Curated journeys to timeless destinations

An Emerald Cruises itinerary is a masterpiece of cultural immersion and leisurely discovery. The 2026 Mediterranean season is rich with voyages that connect you to the soul of each destination. Glide through the ancient Corinth Canal, a feat of engineering, on a 12-day journey from Athens. Explore the whitewashed villages of Mykonos and Santorini, or step back in time at the UNESCO World Heritage site of Delos. You can discover the secrets of the Cave of the Apocalypse on Patmos or wander through the historic site of Bodrum’s Mausoleum of Halicarnassus. Each stop is an invitation to engage your senses, from guided tours of historic landmarks with EmeraldPLUS experiences to invigorating hikes and bike rides with EmeraldACTIVE excursions.

Where indulgence meets adventure

Life on board is a perfect balance of rejuvenation and excitement. The innovative Marina Platform at the yacht's stern lowers to sea level, creating your own private sanctuary for aquatic fun. Plunge into the crystal-clear waters for a swim, try your hand at paddleboarding, or feel the thrill of a SEABOB water scooter. For moments of pure bliss, the Elements Spa & Wellness Centre awaits. Indulge in a pampering treatment, detoxify in the infrared sauna, or find your Zen in the salt therapy lounge. As evening descends, enjoy nightly entertainment in the stylish Amici Lounge or savour a cocktail at the Sky Bar, sharing stories with loved ones as the stars blanket the Mediterranean sky.
