Emerald Cruises & Tours plans to launch two new sailings in the Seychelles in November.

During the 13-day voyages, guests will travel between Mahé, Seychelles, and Mombasa, Kenya, exploring destinations like Mahé, La Digue, Praslin, Farquhar Atoll, Aldabra Atoll, Kilwa Kisiwani, Mafia Island, Zanzibar and Mombasa. 

They’ll experience remote tropical islands, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, East African history and culture, vibrant coral reefs, rare wildlife, crystal-clear lagoons, world-renowned beaches, rich Swahili heritage and remarkable Indian Ocean biodiversity. 

“The Seychelles represents one of the last truly untouched frontiers in luxury travel,” says Ken Muskat, president of Scenic Group USA & LATAM. “These new voyages aboard Emerald Kaia offer guests the opportunity to discover extraordinary islands, remarkable wildlife and vibrant East African cultures while enjoying the intimacy, comfort and personalized service that define our luxury yacht experience.” 

The cruises will be offered aboard Emerald Kaia, the brand’s new 128-guest yacht that debuted earlier this year.

“One of the greatest advantages of traveling aboard Emerald Kaia is access,” says Robert Castro, vice president of marketing for Scenic Group USA & LATAM. “Our luxury yachts can reach secluded islands and intimate ports that simply aren’t accessible to larger ships, allowing guests to experience these remarkable destinations in a far more meaningful and immersive way.”
