Emerald Cruises' custom-built superyacht, Emerald Azzura, has successfully completed its first sea trials. The rigorous sea trials took place in Vietnam, departing Ha Long Shipyard on 20NOV over 48 hours.
Following the trials, Emerald Azzurra will undergo the final touches to its interior and exterior, as well as complete the training of the on board teams before it begins sailing in early JAN 2022.
Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman, Scenic Group commented: "During Emerald Azzurra’s sea trials, all design parameters were exceeded, including speed, noise, vibration and overall comfort and maneuverability whilst sailing. Emerald Azzurra really is a very special superyacht, and will undoubtedly deliver a fantastic experience for our guests."
Emerald Azzurra will carry just 100 guests in 50 deluxe suites and staterooms, with more than 80 per cent of cabins featuring a balcony. The ship is set to be the 10th vessel in the Emerald Cruises fleet, joining nine river cruising Star-Ships. The line’s second superyacht, Emerald Sakara, will join the fleet in early 2023 and will add the Seychelles to the destination lineup.

Upon its debut, the Emerald Azzurra is set to sail through the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Black and Red Seas.
