Emerald Cruises unveils 2027-28 yacht collection with incentive

Emerald Cruises has launched its 2027-28 yacht cruising collection, with 25 new voyages.

The collection has 170 departures across its four yachts with 19 new ports of call in Greece, Turkey, Corsica, France, the Caribbean, Costa Rica, Panama and Dominica.

Emerald Raiya will sail its inaugural season in the Mediterranean, starting with a 10-night maiden sailing from Valletta to Athens on April 8, 2027.

In the winter season, Raiya will sail to East Africa with opportunities to see the lagoons of Mahé and La Digue in the Seychelles and Mombasa in Kenya.

Emerald Azzurra will offer cruises in the Adriatic and East Mediterranean in spring and summer 2027, with ports of call including Dubrovnik, Corfu and Venice, before transitioning to the Caribbean and Central America in the winter with cruises in Barbados, Costa Rica and Panama.

Emerald Sakara will sail cruises in the Western Mediterranean in 2027, with a new itinerary through Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, before a winter season in the Caribbean island-hopping between Sint Maarten, Barbados and the British Virgin Islands.

Emerald Kaia will operate seven-night sailings between Venice and Dubrovnik, and nine and 12-night itineraries from Dubrovnik to Civitavecchia (Rome) in 2027.

For winter 2027-28, Kaia will join Azzurra and Sakara in the Caribbean with one-way itineraries from San Juan and Antigua, and new stops in Vieques, Montserrat and Saint John.

To coincide with the launch, Emerald Cruises has launched a “sell four, sail more” incentive offering agents the chance to win a place on a Scenic or Emerald Cruises fam trip in 2026.

To enter, agents need to book four ocean cruises departing in 2027-28 before July 31 and email the booking references to agencysales@scenic.co.uk

Scenic UK head of sales Jonathan Davies said: “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.

“We’ve also created a suite of assets to support agents in their promotion of the new season, everything from digital banners to social tiles and window posters and our dedicated and biggest trade team to date are on hand for any training, events and marketing support.”
