Swiss cruise line, Emerald Cruises has teamed up with Canadian celebrity chef, Michael Bonacini–known for his role both as a judge on Master Chef Canada and his Oliver & Bonacini restaurant empire–for an exciting new venture. This time, it includes an Italian cruise. The gastronomy-themed sailing cruise adventure will be aboard the Emerald Azzurra. The super yacht, which has a passenger capacity of 100, will be leaving from Rome on April 4 2023. The best part? It’s set to cover the expanse of Southern Italy, including destinations like Amalafi, Sicily, Sorrento and Monopoli.

If you’re an enthusiast with an interest in celebrating Italian cuisine, then this one’s for you.
Bookings for the cabin are open. If you get one done by June 30 2022, you’ll also get a free, round-trip air to Europe! Plus, there are also balcony suites available, with a starting price of $8,350 CAD per person. This comes with food, drinks, airport transfers and more.
The Emerald Azzurra specifically also has an innovative infrared sauna. Oh, and did I mention there’s an infinity pool, spa and gym? So you don’t have to worry about missing out on your regular gym sesh even while travelling. It caters to cyclists too, hosting many electronic bikes from Gocycle.
The super yacht is the first ocean-going vessel from the Emerald Cruises line. The second one, Emerald Sakura, is set to be launched in 2023.
