Luxury Yacht Cruising

See the world from a new perspective. Set sail on a cruise that immerses you in luxury and allows you access to fascinating ports and harbours that only small vessels can reach. Be one of only 100 guests with a dedicated crew of 76.

Lounge on an open-air deck as the soaring sea cliffs of Italy, the dazzling islands of Croatia, or the lush landscapes of the Caribbean or Seychelles drift by.

Anchor in picturesque bays where the marina toys offer an exciting watersports playground. Or retreat to your luxuriously modern suite to unwind and recharge.

From design innovations to exceptional service and locally inspired cuisine, we welcome you to a new era of luxury small ship cruising.

On Board Luxury | Within the sleek interiors of our yachts, discover a striking combination of deluxe bohemia. From the elegance of La Cucina Dining or the outdoor ambience of La Cucina Terrace, when you dine with us, the atmosphere and cuisine is world-class. Likewise, when you unwind in our Elements Spa & Wellness Centre or immerse yourself in the serenity of your private suite, you’ll feel a world away from your every day

First-Class Service | At Emerald Cruises, you’re in good hands from the moment you book your cruise to the day you step aboard and begin your journey.

They’ll anticipate your every need, answer all your questions and be there when you need them most.

Marine Playground | Imagine your captain anchoring in a quiet corner of the Mediterranean, so you can head down to the Marina Platform and dart across the iridescent sea with some of our water toys. Snorkel along the surface admiring the vivid sea life, or dive deeper with a SEABOB. Feeling a little more laid-back? Take a dip in our infinity-style Aqua Pool on the Pool Deck for swim-up views of towering cliffs rising out of the Mediterranean Sea.

Private Sanctuary | Both Emerald Sakara and Emerald Azzurra feature just 50 luxury suites and staterooms, 88 percent of which offer a private balcony or terrace.

Inside your private retreat, you’ll find complimentary bathrobes and slippers, an umbrella and a personal safe and telephone. Enjoy on-demand entertainment on your flat screen HDTV and settle in and make yourself comfortable with individual climate control in your stateroom or suite.

Generous Inclusions | At Emerald Cruises, we make sure everything is taken care of. Once you step aboard you don’t need to think about airport taxes, transfers, port charges or gratuities. When you dine with us, you’ll enjoy a selection of sommelier-paired wines and beers. You’ll also enjoy immersive travel experiences as part of EmeraldDISCOVERY, as well as welcome extras like state-of-the-art coffee and tea stations, Wi-Fi, and Gocycle electric bicycles for memorable onshore adventures.
