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.”
