The new ocean-going super yacht Emerald Azzurra from Emerald Cruises (www.emeraldyachtcruises.com.au) was floated out for the first time this weekend at The Halong Shipbuilding Company in Vietnam, marking just over a year until guests will be able to set sail on the brand new super yacht.

Emerald Azzurra is the first custom-built ocean super yacht launched by Emerald Cruises, sister company to Evergreen Tours and Scenic Luxury Cruises and Tours. The ship will set sail on 28 January 2022 on the eight-day Best of the Red Sea itinerary and prices start from $4,778 per person* for an Oceanview Stateroom, or guests can take advantage of the Super Earlybird savings on a Balcony Stateroom from $5,903 per person* and save from $2,624 per couple*.
Once complete, 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, with 88 per cent of cabins featuring a balcony. The yacht features an onboard wellness centre (including spa, gym & sauna), three tenders and a Zodiac for shore landings. Emerald Azzurra also features a marina platform to allow easy access to snorkelling, paddle boarding or swimming at one of the many locations.
As well as having access to small ports and harbours that large ships can’t access, guests will have the opportunity to taste local flavours and cocktails whilst taking in the views from one of the three stunning bars and restaurants.
Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman of The Scenic Group (including Emerald Cruises) comments:
“We are incredibly excited to see Emerald Azzurra successfully enter the water as the next stage of her build, the completion of the interior, commences. 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. We can’t wait for past river cruise guests and new customers alike to join us on board our very own ocean-going yacht in 2022.”
Angus Crichton, Director Sales Marketing & Product, Emerald Cruises and Evergreen Tours said:
“This significant milestone for Emerald Yacht Cruises takes us one step closer to welcoming guests on board our first super yacht, Emerald Azzurra. The luxurious small ship experience and exceptional value inclusions have been well received across the Australian and New Zealand markets, and our valued agent partners. With strong sales for 2022 and the launch of our limited Super Earlybird offers with savings up to 30%, now is the time to secure a Balcony Stateroom before they sell out.”
