On the other hand, the longer 12-day Ancient Wonders of the Red Sea and Mythical Greece itinerary will sail from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and call at Al Wahj, Duba, Aqaba and Sharm-el Sheik, as well as Ain Sokhna – the nearest beach resort to Cairo, Crete, Santorini and Athens. The trip will begin around mid-March.
Emerald Azzurra will be the first custom-built ocean superyacht from Emerald Cruises that will offer a luxury cruising experience to small ports and harbours only accessible by small ships. The superyacht will carry a small group of just 100 guests, spread across 50 deluxe suites and staterooms, with the majority of cabins having access to private balconies. It will be launched in coming January.
