Accommodations
With space for just 100 guests, every one of Emerald Sakara’s staterooms has been designed to make the most of sea views.
Emerald Sakara’s Oceanview Staterooms are beautifully appointed with large picture windows, offering ever-changing views of the coastline. Cleverly designed storage, a luxurious queen-size bed and a spa-style ensuite are all included. The Balcony Suites add the luxury of a private terrace. Furnished with cushioned seating and floor-to-ceiling glass doors, they invite the outside in, flooding the space with light. For those seeking a little more room, the Deluxe Balcony Suites offer additional living space and an extended balcony area. Thoughtful touches such as a walk-in wardrobe, plush robes and a well-stocked minibar enhance the Deluxe Balcony Suite experience.
At the bow of the ship, the Terrace Suites bring together space, privacy and luxury, featuring a generous outdoor terrace furnished with sun loungers, a dining table and a daybed - ideal for private sunbathing or intimate alfresco dining. The Yacht Suites feel like a private apartment at sea. With panoramic views, a spacious lounge, and direct access to the open decks, it offers an unmatched sense of exclusivity.
The Owner’s Suites are Emerald Sakara’s most exclusive accommodation, positioned to command sweeping views from their wrap-around terrace. Inside, you’ll find a separate living area, dining space and bedroom, all finished with soft neutral tones and natural textures that echo the yacht’s refined aesthetic. Butler service and priority reservations add to the experience, ensuring every detail is taken care of.
Activities & Entertainment
Days aboard Emerald Sakara unfold at your own pace. With her yacht-style layout and relaxed atmosphere, the ship is designed for exploration and indulgence in equal measure. Whether you’re out on the water, curled up with a book, or chatting with the crew on the bridge, every corner of the yacht invites you to slow down and savour the journey.
On Deck 5, guests are welcome to visit the Navigation Bridge thanks to Emerald Sakara’s open-bridge policy - a rare opportunity on modern ships. It’s particularly special at night, when the glow from the instruments contrasts with the dark horizon and you can watch the crew at work while the yacht slips silently through the sea.
The Observation Lounge on Deck 4 is a true hidden gem. Calming and softly lit, it’s the perfect space to relax with a good book, a board game, or simply the sweeping view through the floor-to-ceiling windows. There’s a small library and a television displaying the ship’s navigation map, while tea and coffee-making facilities make it a homely retreat throughout the day. Just forward of the lounge, the Observation Terrace offers fresh air and quiet reflection - a lovely spot to watch sunrise, sunset or the coastline drift by.
For those who like to explore further afield, Emerald Sakara carries a fleet of electric bicycles available for guest use in select ports. Perfect for independent exploration or guided rides arranged through the shore team, the e-bikes make it easy to discover charming coastal villages, hidden viewpoints and local cafés at your own pace.
Shopping comes in the form of Boutique Azzurra on Deck 3, a refined little store showcasing a curated selection of fine jewellery, elegant resort wear and destination-inspired gifts. It’s the perfect place to pick up a keepsake or an accessory for the evening ahead.
Down on Deck 2, the Marina Platform embodies the spirit of Emerald Yacht Cruises - active, adventurous and wonderfully connected to the sea. This fold-out deck lowers to water level, transforming into a private aquatic playground where guests can enjoy paddleboards, kayaks, snorkelling gear and floating mats. In select destinations, the crew even host an al-fresco barbecue here, making it the most relaxed “beach club” at sea.
It’s worth noting that the Marina Platform operates only in certain ports of call and always depends on sea conditions, local regulations and maritime traffic. The team will let you know when conditions are ideal - but when it does open, it’s an experience not to be missed.
Food & Drink
Dining aboard Emerald Sakara is relaxed yet refined, with an emphasis on freshness, flavour and the destinations you’re exploring. Whether you prefer to linger over a multi-course meal or enjoy a casual bite in the sunshine, every venue has been designed to make you feel at home.
At the heart of the culinary experiences is La Cucina Dining on Deck 3, the ship’s elegant main restaurant. Breakfast and lunch are served buffet-style, offering a wide selection of hot dishes, fresh pastries, fruit and salads. In the evening, La Cucina transforms into a sophisticated à la carte venue, with menus that change daily and always feature a ‘local dish’ inspired by the region you’re sailing through.
Extending out from the main restaurant, the La Cucina Terrace invites guests to dine al fresco, surrounded by sea views and the scent of salt air. It’s the perfect setting for breakfast in the morning sun or a leisurely dinner under the stars. By day, the Aqua Café on Deck 6 is the go-to for light bites and casual meals. Located just steps from the pool, it serves a tempting mix of pizzas, sandwiches, salads, burgers and homemade ice cream. With plenty of tables, cushioned seating and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s ideal for a laid-back lunch or a quick snack between swims.
When it comes to drinks, Emerald Sakara blends social energy with yacht-style elegance. The Amici Bar & Lounge on Deck 3 is the true heart of the ship - a sociable space where guests gather before excursions or unwind after dinner. It’s here that much of the onboard entertainment takes place, from language lessons and quizzes to live music in the evenings. Alongside a well-stocked bar, you’ll find tea and coffee-making facilities, plush seating and large picture windows framing the passing scenery.
Up on Deck 7, the Sky Bar offers panoramic views across the open sea and the surrounding islands. Just a few steps from the spa pool, it’s the perfect place to order a cocktail, enjoy an afternoon spritz or sip champagne as the sun sets.
Relaxation & Fitness
Life aboard Emerald Sakara is all about balance - days filled with exploration followed by time to relax, recharge and simply enjoy the view. The ship’s wellness facilities are beautifully designed.
At the very top of the ship on Deck 7, you’ll find the Spa Pool, a serene Jacuzzi-style retreat positioned at the aft. Enclosed by sleek glass walls, it offers uninterrupted panoramic views of the horizon - an idyllic spot for a soothing soak as the sun dips below the waterline. Whether you visit at sunrise or sunset, this quiet hideaway captures the pure tranquillity of life at sea.
Just below on Deck 6, the Aqua Pool provides a stunning centrepiece - a saltwater infinity pool that seems to merge with the ocean beyond. Lined with daybeds and soft seating, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a book, cool off with a swim, or simply drift between the pool and the warmth of the sun.
Wellness continues below deck in the Elements Spa on Deck 2, a thoughtfully designed sanctuary home to two treatment rooms, a hairdresser’s salon, and an infrared sauna. Here, guests can indulge in a menu of rejuvenating therapies, including massages, facials, and hand and foot treatments, each designed to refresh body and mind after a day of exploration.
Also located within the spa complex, the Gym offers a compact but well-equipped fitness space with the latest Technogym equipment for both cardio and strength training. Whether you’re maintaining your routine or fitting in a light stretch before breakfast, the atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried.

“Emerald Sakara might be small, but she’s perfectly formed! I loved all of her outdoor areas, from La Cucina Terrace to the Aqua Café and Pool. Don’t miss out on the ebikes - they’re a great way to immerse yourself in the local area a little differently.” - Olivia Powling, ROL Cruise
