The new 100 guest super yacht – Emerald Azzurra – is the first vessel to be launched under the new Emerald Yacht Cruises brand, part of Scenic’s Emerald Cruises portfolio.
“Emerald Waterways has been operating award-winning river cruises since 2014,” said Mr Moroney, owner and Chairman of the Scenic Group.
“The launch of Emerald Yacht Cruises and the stunning new Emerald Azzurra are a logical extension of the Emerald Cruises portfolio, adding intimate yacht cruising to its Emerald Waterways river cruise offering.
“This launch also provides a unique opportunity to introduce the Emerald Cruises brand to the Australian market”.

While certified for unrestricted passenger ship operations in all ocean regions except polar, Emerald Azzurra has been uniquely custom-designed to cruise the waters of the Adriatic Coast, the Red Sea and the Mediterranean offering guests an intimate, boutique yachting experience. As well as exploring the major highlights in these regions, guests will also have unique access to the smaller ports and harbours which can only be reached by small yachts, giving them the freedom to explore the authentic local towns and villages off the beaten tourist track.

Emerald Azzurra is being built by the Halong Shipbuilding Company (HLS) in Ha Long City, Vietnam and will be launched in July 2021. The Halong Shipbuilding Company is contracted to build the hull and fit all machinery for Emerald Azzurra, with all interior fitout being directly managed by Emerald Cruises project team.
