About the Emerald Cruises Emerald Kaia

Meet Emerald Kaia

A new chapter in Emerald Cruises' journey begins with our next-generation superyacht, Emerald Kaia. Our third innovative luxury yacht builds on the spectacular success of the first two and retains the ethos of luxury small-ship cruising.

Starting in early 2026, she will welcome you on board to sail from the coastlines of the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Adriatic Seas, to the Seychelles.

Ports of Call

Mahe Island (Days 1, 7, 8)

Irresistible beaches and breathtaking scenery await you on Mahe, a truly unspoiled paradise. Waist away the day on a pristine, sugar-white beach; sample fresh seafood; or explore one of the rural villages that dot the island.

Attractions & Activities

Needless to say, Mahe Island's greatest attractions are its beaches, which have helped to make tourism its major industry. After you've spent a day or two sun-baking (er, bathing) on one of these clear-watered beaches, take a tour around the island (on your own or hire a service), and see the many tea, cinnamon, or vanilla plantations that contributed to the early days of the area's involvement in the Indian Ocean spice trade.

Saint Anne, Alderney Island (Days 1, 2)

Cousin Island (Day 2)

Praslin Island (Day 3)

Praslin Island is not a place where people are particularly inclined to be motivated to go indoors. Instead, travelers spending time at Praslin Island want to be out enjoying the beaches and the lush vegetation of the nature surrounding the area. It is a romantic spot where relaxing days are capped off with enjoyable evenings.

La Digue (Day 4)

The peaceful seclusion, of green hills and gorgeous beaches make La Digue one of the favorite islands in the Seychelles. The estate of l´Union with its fine, old house and large granitic boulders is one of the few remaining vanilla plantations left in the islands. La Digue is also home to the paradise flycatcher, a rare species found nowhere else in the world.

Curieuse (Days 4, 5)

Separated from Praslin by a narrow channel, little granitic Curieuse is home to the coco-de-mer palms and is a centre of conservation.

Aride (Day 6)
