Renowned for its river cruising expertise, Emerald Waterways have recently revealed their first ocean super-yacht, Emerald Azzurra.

The yacht will be joining the fleet in July 2021, offering 47 itineraries to destinations across the Red Sea, the Mediterranean and more. One of the benefits of the yacht is its size, meaning that you can access some of the smaller ports and harbours. These include Kotor, Santorini and Amalfi – which are each as unique and beautiful as the next.

Emerald Azzurra will be launched under the newly formed Emerald Yacht Cruises brand.

“We are thrilled to be introducing a new sister brand to Emerald Waterways. We have ambitious growth plans for the UK and can’t wait for past river cruise guests and new customers alike to join us on-board our new ocean-going yacht.”

David Winterton – Director of Marketing & Global Brand Curator, Emerald Waterways

The ship will be 110m in length and include just 50 cabins, meaning that it will offer a truly intimate experience. On-board the ship, guests can look forward to local flavours and cocktails while enjoying the views.

There will also be a wellness centre including a spa, gym, and sauna to completely relax into your own bliss.

From sumptuous breakfast menus to a la carte dining, the culinary experience on-board Emerald Yacht Cruises is refreshing and luxurious.

Take inspiration from the surroundings of the Mediterranean and enjoy locally-sourced dinners, which are thoughtfully crafted by expert chefs and include complimentary sommelier-paired wines to enjoy with lunch or dinner. The restaurants include the spacious Reflections Restaurant and the relaxed Horizon Bar & Lounge.

As for staterooms, 88% of cabins boast their own balconies, where guests can watch the world go by in their own sanctuary if they so wish.

There’s also three tenders and a Zodia for shore landings, alongside a marine platform which will allow easy access to snorkelling, paddleboarding, and swimming at one of the swim stops featured in some itineraries.

The yacht will be setting sail from June 2021 and will be available to book on our sister brand site, SixStarCruises. Keep your eyes peeled for more information about this exciting development of Emerald Waterways and the luxurious Emerald Azzurra.
