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 its sister ship, the Adriatic Princess 2 (2019), this 5-star luxury yacht cruises the eastern Adriatic Sea and is operated under charter by Emerald Waterways.

Emerald Waterways is a new river cruise shipping company (established in 2014) and a brand owned by Scenic Tours (shipowner). Similar to the new longships of Viking River Cruises, the innovations aboard Emerald Waterways ships offer an alternative to ocean "small-ship cruising." Emerald Waterways provides more cruise tour itinerary options and sailing dates for those seeking all-inclusive European luxury riverboat vacations.

The ship's shallow draft (2.6 m / 8.5 ft) allows it to access smaller ports and islands that larger vessels cannot reach, including Korcula Island and Trogir. The ship is equipped with the latest safety and navigation technology, ensuring a comfortable cruising experience for its guests.
