Emerald Cruises Says Med Yacht Journeys Enjoying “Exceptional Momentum”

Emerald Cruises Says Med Yacht Journeys Enjoying “Exceptional Momentum”

Sleek and elegant Emerald yachts.

The Mediterranean has long been the backdrop for grand voyages, golden sunsets, and lingering stories. Emerald Cruises and Tours is inviting travellers to experience this iconic region in a way it describes as “personal, intimate, and quietly luxurious.”  

From the sun-drenched Riviera to the storied cityscapes of Venice, Dubrovnik, Athens and beyond, Emerald Cruises’ 2026 and 2027 Mediterranean and Adriatic journeys deliver an intimate and immersive luxury yachting experience.    

“We are experiencing exceptional momentum in the Mediterranean as travelers increasingly seek super yacht experiences that combine authenticity with ease,” said Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group US & LATAM. 

“Emerald’s intimate yachts allow guests to explore iconic coastlines and lesser-known gems with anywhere from 100 to 128 fellow travellers, creating a highly personalized environment both onboard and ashore. With limited inventory for 2026 and 2027, this growth underscores the market’s appetite for curated, immersive journeys delivered in a contemporary and approachable luxury setting.” 

Emerald Yachts offer an intimate, luxurious experience.

Reasons Your Clients Will Enjoy Yachting in the Mediterranean with Emerald 

  • Boutique yacht experience: Ocean-going luxury yachts designed for spaces only small ships can access, including hidden harbours and charming coastal ports unreachable by larger vessels.   
  • Intimate and spacious: With approximately 100 guests on board and a high crew-to-guest ratio, travellers enjoy personalized service and abundant space for relaxation, dining, wellness, and exploration.   
  • Local immersion ashore: Curated included excursions and a suite of specialized experiences with three enrichment programs/tracks: EmeraldPLUS, EmeraldACTIVE, and DiscoverMORE. These enable guests to engage with vibrant local culture, heritage and cuisine through hands-on experiences.  
  • Iconic and lesser-known highlights: Sail the idyllic coastlines of Greece, Croatia, Italy, Spain, and the French Mediterranean; explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, charming seaside towns and the dramatic Dalmatian archipelago.   

Emerald Cruises’ yacht itineraries offer a variety of lengths and experiences, including: 

  • Adriatic and Dalmatian Coast explorations between Venice and Dubrovnik. 
  • Greek Islands and Ionian Sea voyages. 
  • Western Mediterranean Riviera and historical Italian coastlines. 
  • Extended sailings from Athens through the Adriatic and Mediterranean waters to Venice and beyond.
