Introducing… Emerald Raiya- the newest Emerald Cruise ship. In 2027, Emerald Cruises will welcome its fourth small luxury yacht. It’s expected to be based on the same sleek design and innovative features as the Emerald Kaia- launching in 2026. These next-generation superyachts truly redefine small-ship cruising.
Emerald Cruises are known for their luxury superyachts that are featured on incredible itineraries. Whether you’re after a laid back cruise through the Mediterranean, a magical experience of Seychelles, or a deep dive into the coastlines of France, Emerald Cruises host an array of itineraries on their superyachts.
View our Emerald Cruises offers here to explore the diverse range of itineraries.
The Emerald Raiya is larger than sister ships Emerald Azzura and Emerald Sakyra, designed to enhance your experience even more.
With only 128 guests onboard, the thoughtful design allows for space, luxury and elegantly appointed suites. Onboard spaces include the Sky Deck, Observation Sun Deck, Aqua Pool, Gym and the Elements Spa.
The larger Sky Deck has been reimaged with an indoor/outdoor bar and lounge, which overlooks the Spa Pool. Additional spacious cabanas create a private space to soak up the glorious ocean views.
Guests will find the elevated Observation Sun Deck features a new Spa Pool, sunbeds and sun lounges. Just a few steps away, the expanded Observation Lounge invites you to relax in style- ideal for unwinding with a good book or watching the world drift by.
Each elegant suite has been enhanced, however, the incredible Owner’s Suite now features the ultimate indulgence of a Spa Pool for two on the private terrace. Emerald Cruises has truly gone above and beyond in creating the most luxury cruising experience for guests.
Due to more space onboard, the dining experience has been elevated with greater options. Whether you’re after a table for two, or to share with fellow guests, it’s totally up to you! You’ll enjoy exquisite dining from the al fresco Aqua Pool and Cafe to the newly expanded La Cuina Terrace, or the exciting new Night Market Grill – a private dining experience for only eight guests.
With indulgent menus curated by talented chefs onboard, you’ll indulge in everything from five-course dinners to plentiful buffets. The Sky Bar and Lounge offers a variety of specialty cocktails and bar snacks, while the Aqua Pool and Cafe offers light meals, gelato and cool drinks- perfect to refresh after a swim.
Emerald Cruises are prominent in the wellness scene, offering rejuvenating therapies, open-air workout spaces and relaxing spa treatments. The Wellness Deck offers an innovative space to partake in open-air workouts in the expanded gym. You can even enjoy a refreshment in the Marina Lounge afterwards, or a refreshing ocean dip. At the enhanced Elements Spa, indulge in a soothing facial or relaxing massage. Revel in a traditional sauna experience, or utilise it for post-workout recovery. Emerald Cruises has curated a wellness experience, your way!
