Guests who choose this partnership of Qatar Tourism and Emerald Cruises for their vacation can also purchase a tailor-made three-day package to explore Qatar, including short trips to top cultural attractions. Tourists can visit the National Museum of Qatar, Souq Waqif in Doha, or the Inland Sea to name a few.
“In line with the Qatar National Vision 2030 national strategy, we are expanding our tourism value proposition and look forward to welcoming travelers from around the world to experience the best of Qatari hospitality both at sea and on land.
“Emerald Cruises’ new itineraries are a further step towards realizing this vision,” commented Berthold Trenkel, Chief Operating Officer of Qatar Tourism.
In response, Rob Voss, COO of Scenic Group, added:
“We are delighted to launch our new superyacht, Emerald Azzurra, to the vibrant city of Doha, Qatar next winter.
“In partnership with Qatar Tourism, our guests will experience first-hand and in the style of a luxury yacht the stunning beauty and hospitality of the Gulf region and Qatar in particular. It will be magical.”
Emerald Azzurra, 110 meters long, can accommodate 100 guests in 50 impressive deluxe rooms with balconies. With a sky bar, observation deck, cozy lounge, expansive spa areas, pool and marina platforms, the ship is more than ready to offer unforgettable cruising experiences and luxurious travel services to its visitors.
The state-of-the-art superyacht Emerald Azzurra, the 10th vessel in the company’s fleet, will embark on her maiden voyage in March 2022, while the line’s second superyacht, Emerald Sakara, is scheduled to enter service in early 2023.
Qatar is looking to expand its cruise sector, with the cruise season running from October to April. A new Grand Cruise Terminal will soon open in central Doha, offering more capacity and new tourist attractions.
Qatar will also host the 2022 FIFA World Cup which is scheduled for November.
