Relaxed Luxury,
At Sea.
Emerald Yacht Cruises
Boutique Superyachts, Effortless Style
Emerald Yacht Cruises brings the Scenic Group’s “relaxed luxury” ethos to the ocean aboard a fleet of sleek, contemporary superyachts. Carrying just 100 to 128 guests, these boutique ships slip into small ports and hidden harbors that larger vessels can’t reach, delivering an intimate, unhurried way to explore some of the world’s most beautiful coastlines.
The experience is refined but relaxed — no formal nights, no crowds, and a genuinely social atmosphere with plenty of open-air space. Included excursions, complimentary beverages throughout the day, and attentive service make it easy to settle in and let the itinerary unfold.
For travelers who love the idea of a private yacht charter but want the amenities and ease of a small ship, Emerald hits the sweet spot.
The Emerald Yacht Fleet
Groundbreaking Small Ships, Built for Discovery
Emerald’s yachts are among the newest and most thoughtfully designed small ships at sea. Purpose-built for warm-water cruising, each carries just 100 to 128 guests, small enough to reach intimate ports larger ships sail right past. A signature retractable Marina Platform, an infinity-style Aqua Pool, sun-soaked decks, and airy lounges give every yacht a social, open-air feel. Each ship delivers the same relaxed luxury, so your choice comes down to where you want to sail and when.
Current & Upcoming Yachts
- Emerald Azzurra (2022) – The original 100-guest superyacht that launched the brand, sailing the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Red Sea, and Caribbean.
- Emerald Sakara (2023) – Sister to Azzurra, mirroring her open decks, wellness spaces, and Marina Platform for 100 guests.
- Emerald Kaia (2026) – A next-generation yacht for 128 guests, with an expanded Sky Deck, larger spa and fitness areas, new dining venues, and roomier suites.
- Emerald Raiya (2027) & Emerald Xara (2028) – Two further yachts extending the fleet across the Mediterranean, Seychelles, and — with Xara — into Asia, Australia, and the South Pacific.
Perfectly sized for sailing into the heart of port towns, each Emerald yacht opens up destinations in ways larger ships simply cannot.
