Emerald Kaia
by Emerald Ocean Cruises
The Emerald Kaia introduces a refined evolution of small-ship ocean cruising, designed for travelers seeking understated luxury, open-air living, and immersive coastal exploration. Accommodating up to 128 guests, this next-generation superyacht delivers a relaxed yet polished experience, where space, service, and destination access are carefully balanced.
Set to debut in 2026, Emerald Kaia will sail itineraries throughout the Eastern Mediterranean and surrounding warm-water regions, offering a blend of historic ports, scenic coastlines, and lesser-visited harbors. Its compact size allows for flexible routing and access to destinations beyond the reach of larger cruise ships, creating a more intimate connection with each place visited.
Life onboard centers around light-filled spaces and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Contemporary accommodations feature private verandas and expansive sea views, while stylish lounges, multiple dining venues, and open decks provide inviting settings for relaxation and social connection. Wellness plays a central role, with spa facilities, fitness areas, and a dedicated marina platform that enables direct access to the sea for swimming and watersports.
