Having launched in March 2022, Emerald Azzurra was the first custom-build ocean superyacht from Emerald Cruises, offering a luxury cruising experience. Often compared to a private yacht, Emerald Azzurra has a wealth of amenities to back up this comparison. Carrying a small group of just 100 guests in 50 deluxe suites and staterooms, the ship features an open-air infinity pool surrounded by lounge chairs and day beds ideal for relaxing and enjoying delicious cocktails or cool beers from the nearby Aqua Pool Café. From summer classics like Piña Coladas, Margaritas and Aperol Spritz to a refreshing Basil Watermelon Cooler, a wide selection of ales, lagers and pilsners, there's something for everyone. There is also a Wellness Centre complete with an Elements Spa, infrared sauna and gym, so you can focus on your wellbeing.

The yacht’s Marina Platform, located on the yacht’s stern, boasts water toys galore (think kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkeling equipment and even the super fun SEABOBs), as well as a giant trampoline available for guests to enjoy when the platform is deployed. When ashore, EmeraldACTIVE tours help you explore destinations in a new way. Hike to local attractions or take advantage of Emerald Cruises' complimentary Gocycle electric bicycles to explore the islands on guided tours.

After a busy day swimming in the crystal clear waters, and exploring the tropical islands, the top deck Sky Bar offers the ideal spot to watch the sun set over the Caribbean Sea and enjoy a refreshing beverage. The ship features a variety of areas in which guests can dine and relax. The extra-spacious La Cucina dining room specializes in fresh, seasonal cuisine with seating indoors as well as on the adjacent terrace, while the warm and welcoming Amici Bar & Lounge is a friendly place to gather and enjoy live music in the evenings. When travelling, nothing expands your horizons quite like new culinary delights. Traditional Caribbean food offers an array of surprising flavours, influenced by West African, Indian, Spanish, French, Middle Eastern and other international cuisines brought over centuries ago by settlers arriving in the islands. You will have plenty of opportunities to sample local gastronomic treasures made from the freshest, locally sourced ingredients and complemented by sommelier-paired wines, from a crisp Sauvignon Blanc to a rich Spanish Rioja, or the delicious Tuscan rosé. Your waiter will ensure you’re poured the perfect accompaniment to best enhance your dish.

With six stateroom and suite categories available, you’re sure to find your perfect home away from home. Ranging from 180 to 1,190 square feet in size, each modern yet comfortable retreat boasts its own set of inclusions and all but six (Oceanview Stateroom category on Emerald Deck) of which feature large balconies or terraces. You'll also find complimentary bathrobes and slippers, ESPA luxury toiletries in your en-suite bathroom, bottled water restocked daily, a personal safe, umbrella and telephone. Take advantage of on-demand entertainment courtesy of your flat screen HDTV and infotainment system, featuring blockbuster films, TV and news channels, and make yourself comfortable with the individual climate control feature within each room.

Explore Emerald Azzurra’s new Caribbean itineraries - offering captivating, less-travelled Caribbean locales, meticulously crafted to access unique ports that larger ships cannot access, providing exclusive and intimate exploration for all on board as well as highlighted by overnight stays in the glamorous Gustavia, St. Barts. In addition, you can combine these two itineraries for a longer cruise with minimal overlapping of ports.
