Sailing in luxury on Emerald Azzurra
Part of the Emerald Cruises fleet, the 100-guest Emerald Azzurra is a small, luxury cruise ship, offering a bespoke ambiance with personalized service. Meanwhile, what this small ship doesn’t have is noisy entertainment, long queues, a casino, crowds or a late-night disco with pounding music.That doesn’t mean that the ship doesn’t have entertainment. What it does offer is varied activities and low-key evenings with trivia games and contests. Moreover, guests are treated to unpretentious, local onboard entertainment, such as a guitarist or local dance troupe. The Emerald Azzurra also serves guests delicious food, offering regional specialties and a great selection.
While all this is on the plus scale, there is one minus aspect. This is a small ship, which has excellent stabilizers, but it can still roll a little in choppy seas. However, your captain offers guests weather reports throughout the day and will on occasion alert passengers with motion sickness issues.All the details about the Emerald Cruises ship
