| Emerald to homeport cruises in Antigua

EMERALD Cruises’ Emerald Azzurra will operate voyages based in the West Indies island of Antigua in 2023, with roundtrip voyages from St John’s kicking off in Nov next year.

A new partnership with the destination will also see the new Emerald Sakara visit both Antigua and Barbuda in Jan 2024, with Dona Regis-Prosper, GM of Antigua Cruise Port, saying the move is the result of strategic positioning for the country as the Caribbean’s “luxury choice destination”, which has seen meticulous attention to elements such as hotel partnerships, airport movements and transfers.
