The Emerald Princess


We are looking forward to sailing again in 2011. The Emerald Princess, a grand-class ship, was launched in 2007. We sailed on her back in 2009 when she was less than two years old. The Emerald Princess weighs 113,000 GT. Is 951 ft in length and has 15 passenger decks. She can carry 3114 passengers and 1200 crew members and can reach a speed of 21.5 kn or 39.82 km/h.

The Emerald is a sister to two other ships, the Crown and the Ruby Princess. They all have identical layouts which includes a gym, spa, several dining areas (traditional, anytime, buffet, pizzeria, grill (hamburgers, hotdogs, etc), Scoops (ice cream), International Cafe/Patisserie, the huge LED MUTS (movies under the stars) screen, handful of entertainment venus, casino, 3-level piazza, shops, four pools, golf simulator, small jogging track, the Sanctuary, library, internet cafe, and much more.

The cabins range from interiors to exteriors (158 to 181 sq ft), balconies (233 to 285 sq ft), mini-suites (323 sq ft), to regular suites (468 to 591 sq ft).



We are looking forward to cruising again on the Emerald.
