Emerald Azzurra floats out in Vietnam

Wednesday, December 9, 2020

Emerald Cruises’ brand new ocean-going super yacht Emerald Azzurra has floated out at the Halong Shipbuilding Company in Vietnam.  Emerald Azzurra is the first custom-built ocean super yacht launched by Emerald Cruises, and will set sail on January 28, 2022, on the eight-day Best of the Red Sea itinerary. The move marks just over a year until guests will be able to set sail on the yacht.

Upon completion, Emerald Azzurra guests will enjoy a luxury small ship cruising experience, with the super yacht carrying just 100 guests in 50 deluxe suites and staterooms. Nearly 88% of cabins in the yacht include a balcony and the yacht features an on-board wellness centre, three tenders and a Zodiac for shore landings.

It also features a marina platform to allow easy access to snorkelling, paddle boarding or swimming at one of the many swim stops. Besides having access to small ports and harbours that large ships cannot access, guests will have the opportunity to taste local flavours and cocktails whilst taking in the views from one of the three different bars and restaurants.

Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman, the Scenic Group (including Emerald Cruises) said in a statement that the company is incredibly excited to see Emerald Azzurra successfully enter the water as the next stage of her build, the completion of the interior, commences. He mentioned that once again Emerald Cruises is looking to the future and building a game changing vessel at a time when small-ship experiences are gaining in popularity.
