Launched in 2013 as part of the Scenic Group, Emerald delivers a more approachable take on high-end travel while maintaining the group’s signature all-inclusive style and destination focus. Its ocean division specialises in small-ship yacht cruising for intimate coastal exploration. 

Emerald’s yacht fleet provides a seamless blend of modern design and personalised service, with every voyage including complimentary excursions, premium drinks, Wi-Fi, and gratuities. The line emphasises active discovery through e-bikes, Emerald Active GPS trackers, and curated “EmeraldPLUS” cultural experiences like private concerts or cooking classes with local chefs. Contemporary interiors, wellness programming, and attentive crew create a relaxed yet refined atmosphere aboard ships carrying just 100–128 guests.
