Emerald showcases progress of two new ships

A new video showcasing the initial build of Emerald Waterways’ new super yacht has been released.

The film of Emerald Azzurra has been issued by the Scenic Group company ahead of the vessel’s planned launch in the Mediterranean next summer.

The first images from the building of new river cruise vessel Emerald Luna have also been revealed.

This year’s sailings are currently suspended until June 30 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Scenic Group chairman Glen Moroney: “Our time-lapse video shows construction progress of Emerald Azzurra is still on schedule, with the shipyard progressing their works on construction and pre-outfitting of hull blocks as expected.

“Whilst there are some delays in equipment delivery from Europe and China, we continue to work with the shipyard on how to minimise impact on delivery.

“The entire Emerald Yacht Cruises team are excited to see the project progressing and look forward to welcoming guests on board this magnificent yacht as it begins cruising the Mediterranean in 2021.”

He added: “Emerald Luna is progressing well and at this point, all construction and equipment delivery is on schedule.

“Emerald Luna will be the ninth ship in Emerald Waterways fleet after Emerald Harmony commenced cruising the Mekong in August 2019.

“She will join Emerald Sky, Star, Sun, Dawn and Destiny cruising the Rhine, Maine and Danube Rivers from May 2021.

“Emerald Liberté, sailing on the Rhône River and Emerald Radiance, sailing on the Douro River complete the fleet.”
