Emerald Princess is a Grand-class cruise ship for Princess Cruises that entered service in April 2007. Her sister ships include Ruby Princess and Crown Princess. She features two nightclubs, a piazza-style atrium, multiple pools and hot tubs, a spa, and a gym. Unlike her earlier sisters such as Caribbean Princess, Emerald Princess does not have a disco overhanging the stern, but the same stern as her near-sisters Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess.
Emerald Princess launched from the Italian shipyard of Fincantieri Monfalcone on June 1, 2006.[1] She was then handed over to Princess Cruises on March 24, 2007.[3] Emerald Princess was christened on 13 May 2007, in Greece.[4]
