Emerald Raiya

Following the debut of Emerald Kaia in 2026, Emerald Cruises are introducing Emerald Raiya, one of two new next generation superyachts, alongside Emerald Xara.

Accommodating up to 128 guests, both ships will reflect the same sleek design and elevated guest experience as Emerald Kaia, offering seamless open-air living, wellness-focused amenities, panoramic ocean views and immersive coastal exploration. She will offer guests an intimate, small-ship ultra-luxury experience on board, and with 92 crew members, a nearly 1:1 crew-to-guest ratio guarantees personalised, attentive service throughout your voyage.

Her small size enables access to smaller, remote ports where guests can enjoy a private-yacht atmosphere on a boutique cruise scale.

Emerald Raiya will make her debut in the Seychelles from December 2026, before making her way to the East Mediterranean in April 2027 for an unforgettable summer in Greece and Turkey.
