The Emerald Raiya introduces a new era of boutique luxury cruising, combining sleek, contemporary design with personalized service and immersive itineraries. Designed for up to 128 guests, this all-suite superyacht delivers an intimate, refined experience, with spacious accommodations, modern amenities, and elegant communal spaces for socializing or quiet relaxation.
Raiya is set to debut in the Seychelles during the winter of 2026–27, offering unparalleled access to pristine islands, turquoise waters, and hidden coves. In the summer months of 2027, the yacht will explore the Eastern Mediterranean, visiting Greece, Turkey, and other iconic coastal destinations before returning to the Seychelles for the following winter season.
Onboard, guests can unwind in beautifully appointed suites with panoramic views, enjoy meals at multiple dining venues featuring locally inspired and international cuisine, or relax in the Horizon Lounge and Sky Deck, taking in the surrounding scenery. The yacht’s wellness facilities, including a fitness center and spa amenities, ensure travelers can refresh and rejuvenate throughout their journey.

Since launching its ocean fleet, Emerald Ocean Cruises has built a strong reputation in small-ship luxury yachting, giving travelers a mix of comfort, modern design, and close coastal exploration. Its sleek superyachts sail the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean on intimate itineraries that reach smaller harbors, iconic coastlines, and quiet beaches larger ships cannot.
The yachts Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, joined by the newer Emerald Kaia, with Emerald Raiya and Emerald Xara still to come, are designed for spacious suites, panoramic public areas, infinity pools, wellness facilities, and marina platforms for water-based activities. Each yacht stays small, which keeps service personal and the experience boutique, bringing destinations to life in a way only a yacht can.
Emerald Ocean Cruises pairs all-inclusive luxury with genuine exploration and a careful eye for detail. Dining, beverages, gratuities, Wi-Fi, and curated excursions are included, while optional experiences let travelers go deeper into local culture, history, and adventure. Comfort and guest satisfaction sit at the heart of every voyage, which is what makes the line a strong choice in small-ship ocean travel.
At Small Ship Travel, we choose ocean cruises that meet our standards for luxury, personalization, and authenticity. Emerald Ocean Cruises fits that brief well, with itineraries that combine scenic coastlines, cultural discovery, and a high level of onboard comfort.
Working with Small Ship Travel gives you tailored itineraries and attentive support from the moment you reserve your suite to your return home. A voyage with Emerald Ocean Cruises brings together sophisticated design, intimate scale, and thoughtfully planned experiences for a different way to explore the world by sea.
