Nothing quite says luxury cruising like fine dining at sea, which is why Emerald Cruises' Yachts provide guests with a selection of decadent dishes in elegant dining venues throughout their cruise – with flavourful favourites and creative cuisines from around the world populating the a la carte menus available. Thanks to the immense talents of highly-trained chefs crafting each meal with the freshest local ingredients, every dish you delight in while sailing will leave you wanting more. Of the dining venues onboard, you can expect the following:
From truly exquisite indoor lounges to al fresco bars, the perfect evening of low-key entertainment awaits aboard your Emerald Cruises' ultra-luxury yachts. The Sky Bar, this cruise line’s signature venue, sits on the top deck and gives you the opportunity to enjoy a delicious drink with some of the best views onboard. Meanwhile, the stunningly elegant Amici Bar & Lounge acts as something of a central point onboard; not only is it the perfect place to meet up for a morning coffee, but it’s also the perfect place to indulge in a colourful cocktail or a cool beer when the sun starts to set.
You’re not going to find yourself with an abundance of options on an Emerald Cruises' yacht – primarily due to the intimate size of these luxurious vessels – but you’ll enjoy the highest standard of service throughout your voyage and still find yourself thoroughly entertained while at sea, thanks to the talents of your voyages’ onboard musicians. Each sailing will also offer a schedule of organised activities, with craft workshops and cooking classes among the enriching experiences available.
Sailing to a variety of stunning destinations, from the Mediterranean and Adriatic Sea to the Seychelles archipelago and beyond, Emerald Cruises’ fleet of intimately-sized luxury yachts visit the world’s hidden gems – harbours and ports that larger cruise ships just can’t stop off at. In all of the sensational spots you visit – be that on Emerald Azzurra, Emerald Sakara or on Emerald Kaia – you can take advantage of carefully curated, uniquely tailored shore excursions and delve deep into the history, culture, and local life of each destination.
