Bookings are now open for new 2023-2024 ocean journeys on Emerald Cruises’ luxury yacht Emerald Azzurra and its sister vessel Emerald Sakara, which is due to join the fleet next year. The 100-passenger, 50-suite vessels will sail around new ports in the Mediterranean before embarking on transatlantic voyages to the Caribbean, where they will spend the winter. After visiting ports in Central America, the yachts will head back to Europe in spring 2024.
To celebrate the new itineraries, the company is offering 30% off its 2023 Caribbean cruises as part of its Star-Studded Savings Sale. Bookings must be made between July 1-14, 2022 and full payment must be made within 72 hours of booking.
Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara are ideal ways to explore the Caribbean and Central America because they can “access the small harbors and bays that the big cruise ships can’t get to,” said Maggie Carbonell, v.p. of marketing for Emerald Cruises US, in a press statement. “The marina platform on the yachts’ aft will be a huge draw in these ports, where guests can snorkel, kayak, paddleboard or just play in the turquoise waters.”
Emerald Cruises is offering 11 Caribbean and Central America itineraries in 2023-2024, ranging from eight to 18 days. As well as exploring the places like the Grenadines, West Indies, Panama and Costa Rica, the yachts will stop at several new ports of call including Cartagena, Terre-de-Haut and the uninhabited Isla Tortuga. Highlights from these 2023-2024 itineraries include:
