Adriatic Princess yacht

The 2017-built MV Adriatic Princess cruise ship is a premium yacht specifically designed to navigate along Croatia's Dalmatian Coast. Like the sistership Adriatic Princess 2 (2019), this 5-star luxury yacht cruises in the eastern Adriatic Sea and is operated under charter by Emerald Waterways.

Emerald Waterways is a new river cruise shipping company (2014-established) and brand owned by Scenic Tours (shipowner). Like the new longships of Viking River Cruises, the innovations implemented on Emerald Waterways ships make these vessels an alternative to the ocean "small-ship cruising". Emerald Waterways adds more cruise tour itinerary choices and sailing dates for the aficionados of the all-inclusive European luxury riverboat travel vacations.

Boat's shallow draft (2,6 m / 8,5 ft) allows it to slip into smaller ports and close to islands that bigger vessels can't access, including Korcula island and Trogir. The ship is fitted with the latest safety and navigation equipment, ensuring comfortable travel for its guests.
