History

  • 2021: Année de construction

The brand's first yacht

The Emerald Azzurra was delivered on 8 February 2022 by a Ha Long yard, in Vietnam, and put to sea on 11 March 2022 from Aqaba, in Jordan. She was christened in Venice on 28 May the same year. One hundred and ten metres, sixteen metres in beam, seven decks of which six carry travellers, under the Bahamas flag.

One hundred travellers, 50 cabins and suites. Here is the most concrete difference from the same brand's river ships: forty-four cabins out of fifty have a real step-out balcony, furnished with two chairs and a table. You walk onto it. The six cabins on deck three have only a window.

A ship that has changed seas often

Red Sea in 2022, Persian Gulf from January 2023, Caribbean from November 2023, Mediterranean and Aegean in 2026. The 2024-2025 Seychelles season was postponed because of the situation in the Red Sea, and the yacht was redeployed to the Caribbean.

Her maiden voyage had itself been put back twice, from July 2021 to March 2022. That mobility is a commercial asset and a planning constraint: on a yacht this size, a programme can move from one ocean to another in a season.

Our inventory counts one hundred and eighty-three departures, twenty-six in 2026 and sixty-nine in 2027, plus dates through to 2029.

The other ships in the fleet

The Emerald Sakara is her twin. The Emerald Kaia is larger and more recent. The Emerald Xara enters service in Asia in 2028. The Emerald Harmony holds the Mekong.

An owned fleet, not a chartered one

The Australian group behind this brand does not rent its ships: it owns them. Since 2020 it also owns a shipbuilder in Croatia, and it calls its own the Vietnamese yard its yachts come from. The river hulls come from Dutch yards, one of the most recent from Romania.

The difference shows the day a third-party shipowner takes a hull back for its own brand, which does happen elsewhere in European river cruising. Here the question does not arise in the same way.

The inclusions, and what not to transpose

The fare covers gratuities to the crew, the guides and the drivers, standard drinks at meals, at least one excursion per touring day and internet access. On the river ships, electric bicycles are available.

What it does not cover here: the international flight. Note that the same brand's British offer does cover it, transfers included. It is the most common confusion about this line, and it costs dearly when discovered at payment.

Reduced mobility: read this before booking

Able companion required. Folding wheelchair only. Mobility scooter judged unsuitable. The line itself warns that cabin and bathroom doors may not be wide enough for a standard wheelchair.

No number of adapted cabins is published for the river fleet, and on the yachts the absence of an adapted cabin is established by two independent sources. Add mooring abreast, common in Europe: the passenger on the outer ship crosses the neighbouring vessel by narrow gangways and stairs.

The Quebec frame

This brand's contract is signed by an Australian company. No Quebec licence is established for it. It is the agency that brings the protection: a licence from the Office de la protection du consommateur, a trust account separate from the firm's own funds, and the Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents. Those three follow a booking made here, and only that one.

Frequently Asked Questions

One hundred and ten metres long and sixteen in beam, across seven decks of which six carry travellers. One hundred travellers and 50 cabins and suites: this is a yacht, not a liner, and it shows from boarding.
She was delivered on 8 February 2022 by a Ha Long yard, in Vietnam, and put to sea on 11 March 2022 from Aqaba. She was christened in Venice on 28 May the same year.
The Australian group that sells the cruise. It owns its hulls and calls its own the Vietnamese yard its yachts come from. This is not a ship chartered from a third-party shipowner.
Forty-four out of fifty, yes: a step-out balcony furnished with two chairs and a table, that you genuinely walk onto. It is the clearest difference from the same brand's river ships. The six cabins on deck three have only a window.
A platform that folds out at the stern at anchor, in favourable weather. It gives access to the water from the yacht, with kayaks, paddleboards, snorkelling gear and towed craft depending on the ship.
No. There is neither an accessible cabin nor an accessible bathroom aboard this brand's yachts: two independent sources establish it. The line requires an able companion, accepts folding wheelchairs only and judges scooters unsuitable.
Often by tender, at anchor, when the yacht cannot come alongside. That means going down a gangway ladder and stepping into a moving boat. Reasonable mobility is required.
She has changed seas often: Red Sea, Persian Gulf, Caribbean, then Mediterranean and Aegean. On a ship this size, a programme can move from one ocean to another in a single season.
Yes. The 2024-2025 Seychelles season was postponed because of the situation in the Red Sea, and the yacht was redeployed to the Caribbean. Her maiden voyage had itself been put back twice.
Not for the crew, the local guides or the drivers: all of that is in the fare. No daily service charge appears on the onboard account, which simplifies the end of the cruise.
Yes, with beer and soft drinks, at lunch as at dinner. Specialty coffees and teas are available all day. Premium brands remain an extra.
Partly. The general conditions exclude excursions on ocean cruises, but the itinerary pages announce one included per call. The contradiction comes from the supplier: check itinerary by itinerary.
Yes, the international flight is not included in the offer sold in Quebec. Note that the same brand's British catalogue does include it, transfers as well. Two products, one name.
One hundred and eighty-three departure dates in our inventory, twenty-six in 2026 and sixty-nine in 2027, with dates through to 2029. The programme beyond winter 2027-2028 remains thinly detailed at the supplier.
In Quebec, a licensed agency places the sums it receives in a trust account separate from its own funds. The Compensation Fund for Customers of Travel Agents then steps in as the law provides.
