Emerald Cruises

Small Ships, Big Destinations

Emerald Cruises takes a different approach to luxury: purpose-built yachts carrying just 100 guests, designed to access ports and coastlines that larger ships simply can’t reach. The Seychelles, the Red Sea, the Adriatic’s hidden harbors — these are destinations that reward intimacy. If you’ve done the big-ship thing and want something that feels more like a private expedition, Emerald hits the mark.

All-Inclusive by Default

Everything’s covered. All meals, specialty dining, beverages including cocktails and wine, sunrise yoga, the gym, transfers, and gratuities. There’s no tiered pricing or drink package upsell. You board, you relax, and the bill is already settled. It’s the kind of simplicity that luxury travelers — especially busy executives — genuinely appreciate.

The Fleet

Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara are sailing now, each carrying around 100 guests across 50 staterooms. Emerald Kaia joins the fleet in spring 2026, with two more yachts arriving in 2027. Every ship features an infinity pool, a marina platform for water sports directly from the stern, and the kind of personalized service that only comes with a small crew-to-guest ratio.

Destinations & Experiences

Emerald’s yacht size opens up itineraries that bigger ships can’t touch. Sail the Mediterranean through Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, explore the Greek islands without the mega-ship crowds, or venture to the Caribbean and Red Sea. For travelers drawn to small-ship cruising, Emerald delivers the intimacy of a private yacht with the infrastructure of a proper cruise line. Pair it with a culinary journey — their onboard dining draws heavily from each region’s local food traditions.
