Go beyond the ordinary on a luxurious Emerald Yacht Cruise

Cruise to the world's most coveted destinations in luxury and style.

Set sail on an exclusive, one-of-a-kind adventure with Emerald Yacht Cruises, where you’ll have the freedom to explore the most coveted locations at your own pace. And, with a dedicated staff, purpose-built design and no more than 128 guests, you’ll feel like you’re on your own private super yacht in no time.

Get access to the best ports and locations

The smaller size of Emerald Cruises’ award-winning luxury yachts has redefined cruising. These state-of-the-art yachts are nimble, and can negotiate small ports and harbours easily. Beautiful locales like Dubrovnik, Croatia on the Adriatic coast and St. Bart’s, the most desirable island in the Caribbean, are accessible to Emerald Sakara, Emerald Azzura as well as Emerald Kaia, a new ship coming in April 2026. All three luxury yachts are able to sail to the best ports and locations larger ships can’t reach.

In the evening, taste exceptional, unique dishes inspired by the regions you’re sailing through, all prepared using fresh, local ingredients.
