The Azamara Onward pool
The sparkling Azamara Onward pool is especially enticing on a warm day. While the pool is smaller than on some other ships, it’s perfect for a refreshing dip. There are also whirlpool tubs, which are ideal for soothing tired muscles. The temperature of the pool is usually 27ºC / 80ºF.
All around the pool you’ll find lots of comfortable sun loungers. In fact the pool deck rarely feels crowded, even on sea days. That said, if you’d like more privacy there are additional sun loungers up on deck 11.
The Sanctum Spa
You can treat yourself to a relaxing massage or facial treatment in the Sanctum Spa. Lots of them are inspired by exotic Eastern traditions. For instance, there is a Jade Stone and Coconut Poultice massage. The Sanctum Spa also offer acupuncture and cupping, as well as Swedish and Deep Tissue Massages,
In addition, there are ELEMIS facial treatments, manicures, pedicures and waxing services. Not to mention a hairdresser and a barber.
The Sanctum Terrace

Azamara Onward gym and fitness
Lots of guests take advantage of the large fitness space on Azamara Onward. It’s hardly surprising, the club-style gym is bristling with exercise machines and free weights. There are fitness classes every morning; the Pilates class was popular on our voyage.
You can also book a personal trainer; a 30-minute Results Based Training session starts from USD69*.
If jogging is more your scene there is a running track above the pool deck. Thirteen laps around the track is 1 nautical mile / 1.85 k.m. / 1.150 mi.
