The 361 feet (110 meters), 100 passenger superyacht is designed to combine the amenities of cruising with the luxuries of a private yacht. With two owner’s suites of 110 m2 including an outside terrace, another 42 suites all with terrace or balcony and 6 luxury ocean view staterooms, these new superyachts will provide their guests a very comfortable voyage when cruising to their destinations in the Red Sea, Seychelles, or Mediterranean ports.

Superyacht facilities exceeding expectations 

Onboard this new superyacht the passengers can relax in a large infinity pool, treat themselves at the spa, keep fit in the gym or indulge in water activities from the marina platform. With SEABOBs, paddleboards, snorkeling equipment, and a fleet of electronic bikes from Gocycle to be used for trips in ports, the guests will never run out of activities.

Additionally, the Emerald Azzurra has a large sky deck bar, observation lounge, café by the pool and a restaurant that offers three dining locations. The superyacht will be staffed by 64 crew, making sure the guests will receive exceptional service during their entire onboard stay. 

Glen Moroney, Founder and Chairman of the Scenic Group commented on the new ship as a milestone for the cruise line.

“Today marks a major moment for our team at Emerald Cruises as the first in our fleet of ocean-going superyachts takes a giant step towards completion. We look forward to welcoming our first guests on board Emerald Azzurra and we are confident she will exceed all expectations. The demand has been unprecedented with her inaugural season almost fully sold,” he said. “This yacht represents the next generation of yacht cruising, taking guests to new destinations with on board luxury amenities that are unlike any other small-ship experience. Her sister yacht – Emerald Sakara – will follow early next year, providing double the opportunities for guests to join us on board our ground-breaking vessels.”

Zenitel equipment onboard Emerald Superyachts

Zenitel is extremely proud to share the news that onboard the Emerald Azzurra and the Emerald Sakara (the sister vessel that will be delivered to Emerald Cruises in February 2023), we have installed a range of equipment and systems consisting of:

  • VSP Batteryless Telephone System with Fire Alarm relay module and a range of headsets for handsfree operation in engine room and mooring decks. 
  • CIS Talk Back System with horn loudspeakers and rotary lights for better notification of incoming calls in noisy areas.
  • SPA PAGA System with A and B loop placed in different vertical zones to ensure operational efficiency in case of an emergency if one system is to fail. 
  • More than 500 loudspeakers of various range, from fire dome to bathroom ceiling speakers, horn speakers, and Ex speakers for Ex areas onboard. 

Dragan Radošević, Senior VP Maritime EMEA and Americas Zenitel, spoke about this project that he secured together with his team in Croatia. Which is one of many contracts secured with Scenic Group over the last years. 

“We are proud to say that Scenic Group sees us as a preferred supplier of critical and intelligent onboard communications for many of their vessel, and especially for their new-build program. With deliveries to both Scenic Eclipse I and II and now the Emerald Azzurra and Sakara we feel confident that our onboard communication solutions fit very well in the superyacht market”
