Discover the Art of Island-Hopping in the Caribbean on a Chic and Cozy Yacht

The Caribbean embodies travel fantasies, with its breathtaking natural landscapes, delightful island communities, and sun-soaked days that promise a perpetual summer glow. Experienced travelers, including Emerald Cruises, understand that the mode of transport can define your vacation experience.

Be among the first to embark on the Caribbean journey aboard Emerald Azzurra, a luxurious new yacht from the Emerald Cruises fleet, accommodating just 100 guests. Alternatively, reserve a spot on her sister yacht, Emerald Sakara, set to launch in August 2023. It’s the perfect way to explore this stunning region filled with over 700 islands, reefs, and cays.

A breathtaking arrival - an experience unique to yacht travel

Emerald Azzurra (and soon Emerald Sakara) is the preferred yacht for travelers eager to visit charming ports exclusive to smaller cruise ships. With a limited number of fellow explorers, you’ll avoid the chaos of commercial ports and instead bask in the relaxed and attentive atmosphere that discerning travelers crave during a Caribbean getaway. The toughest decision might be picking your destinations from over 10 island-hopping itineraries, featuring the Grenadines, Grenada, the Eastern Caribbean, Central America, and more.

Uncover the lesser-known charm of St. Barths, a hidden gem cherished by the elite and those seeking solitude. It offers a relaxed atmosphere with minimal crowds, allowing you to escape everyday life for a slice of paradise. Alternatively, savor the elegance of Guadeloupe’s Terre-de-Haut, often likened to the South of France, yet adorned with tropical greenery and an island perspective. Here, locals converse in French and blend island culinary traditions with European sophistication. And the iconic azure waters of Saint Lucia await you—a stunning destination that uniquely blends Caribbean, African, English, and French cultures on one breathtaking island.

Experience the most rejuvenating onboard activities in the Caribbean

Sleek and sophisticated, Emerald Azzurra resembles a floating boutique hotel, gliding through the sea's diamond-like reflections with elegance—an experience mirrored in the exceptional hospitality provided by the crew. While guests enjoy ample opportunities to indulge in local cuisine during island visits, they also relish gourmet meals prepared onboard. Skilled chefs craft dinners highlighting fresh, local ingredients, paired with exquisite wines selected by the sommelier.

Savor a drink on the alfresco terrace or in the cozy lounge, or lose yourself in a book in one of the tranquil corners—there’s nothing like enjoying a best-seller with an ocean breeze and a refreshing gelato. Stay active and rejuvenate at the yacht’s state-of-the-art gym, infinity-style pool, spa, infrared sauna, and wellness classes. Relax and recharge in your elegantly appointed suite or stateroom, featuring a modern design that surpasses expectations and resembles a page from a luxury magazine.

Dive into the enduring charm of colonial history and captivating natural experiences

The warm hospitality and exceptional service on board complement the alluring desire to explore the island—whether on foot or via your complimentary electric bike. By avoiding larger ports, Emerald Azzurra immerses guests in vibrant local communities, where residents gather, dine, and relax. Outings designed by experienced journey planners offer enriching experiences, such as wildlife encounters, artisanal shopping, live performances, scenic hilltop hikes, guided explorations, and leisurely strolls through iconic streets, along with responsible access to pristine natural areas. When the captain anchors in the stunning blue waters, guests can jump right in with marine toys or explore underwater using snorkeling gear or SEABOBs.

This is how Emerald Cruises invites you to delve deeper into the Caribbean’s unique blend of cultural and natural diversity, which is hard to find elsewhere. For those seeking both intimacy and adventure, along with impeccable service infused with moments of tranquility, delightful surprises, and consistent quality, the Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara yachts are poised to welcome you.
