Emerald Cruises' first 100-guest luxury yacht, Emerald Azzurra, along with her upcoming twin, Emerald Sakara (launching in AUG), will begin their first Caribbean season island in NOV, 2023 hopping in waters much closer to home for North American travellers.
To mark the inaugural Caribbean season, guests booking 2023 and 2024 Caribbean sailings by 15MAR will save up to $2,000 per couple. Additionally, guests who pay in full 12 months prior to sailing, or within 72 hours of booking for cruises departing within 12 months, will also receive included economy flights when booking a stateroom, or premium flights when booking a suite.

Intimate, Yacht-Like Cruising
The cruise line compares Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara to private yachts. The vessels include modern, luxe suites and staterooms, an open-air infinity pool surronded by loungers and a nearby bar, wellness deck complete with spa, infrared sauna and gym, top deck Sky Bar, and a marina platform with water toys including kayaks, standup paddleboards, snorkel equipment, SEABOBs and a giant trampoline available to guests when the aft platform is deployed.
Inaugural Caribbean Season
The sister yachts will homeport in the Caribbean during the 2023 and 2024 winter seasons. Twelve distinct itineraries ranging from eight to 19 days will take guests to islands in the Grenadines, British and US Virgin Islands, Eastern Caribbean and West Indies, as well as ports in Puerto Rico, Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia.
The eight-day Eastern Caribbean with St. Barths, sailing between Bridgetown, Barbados and Marigot, St. Martin, explores some of the most intimate ports in the Leeward and Windward islands.
For those looking to visit some of the most stunning beaches in the Caribbean, the eight-day West Indies Island Hopping itinerary from San Juan, Puerto Rico is a great choice. It features White Bay Beach on Jost Van Dyke in the BVI, the perfect setting for a hosted beach BBQ with a live band. This itinerary will offer multiple opportunities to experience the ships’ marina platform and enjoy the waters of the West Indies.
