Emerald Waterways has marked a month until the launch of its new “star-ship” Emerald Harmony with the release of an enthralling time lapse video showing the ship slowly coming together.
Following sea trials in July, Harmony will debut on the Mekong, offering Asian-inspired luxury options such as its Horizon Bar and Lounge, and Lotus Lounge, which will be exclusive to Harmony.
Harmony, says Emerald, has been custom-designed to sail into the heart of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City. It is Emerald’s eighth river ship, and its first to operate outside of Europe.
David Winterton, Emerald’s UK head of marketing and global brand curator, revealed Harmony was already 90% sold for its maiden season, which will explore Vietnam and Cambodia.
The ship can accommodate 84 guests in total, and also features the line’s signature sun and pool decks, as well as a wellness area complete with spa.
Scenic and Emerald Waterways provide a complete "one-stop shop", offering two complementary brands designed to make selling river cruising plain sailing.
