  Emerald Cruises redeploys ship to Caribbean - News & announcements

  Luxury cruise operator Emerald Cruises has unveiled new Caribbean cruise itineraries for the upcoming winter season on board Emerald Azzurra. This 2024/2025 winter expansion comes in response to strong demand for Caribbean cruises on sister yacht Emerald Sakara, which are nearly at full capacity for the upcoming season. The repositioning of Emerald Azzurra increases Emerald Cruises’ presence in the Caribbean, while pushing back its 2024/2025 Seychelles season in light of the ongoing situation in the Red Sea. The new Caribbean itineraries will sail from 7 December 2024 until 22 February 2025, with Emerald Cruises currently offering up to 30% off its full collection of yacht cruise itineraries. “Our decision to increase our Caribbean presence reflects the strong guest interest in this region,” said Nichola Absalom, MD, sales & marketing, Scenic Group UK. The 15-day ‘Discover the Yachting islands of the Caribbean’ sailing visits the Caribbean’s smaller ports, and less-travelled islands. Calls include Jost van Dyke and Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands, Montserrat and Antigua. Other highlights include stays in St. Barths and visits to Guadeloupe and Barbuda in the Leeward Islands. Prices for the 15-day ‘Discover the Yachting islands of the Caribbean’ sailing start from £6,256 per person, including return flights, transfers, meals, Wi-Fi and excursions. The eight-day ‘Caribbean Yachting Discovery’ highlights the Caribbean lifestyle, with most days spent at anchor, allowing guests to explore secluded beaches across the Caribbean. Guests can explore from the yacht’s Marina Platform, with use of snorkelling gear, kayaks, and SEABOB water scooters. Prices for the eight-day Caribbean Yachting Discovery sailing start from £3,529 per person.
