First pictures of new Emerald Cruises vessel released

Emerald Cruises has released the first pictures of Emerald Azzurra as it announced that agents can earn double the number of points for each superyacht booking.

Points accrued through bookings for the line’s first ocean-going vessel logged through the line’s River Rewards & More platform can be exchanged for gifts such as Dyson products and Apple Airpods as well as Love2shop vouchers.

Agents earn 400 points – or £40 – for every booking currently, the line said.

The 100-passenger Emerald Azzurra, which launched in Aqaba, Jordan, last month, is first of two superyachts to join the fleet.

The vessel features a wellness centre, with Technogym equipment; a sauna and its marina platform provides guests with access to water sports and activities.

More than 80% of the 50 staterooms and suites feature private balconies.
