Emerald Azzurra, the first custom-built superyacht by Emerald Cruises has successfully completed its first sea trials, conducted by British Captain Jonathan Edwards and Marine Operations Manager Robert O’Leary along with more than 98 crew, contractors and shipyard staff on board.
This luxurious superyacht is 110 metres in length with just 50 guest cabins. That is a maximum of 100 guests who will be pampered by 64 crew members. They offer an excellent level of personal service throughout your holiday.
There is an abundance of space to easily find a secluded spot to read one of our cozy cruise mystery books or enjoy unimpeded views of the unspoilt landscapes. ,
Take a relaxing dip in the infinity-style pool, or arrange to meet new-found friends at one of our comfortable meeting spots. This is a luxury that will exceed your yacht cruising expectations.
The sea trials took place in Ha Long in Vietnam, departing Ha Long Shipyard on the 20th November 2021 at 06:00, with the sea trials completed within 48 hours.
Emerald Azzurra will shortly undergo the final touches to its interior and exterior, as well as complete the training of the onboard teams before the maiden voyage on 28 January 2022. Emerald Azzurra will launch with its eight-day Best of the Red Sea itinerary.
Emerald Azzurra is the 10th vessel in the Emerald Cruises fleet – joining nine river-cruising Star-Ships. Emerald Cruises’ 10th Star-Ship, Emerald Luna, will join the fleet in spring next year, followed by a second superyacht – Emerald Sakara – in early 2023.
Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman, Scenic Group (which includes Emerald Cruises and Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours) commented: “During Emerald Azzurra’s sea trials, all design parameters were exceeded, including speed, noise, vibration and overall comfort and manoeuvrability whilst sailing. Emerald Azzurra really is a very special superyacht, and will undoubtedly deliver a fantastic experience for our guests.”
Captain Jonathan Edwards added, “I’m delighted with the great teamwork that has been achieved in constructing not just the most elegant vessel on the seas but one that can live up to the high standards we have all grown to expect from Emerald Cruises.
