Part of the fleet
Emerald Cruises
Scenic Group's premium-luxury sibling — 100-guest ocean yachts and river Star-Ships at a materially lower fare than the ultra-luxury field.
- Introduced
- 2022
- Gross tonnage
- 5,300 GT
- Capacity
- 100 guests
Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara are near-identical yachts of around 5,300 GT built at Ha Long Shipbuilding in Vietnam, carrying 100 guests in 50 suites and staterooms.
For their size the facility list is unusual: an aft infinity-style pool, a marina platform with kayaks and paddleboards, a spa, a gym, a Sky Bar and two dining venues.
Their draught and length let them berth in Hvar, Kotor, Bodrum, Sharm el-Sheikh and dozens of Greek islands where larger vessels must anchor offshore or skip the call.
