EMERALD Cruises & Tours’ Emerald Kaia has completed her successful sea trials in advance of her inaugural season, which begins in Apr.
Sea trials were conducted out of Scenic Group’s Ha Long Bay shipyard, marking a major milestone ahead of Kaia’s inaugural 11-day ‘Cyprus to the Acropolis’ sailing.
The trials confirmed Kaia’s performance, manoeuvrability and seaworthiness.
“This milestone is a testament to the dedication of everyone involved in the project,” general manager ocean operations James Griffiths said.
“Operationally, this sea trial has delivered excellent results and allows us to proceed with the final phase of commissioning with confidence,” he said.
The ship will now move into the final fittings and delivery.
“We’ve been delighted by the strong demand for our luxury yacht cruise collection, and the addition of the next-generation yacht Emerald Kaia provides much-needed capacity to support this growth,” the cruise line’s director of sales & marketing Angus Crichton said.
