EMERALD Cruises’ Emerald Azzurra (pictured) has celebrated its successful sea trials, conducted by Captain Jonathan Edwards and Marine Operations Manager Robert O’Leary, along with more than 98 specialised crew, contractors and shipyard staff.
The sea trials took place in Ha Long, departing Ha Long Shipyard on 20 Nov, and were completed within 48 hours.
Azzurra will shortly undergo the final touches to her interior and exterior, and will complete the training of the on-board teams before her maiden voyage on 28 Jan, the Best of the Red Sea itinerary.
She is the 10th vessel in the Emerald fleet, joining nine river cruising Star-Ships.
The cruise line’s superyacht, Emerald Sakara, is set to join the fleet in early 2023.
“During Emerald Azzurra’s sea trials, all design parameters were exceeded, including speed, noise, vibration and overall comfort and maneuverability whilst sailing.
“Azzurra really is a very special superyacht, and will undoubtedly deliver a fantastic experience for our guests.”
