Emeral Cruises has unveiled the 2027/28 deployment for its yacht cruise fleet, featuring 25 all-new itineraries, the debut Mediterranean sailing of the new Emerald Raiya, and a return to Central America.
In total, the deployments span 170 departures across four yachts visiting more than 200 ports in 70 countries.
“This season reflects how Emerald Cruises is evolving to meet the desires of today’s traveler – offering more immersive, unexpected destinations and the kind of personalized yacht experience that’s increasingly rare in the industry,” said Ken Muskat, president, Scenic Group USA and LATAM. “With the debut of Emerald Raiya and the expansion of our warm-water sailings into the Seychelles and East Africa, we’re continuing to push boundaries – bringing our guests to new parts of the world in a way that feels effortless, elevated, and uniquely Emerald Cruises.”
Sprinkled into the 25 new voyages are inaugural visits to ports of calls in Greece (Lesvos, Skiathos, Samos, Gythio, Katakolo), Italy (Pantelleria, Trapani, Arbatax, Sanremo, and Ischia Island), Turkey (Kepez), France (Corsica, Saint Florent), Costa Rica (Puerto Limon), Panama (Bocas del Toro), Dominica (Portsmouth), and others.
Other highlights of the season include more overnight stays and late-night departures, a mix of short and long itineraries – many of which are combinable for extended journeys, and the inaugural season of Emerald Raiya, beginning April 8, 2027, with a 10-night sailing from Valletta to Athens.
The full 2027/28 yacht cruise collection is now open for bookings.
