The History of Emerald Cruises


Founded in 2013 as Emerald Waterways, Emerald Cruises is an award-winning travel operator specialising in deluxe river cruises and luxury yacht cruising. When Emerald Azzurra launched in January 2022, she was the first custom-built luxury yacht from Emerald Cruises. Her Godmother, Sarah Wikevand, Managing Director of ROL Cruise, was announced in May 2022.

The Emerald Cruises Fleet

There are two ships in the Emerald Cruises fleet, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara. The sister ships, which will exceed your yacht cruising expectations, boast an abundance of space. Discover a secluded spot to read a book, enjoy unimpeded views of the unspoiled landscapes, take a relaxing dip in the Aqua Pool or arrange to meet newfound friends.


Onboard Experience

Accommodation

You can choose from six categories on an Emerald Cruises ship; Oceanview Stateroom, Balcony Suite, Deluxe Balcony Suite, Terrace Suite, Yacht Suite and Owner’s Suite. Each suite and stateroom has been uniquely designed to become your own sanctuary of serenity. Relax in your modern surroundings, enjoying a collection of luxurious amenities as you uncover and explore exciting destinations.

Entertainment

With so much beauty to uncover on your cruise, Emerald Cruises have made sure you’ll see the very best of every location you visit. Adventure abounds on the included excursions, while free time to do your own thing encourages you to head off the beaten rack. Choose from EmeraldPLUS and EmeraldACTIVE - EmeraldPLUS programme provides you with unique encounters, sure to become the highlight of your adventure. Handpicked by Emerald Cruises’ journey designers, you’ll meet locals from ancient communities, take part in insightful activities and embark on guided tours of some of the most prestigious premises in the world. And for the more active guest, EmeraldACTIVE excursions consist of guided bike rides and hikes, for an alternative perspective on a location.

Dining

With two dining options onboard and a selection of bars and lounges, an Emerald Cruises yacht provides a venue for every mood. La Cucina Dining, which is situated on Deck 2 of Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, celebrates fresh, seasonal and local produce. You’ll indulge in chef-prepared meals accompanied by a selection of complimentary beer, wine or soft drinks. La Cucina Terrace, which adjoins La Cucina Dining, is a beautiful spot for an alfresco breakfast or lunch. Here, you’ll enjoy tender racks of lamb, the freshest black mussels and earthy truffle risotto.

At the Aqua Pool Café, a selection of flatbreads packs a punch with a range of delicious fillings while revitalising gelato will satisfy your sweet tooth.
