Restaurant, many guests enjoy dressing up. Formal evening wear (tuxedos and gowns) is not expected. We recommend that men bring a sport coat or suit; this attire comes in handy for evenings onshore as well. For women, dining attire includes dresses, skirts, blouses with pants and capris, and other appropriate attire.

With advance notice, Azamara can accommodate most special dietary needs. Please submit your request in writing to Azamara Access Department no later than 40 days before US sailings, and 80 days before all other sailings.

The best time for room service? Whenever you say it is, 24-hours a day. Order from the full breakfast menu between 6:30 AM and 10:00 AM, and they will deliver at your appointed time. Lunch and dinner room service features a menu of hearty soups, fresh salads, gourmet sandwiches, pizzas and desserts.

Mediterranean Swinger Cruise What’s Included

Cruises are a great value because so much is included.  That includes all of your meals at all the restaurants and room service. (except at the specialty restaurants where you will have a slight up charge.)

Entertainment and theme parties are included.  There will be pool parties by day, theme parties every night and sexy playrooms for exploring the more erotic aspects of this cruise.

Tours off the ship and Spa treatments are the other things you will want to budget a bit of extra $ for.

Wine is included at no additional cost with lunch & dinner.  

Drinks are NOT included.  Consider getting the drink package if you want be truly care free and not have to put any thought to how much you are spending.

Once we get to the point where you have completed online check in, experienced cruisers may notice a few things missing from the Azamara online system.

Not available online thru online check-in:  drink packages, lifestyle shore excursions, specialty dining packages and bundles.   

We want to make sure You know that what is included in a full ship charter is different than a regular Azamara Cruise.  Just an FYI for you good research types, the details & prices listed on the Azamara web site do not apply to this charter.

The full ship charter does not include any type of liquor/drinks package.  Once LLV posts the package prices you will notice the prices for drink packages and bundles that include drink packages cost considerably more than what is listed on the web site.

As a possible consolation, the policy on carry on wine is also quite relaxed.  We have carried on wine far in excess of the usual rule of 2 bottles per cabin.  We have also on past cruises restocked in port and carried bottles of liquor.

Amenities Included:

• Select house wine served during lunch or dinner only
• Unlimited Bottled water, soft drinks, specialty coffees and teas
• Concierge services for personal guidance and reservations

For Suite Guests:
All standard amenities plus:

• English butler service
• complimentary Internet minutes
• One free bag of laundry service per suite, all seven days

Travel Insurance

Yikes, travel insurance is not a fun topic but a lot of you have asked…
This is about what happens if you are paid, packed and ready to go… and there is a problem.

The biggest 2 reasons people take insurance are:

• Trip Cancellation
• Medical Expenses or Medical Evacuation

Full Ship charters are better than regular cruises in many ways, however the penalties and potential for a loss if you have to cancel is higher. Shortly after final payment most full ship charter cruises become non-refundable. That means if you have to cancel your trip not only do you have that disappointment of a cancelled vacation, but I have to tell you you don’t get your money back.

Our most popular insurance is ‘World Wide Trip Protector’ and provides full coverage when purchased up to 21 days after your vacation purchase.

The best value just to make sure you have coverage is ‘Trip Protector Lite Expanded.’

We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance  
Note: this link opens a window for Travel Insured – if you have questions pleases phone our office for assistance.

Please consider purchasing Travel Insurance

Since everyone pretty much likes me right now and I’d like it to stay that way, please consider purchasing travel insurance. Or at least don’t say I didn’t warn you if there is a problem.

Other coverages that take the worry out of travel:

• Trip Interruption – Return air only
• Trip Delay & Missed Connection coverage
• Baggage Loss or Delay
• Cancel for Work Reasons Options available on select policies

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance for your upcoming cruise. There are hundreds of circumstances that could cause you to cancel your trip, return home early or force you to seek emergency medical treatment while traveling. Travel insurance offers coverage for unforeseen problems such as, an unexpected financial change or scheduling conflict, a cancelled flight or a serious illness. You even have the option where you can cancel for any reason. We recommend Travel Insured – Get a quote and buy insurance

This is the 3 night Rome VIP Pre-Cruise event before the LLV Mediterranean Swinger Cruise August 5-13, 2017, which sails from Rome to Barcelona.

The Perfect Hotel in the Heart of Rome

Don’t just go sight seeing… Live the Experience!

3 nights Accommodations in a Luxury Boutique Hotel near Piazza Campo de’ Fiori. The art to truly experiencing a destination is in selecting the perfect location. This location is perfect! Our delightful boutique 4 star hotel is located in the heart of Rome and situated on the Piazza Campo de’ Fiori.

Just steps from the hotel you will find yourself in a typical Roman atmosphere in the Piazza Campo de’ Fiori, a lively picturesque morning market with fresh fruit and vegetables.  It is pretty much the only open air market left in the center of Rome (except for the one in Trastevere). As the sun goes down the piazza turns into a magical living room where people meet for a carefree appetizer, cocktail or wine, and to taste the many Roman specialties in the numerous restaurants or trattorias.

From our hotel you can walk to all of the marvelous monuments of the center of Rome such as: Piazza Navona, Pantheon, Piazza Venezia, Colosseum, Roman Forum, Trevi Fountain, Spanish Steps, Castel Sant’Angelo and the Vatican City.

Roman Dining Experiences

Culinary Experiences Designed to Awaken your Sensuality and Sense of Seduction

Daily Breakfast:  Awaken to a fabulous breakfast served in the hotels library. You will find an abundant buffet consisting of sweets and salts, freshly baked bread, soft croissant, a café with creamy cappuccino, caffè espresso, delicious chocolate, a vast selection of teas, and everything you could desire.

Seductive Roman Dining experiences

• Welcome Dinner – 3 course gourmet dinner at a local trattoria. Delicious and authentic. A real taste of Rome.
• Gifts of the Gods’ Luxury Group Dinner and Entertainment

A spectacular roof top venue!

Relax with an aperitif and enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the Eternal City.
From this privileged position you can enjoy three roof top events:

• Roof Top Wine Tasting – Our wine broker is sourcing in some of the finest vintages in Italy for your oenophilic seduction and drinking pleasure.
• Roof Top Elixirs and Aphrodisiacs party – Den Temin’s teachings will guide our chef in creating a special menu of elixirs and special cocktails and delicious bites to go with them to bring out the sexiest of your inner sensuality.
• Roof Top Late Night – on the last night of this tour we give you the choice of going out on the town for a club rampage or spending a seductive night howling at the moon from our rooftop.  Wine and beverages will be served.

Tours that accentuate the Sensual

Engage your senses and sensuality by choosing the perfect tours

On day two you have your choice of tours:

‘Lore of Elixirs and Aphrodisiacs of Rome’  Tour and Sexy Education Program with Sexologist Den Temin: Discover the sensual secrets of Rome.  Indulge your senses of taste, touch and feeling in the lore of Elixirs and Aphrodisiacs.  This program with Sexologist Den Temin explores your inner desires and the roles of Elixirs and Aphrodisiacs.  After a small group lecture and discussion you will go hands on with a walking tour thru local markets sourcing the ingredients to take your love life to the next level.

Segway Tour thru the Ancient City. Perhaps this is your first trip to Rome that just wouldn’t be complete with out the highlights of this ancient city.On a Segway you beat the heat as you glide past historic highlights like the Circus Maximus, Arch of Constantine, Roman Forum, Colosseum, TrjJan Column, Capitoline Hill, Santa Maria’s Church and its Bocca della Verità wall sculpture, Orange Garden, Rose Garden, Knights of Malta square, Marcello Theatre.

Borghese tour and Gift of the Gods Dinner

Embrace total seduction.

Afternoon at the Borghese Museum. Based on my own visits to many of Rome’s museums over the years, if I had to pick only one museum to visit on my trip to Rome, it would be this one.

Sacrilege you say? Not the Vatican Museums?

Well, really, you should see them both and if you would like to add the Vatican to your pre-cruise experience our hotel concierge will be happy to assist with those additional plans.

The Borghese Museum is known for one of the best collections of art in the world in terms of sculpture, painting and architecture (the building itself is one of the attractions.) And it’s all in a space that is visitable in the 2-hour time allotment.

The thing that was so special about this museum is that the entrance is limited to 360 guests at a time.  So there is no crowd and you can simply BE with the magical Bernini and Caravaggio art.  Nothing like the Vatican Museums with its 30,000 visitors per day.

The museum is in the Villa Borghese park.  If you end your museum visit early enjoy a visit to the gardens or simply stroll thru the park to our evening’s venue.

Following the tour we will have a private dinner tucked away in one of the finest restaurants in Rome.  Savor a gourmet dinner themed around ‘The Gifts of the Gods.’  Explore aperitifs in the wine cellar.   Of course, Bacchus would smile at the feast we have planned.  Transportation is included.

Nightlife custom fit for you…

We want you to be entertained, in ways you love to be entertained…

Late Night Roman Rampage: One night of Late Night Dance Party/Entertainment  – bring your dancing shoes and prepare to explore clubs that rock until the early hours of the morning.  We will have one of our favorite lifestyle host couples leading the fun.  Admission to the first club is included.  Return transportation to the hotel is not included.

Roof Top Late Night – if a night in the clubs isn’t your style we offer a seductive night. This low key sensual evening we will feature a late night wine party on our roof top.

• Private Car transfer from Rome Fiumicino (FCO) Airport to Hotel Campo de’ Fiori.
• Group Transportation to the cruise from Hotel Campo de’ Fiori to the cruise port in Civitavecchia  The closest cruise port to Rome is located in a town called Civitavecchia.  This is approximately an hour and a half from our hotel in the heart of Rome.
