EMERALD Cruises will grow its yacht cruising portfolio with the build of a second luxury superyacht, Emerald Sakara.
The second ship will be welcomed to the fleet in 2023, along with the addition of a new sailing destination — The Seychelles, where Sakara will undertake her maiden voyage.
She will then join sister-yacht Emerald Azzurra sailing the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Red and Black Seas.
Like her sister, 88% of Sakara’s cabins will have a balcony, with staterooms on sale from yesterday.
The additional capacity is required to keep up with strong demand for Emerald’s ocean-going itineraries, which saw Black Sea sailings sell out within two weeks of being released during the pandemic.
Construction is underway in Ha Long, with the hull steel already cut.
