Emerald Cruises has taken delivery of Emerald Azzurra, the first of the brand’s two superyachts. Departing Ha Long Shipyard in Vietnam this week, the 100-guest luxury yacht is headed to Aqaba, Jordan, where it will welcome guests onboard its inaugural sailing on 11 March 2022.

Emerald Azzurra, the first custom-built superyacht by Emerald Cruises, has successfully completed its first sea trials, conducted by Captain Jonathan Edwards and Marine Operations Manager Robert O’Leary along with more than 98 specialised crew, contractors and shipyard staff on board.

The new ocean-going super yacht Emerald Azzurra from Emerald Cruises was floated out for the first time last weekend at The Halong Shipbuilding Company in Vietnam, marking just over a year until guests will be able to set sail on the upmarket vessel.
