The Emerald Kaia, Emerald Cruises' third superyacht, will sail an inaugural voyage on April 4 to Greece and Turkiye. 

The 11-day cruise will coincide with Easter, departing from Cyprus and ending in Athens. Guests will experience both local Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox Easter celebrations.

The 128-guest ship will spend the season in the Mediterranean before a winter in the Caribbean. 

Also, bookings are open for the Emerald Raiya, which joins the fleet in 2027. An eight-day inaugural cruise will traverse the Greek islands and Turkiye on June 19, 2027.

Construction on the Emerald Raiya began with a ceremonial steel-cutting on Aug. 20 in Vietnam.

Emerald's first two superyachts are the 100-passenger Azzurra and Sakara, sister ships that entered service in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
