History
AI-generated

Azamara Quest is an R-class cruise ship built by Chantiers de l'Atlantique in France and originally launched as R Seven for Renaissance Cruises. Following Renaissance Cruises' collapse, the vessel was chartered to Germany-based Delphin Seereisen as Delphin Renaissance before being sold to Pullmantur Cruises and renamed Blue Moon, eventually transferring to Azamara Cruises. Due to her compact size, the ship is able to access lesser-visited ports such as St. Barts and Guadeloupe, and has proven notable for her crew's ability to maintain passenger morale during crises, including an engine room fire in 2012 that temporarily disabled the vessel.
