Bookings are now open for Emerald Cruises’ 2027-2028 yacht cruising collection. 

Travelers can choose between 170 departures across four luxury yachts, which will visit more than 200 ports in 70 countries.

The season includes 25 new voyages, including Emerald Raiya’s inaugural Mediterranean sailing launching April 8, 2027, from Valletta. The cruise line will also visit 19 new ports of call in Greece, Italy, France, Turkey, Costa Rica, Panama and more. Emerald Cruises will also be returning to Central America after a successful 2024 season. 

“This season reflects how Emerald Cruises is evolving to meet the desires of today’s traveler—offering more immersive, unexpected destinations and the kind of personalized yacht experience that’s increasingly rare in the industry,” says Ken Muskat, president of Scenic Group USA and LATAM. “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.”
