About Emerald Kaia
A new chapter in Emerald Cruises' journey begins with our next-generation superyacht, Emerald Kaia. Our third innovative luxury yacht builds on the spectacular success of the first two and retains the ethos of luxury small-ship cruising.
Starting in early 2026, she will welcome you on board to sail from the coastlines of the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Adriatic Seas, to the Seychelles.
Luxury river cruising should provide complete peace of mind. This is why we cover all port charges, provide all meals on board with accompanying beverages, offer complimentary Wi-Fi, and cover all gratuities on board and onshore as standard. Our first-class English-speaking crew along with our knowledgeable, local guides create a seamless experience on your journey.
Experience à la carte and fine dining on board our Star-Ships. Whether you’re sailing the Mekong in the Southeast Asia or the rivers of Europe, you’ll find delectable meals on board inspired by the regions you’ll sail through.
With a selection of wines, beers, and soft drinks included with lunch and dinner, there's always a delightful pairing for your meals. If you’d like to extend your selection of beverages, there’s a range of drinks packages to choose from^.
^Available at an additional cost.
Wellness and active experiences are at the heart of our river cruises, with a number of activities available.
Our activity managers are on hand to ensure you make the most of your cruise. Join them on board for classes such yoga or aqua aerobics—or head to the gym if you prefer to work out on your own schedule.
On our Europe river cruises, you’ll find a number of EmeraldACTIVE^ excursions to take part in, from guided hikes to canoeing trips and cycling tours.
^Not available on our Southeast Asia itineraries.
EmeraldDISCOVERY takes you beyond the standard tourist experience, with an array of exciting excursions.
