Emerald Cruises confirms Azzurra repositioning next winter
Gary NoakesEmerald Cruises will reposition Azzurra in the Caribbean next winter following the continued conflict in the Middle East.
The decision follows strong demand for Emerald Sakara’s Caribbean sailings, which the brand said had nearly reached full capacity.
Emerald said it was postponing Azzurra’s 2024/2025 Seychelles season “to prioritise guest safety 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 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 and aligns with changes in the Red Sea conditions,” said Nichola Absalom, Scenic Group UK managing director, sales & marketing.
The 15-day Discover the Yachting islands of the Caribbean sailing visits smaller ports and less-visited islands, including Jost van Dyke and Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands, plus Montserrat and Antigua.
Other highlights include stays in St Barts and visits to Guadeloupe and Barbuda. Prices start from £6,256pp, including return flights, transfers, meals, WiFi and excursions, based on the 14 December departure.
There is also an eight-day Caribbean Yachting Discovery itinerary, with most days spent at anchor, allowing guests to explore beaches and swimming spots. It is priced from £3,529pp.
