Luxury cruise line Emerald Cruises is offering new Caribbean itineraries for the winter 2024-25 season onboard the Emerald Azzurra.
Along with the new sailings, guests who book through July 7 can enjoy 2-for-1 fares and up to $3,000 in FlexCredit per suite. Guests can also save an additional $1,000 per suite for select 2024 departures.
Emerald Azzurra was originally meant to spend next winter in the Red Sea, but that has changed. The ship will join the Emerald Sakara in the Caribbean instead, sailing from December 7, 2024 through February 22, 2025.
The ship will sail an 8-day “Caribbean Yachting Hideaways” itinerary, offering a chance to discover slower-paced Caribbean life while visiting smaller ports like Culebra Island, Vieques Island and Little Bay, Montserrat.
The second itinerary, “Caribbean Yachting Discovery,” is an 8-day itinerary from San Juan visiting some of the best beaches in the region, with port stays in Jost Van Dyke, Norman Island, Barbuda and more.
Additionally, a special New Year’s Eve sailing departing on December 28 with a special party celebrating the beginning of the New Year while anchored off St. Barths.
“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 Ken Muskat, Managing Director of Scenic Group USA. “This adjustment not only enhances our offerings in highly sought-after destinations but ensures guests’ safety and satisfaction. Emerald Azzurra’s new schedule has been meticulously crafted to access unique ports that larger vessels simply cannot reach, providing exclusive and intimate exploration for all onboard.”
