Sarah Wikevand, Managing Director of ROL Cruise, has been named Godmother of Emerald Cruises’ superyacht, Emerald Azzurra.
Wikevand will christen the 100-guest superyacht in Venice on 28 May 2022.

“She is a wonderful advocate for the cruising market and her dedication reflects our own commitment to growing this remarkable industry.”
“We cannot wait to welcome Sarah on board our stunning Emerald Azzurra in Venice next month, as this fantastic luxury yacht is officially christened,” said David Winterton, Emerald Cruises’ Global Director of Brand & Marketing.
“We value our trade partners highly and we’re thrilled that Sarah has graciously accepted to be Godmother to Emerald Azzurra.
“Sarah is set to become the third UK travel agent Godmother in our Emerald Cruises fleet and we’re honoured to continue this tradition showing our dedication to our partners,” Winterton added.
As Managing Director of ROL Cruise, Sarah is a highly regarded and well-respected cruise industry advocate.
As one of Emerald Cruises’ top performing agents for superyacht cruises, ROL Cruise has been instrumental in the success of launching Emerald Cruises’ first ocean superyacht, Emerald Azzurra.
“I have been working with the incredible Emerald Cruises team for over six years now and I am humbled to have been selected as Godmother for the line’s first ocean-going superyacht Emerald Azzurra.
“It is an honour to work closely with the team on such a monumental milestone for Emerald Cruises,” Wikevand commented.
Emerald Azzurra entered service on 12 March and is currently sailing an eight-day Croatia in Depth itinerary.
The superyacht will continue sailing the Adriatic and Mediterranean coastlines before repositioning to Doha, Qatar in December 2022 to cruise the Arabian Peninsula between Doha and Dubai.
