If you are taking a cruise on the Emerald Azzura or her sister ship Emerald Sakara you may be wondering which cabin to pick.
I have just disembarked the Emerald Azzurra, after a wonderful cruise from Athens. We travelled through the Corinth Canal, and around the Greek Isles.
I stayed in a balcony cabin at the front of deck 5.
There were 76 crew members and only 85 guests onboard.

Solo Cabins
There are no dedicated solo cabins onboard.

There are 36 Balcony Staterooms. These can be found on decks 4 and 5.
My balcony stateroom was right at the front of deck 5, and in front of it was the bridge.
These cabins have a maximum capacity of 2 people.
The cabin size is around 285-310 ft² / 27-29 m²
These balcony suites have a maximum capacity of 2 people.
To find out more about what I thought about my stateroom, watch this video next:
Deluxe Balcony Suite
There are only two deluxe Balcony Suites on each ship.
These have an extra separate seating area, so are larger than the standard Balcony cabins.
The cabin size is between 35.5m² – 37.5m² / 383 -398 ft²
These balcony suites have a maximum capacity of 2 people.
Terrace Suite
There are two Terrace suites on the aft of deck 5.
The Cabin size is around 665 ft² / 62 m².
These suites have a maximum capacity of 2 people.
They have a very large private Terrace area, far far larger than your standard cruise ship balcony!
Yacht Suites
There are two Yacht Suites situated at the Aft of deck 4.
They measure around 721 ft² / 67 m².
Similar to the Terrace suites, they have a very large private Terrace area.
These suites have a maximum capacity of 2 people.
Owners Suite
There are two owners suites. These are the highest category suites onboard.
They can be found at the front of deck 6.

They have a separate bedroom, lounge and dining area inside.
Outside there is a large wraparound balcony/terrace area with a corner sofa, a second dining table and padded sun loungers.
These owners suites have a maximum capacity of 3 people.
Do Emerald Ocean Cruises Provide Bathrobes and Slippers?
As you would expect on a luxury ship such as this, all categories of cabins come with bathrobes and slippers.
Also Provided As Standard…
- Indulgent toiletries and a hairdryer
- Complimentary Wi-Fi
- Flat screen HDTV and infotainment system
- Personal safe
- Complimentary water, restocked daily
Cabins to Avoid on Emerald Azzurra And Emerald Sakara
There are no bad cabins on Emerald Azzurra or Sakara.
Usually here I’d write about how you should avoid cabins above the theatre (there is no theatre onboard Azzurra) or under the pool deck (there isn’t a deck like this).
Oceanview Stateroom cabins are the smallest and cheapest onboard. These are the only cabins onboard without their own balcony.
Oceanview cabins 301 and 302 are slightly smaller than the others, so maybe avoid these two.

Another cruise line that offer more affordable “luxury” cruises on larger ships are Azamara. Find out about what they include in their cruise fares here:

Azamara, although a luxury cruise line, do have a few inside cabins. As i always try to cruise on a budget, I chose one of those. Find out all about my cabin, and whether i got a luxury experience in the article below:
