Scenic Group has revealed plans for the next-generation luxury ocean yacht to join the Emerald Cruises’ fleet, setting sail in April 2026.

Emerald Kaia will be on general sale from 22 April 2024, with Emerald Kaia able to accommodate up to 128 guests across 64 state rooms which are 10% larger than those on current vessels, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara. 

The 120-metre ship will have a marina with an interior lounge, an open-air gym, an expanded Elements Spa, an observation sun deck, and a number of water sports offerings. It will also feature The Sky Bar and Lounge on the top deck, and Asian-inspired cuisine will be on offer in the ship’s Night Market Grill. 

Emerald Kaia will travel to a number of popular destinations around the Mediterranean, the Adriatic, the Aegean, as well as the Caribbean and the Seychelles.

Lead-in prices for the inaugural sailing from Limassol to Piraeus start from £6,850 per person, departing 4 April 2026, while lead-in prices for the Mediterranean Enchantment itinerary have been set from £4,656 per person, departing 25 April 2026.
