Emerald Yacht Cruises
This collection of insightful itineraries will take you on a spectacular journey along historic coastlines and crystalline waters as you uncover the best of the Western Mediterranean, the Adriatic coast, the Eastern Mediterranean, the Red Sea and the Black Sea.
Covering the continents of Europe and Africa, the Western Mediterranean promises alluring culture, rich history and mouth-watering cuisine. From the French Riviera, to the southern Italian coast, the Island of Sicily, to the impeccable beaches of Greece. The waters of the Adriatic coast provide access to some of Europe’s most exciting ports. Separating the Italian and Balkan peninsulas, it contains 1,300 islands belonging to Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, and Montenegro. Brand-new for 2023 Emerald will be taking you on a journey along the Black Sea. Surrounded by Turkey, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, Georgia and the Ukraine, embrace the spirit of countries with vast tales to tell, explore historic battlefields and walk golden beaches. Watch as Middle Eastern and Western European cultures collide in spectacular fashion.
One of humanity’s most important crossroads, and now a route offering such variety of ports, the Eastern Mediterranean is a route paved with historic monuments and paradise-like island groups, where the past is celebrated in the present. A global 200 ecoregion, the Red Sea is an inlet of the Indian Ocean, located between Africa and Asia. Having played a crucial navigational role since ancient times, its coastline is now a popular tourist attraction where nature and archaeological monuments feature in abundance.
