| Emerald Cruises will launch its ocean-going line in 2022 with the 100-passenger superyacht the Emerald Azzurra. River cruise brand Emerald Waterways and its ocean cruise sister line, Emerald Yacht Cruises, will operate under a single global brand, Emerald Cruises. Emerald Cruises will feature both its river and ocean cruises on one website www.emeraldcruises.com. "We believe moving to a single brand will support our long-term growth ambitions as a leading small-ship cruise company," said David Winterton, global director of brand and marketing for Emerald Cruises. Emerald's river line launched in 2013 as a subsidiary of Australia-based Scenic Group. In early 2020, it said it would launch an ocean cruising line to its portfolio, with the 100-guest superyacht the Emerald Azzurra.
