The sister ship to Emerald Raiya, Emerald Xara represents the next generation of Emerald Yacht Cruises’ luxury superyachts - combining cutting-edge design with a deeper connection to the sea.

Her spacious decks, elegant interiors and panoramic suites create an atmosphere that feels effortlessly luxurious yet warmly welcoming.

Debuting in 2027, Emerald Xara will begin her inaugural season in the Mediterranean, gliding between sun-drenched ports and hidden harbours along the coasts of Italy, Greece and Croatia. Later in the year, she will cross the Atlantic to the Caribbean, where she will spend the winter months - from October 2027 to March 2028 - sailing among palm-fringed islands, vibrant coral reefs and turquoise bays.
