With a selection of dining areas, bars and lounges on board, an Emerald Cruises luxury yacht provides a venue to suit every mood. Our Director of Food & Beverage, Tom Goetter, has created the menus for our main restaurant, La Cucina Dining, celebrating fresh, seasonal and local produce.

Day 3 Falmouth Bay, English Harbour, Antigua and Barbuda

Barbuda is frequently referred to as one of the top destinations for independent travellers from all over the world, and today, it is yours to explore.

Day 3 Norman Island, British Virgin Islands

Norman Island, a privately-owned island, is part of the British Virgin Islands. However, this island still attracts many tourists and sailors who come for snorkelling, diving, hiking, or simply soaking in some Caribbean sun. There are rumours about the island’s piratical past, including its name coming from the famous pirate Norman. Norman Island’s caves are a fun place to go diving and explore – and who knows, perhaps you will find your very own treasure chest. Norman Island is indeed an idyllic escape from real life and a must-add stop to your exploration of the Virgin Islands.

Jost van Dyke (which is barely four miles long) is an island widely known by travellers around the world for its casual lifestyle and beachfront restaurants and bars, as well as its protected anchorages and pristine beaches. Great Harbour is one of the main sights to see on the island, as it is sheltered by small mountains and offers a truly relaxed Caribbean feel. The local drink, the Painkiller, was born here – a frozen delight made from dark rum, pineapple juice an orange juice, with fresh nutmeg ground on top. Today you will enjoy a barbeque on shore together with your fellow travellers.

Day 5 Virgin Gorda, British Virgin Islands

Virgin Gorda is the third largest and second-most populous of the British Virgin Islands. Columbus’ lieutenants named the island Virgen Gorda – or ‘the pregnant virgin’, as upon approaching the island from the north or the east, the outline of a pregnant woman lying on her back is visible on the horizon. Somehow uncrowded, Gorda Sound itself has recently blossomed into a busy place surrounded with resorts and vacation villas. Virgin Gorda is a beautiful island; an ideal jumping off point for an in-depth discovery of the Virgin Islands.

In more recent years, Saint-Pierre (also known as ‘Little Paris’) has been named as the 101st ‘City of Art and History’. A visit to Saint-Pierre will allow you to discover a few remnants of Martinique’s colonial history: the old theatre, the ruins of the island’s fort and the dungeon of Cyparis, as well as the wonderful site it is today, facing a gorgeous bay and leaning in the foothills of Mount Pelée.

Day 3 Port Elizabeth, Bequia Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

The second largest in the Grenadines Island chain, and Bequia's main port, is Port Elizabeth. It is a tranquil and quiet destination built along a picturesque little bay with forested hills behind.

Day 5 Mayreau Island, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines

Mayreau is the smallest of the Grenadines’ uninhabited islands, with a surface area of only 4 square kilometres (1.5 square miles).

The town has kept the spirit of the French colonialists who first settled there but were later followed by the British.

Later, you’ll visit the Glittering Beach, where you can indulge in the warm sunshine from your lounger or take a refreshing swim in the azure Caribbean waters.

The history and culture of the Îles des Saintes are to be discovered in Fort Napoléon, where one can also get to know the local flora and fauna at the botanical gardens.

Cruise information

Across the following pages, you’ll find more information about your yacht cruise experience along with helpful suite, stateroom and deck plans for our luxury yachts.

Life on the ocean

A luxury yacht cruise across the oceans of the world is like nothing else. As you sail along the iconic coastlines our yachts visit, our guide to life on the ocean is here to help you make the most of all that Mother Nature has to offer during your voyage.

Stabilization

While sea conditions are generally good in some of the regions our yachts visit, nature tends to have a mind of its own, and sometimes we might face rough seas. Emerald Cruises luxury yachts are each equipped with a pair of retractable fin stabilisers, meaning our yachts pitch and role as little as possible. This ensures maximum relaxation for our guests while on board, no matter the weather!

Aqua Pool & Marina Platform

Our luxury yachts each feature an infinity-style pool on the Aqua Deck, offering you great alfresco views as you swim under the sun. Each yacht also features a Marina Platform equipped with various water sports toys for our guests to enjoy. While we aim to offer these areas to our guests as often as possible, sometimes the local regulations, yacht traffic in the bay or weather conditions may restrict their use. During rough seas, the Aqua Pool will be drained to ensure the safety of our guests and crew, and our Marina Platforms will only be made available when our yachts are at anchor in calm waters.

Tender boats

To make the most of each of the countries our yachts travel to, sometimes our cruises will visit towns and cities where there is no docking facility for yachts of our size, and our yachts will anchor at sea nearby. In this case, our guests will be transported ashore on one of the three tender boats each of our yachts are equipped with. This is usually a short trip to the shore and enables us to take you right into the heart of the locations we visit.

Itinerary alterations

At Emerald Cruises, our destinations are meticulously chosen, and our itineraries planned with great detail to ensure all the ports we visit are accessible. However, in some rare cases, our yachts may not be able to visit a port as planned due to unforeseen factors such as bad weather. In these cases, our guests will be informed of any port diversions or alterations to our itineraries as soon as possible, and we will do our utmost to make sure your cruise is impacted as little as possible.

Emerald Azzurra

Staying connected at sea

While on board one of our luxury yachts, our guests have access to our complimentary standard Wi-Fi service, meaning you can stay in touch with friends and family back home and share all of the wonderful photos you take during your cruise. We also offer a Platinum Wi-Fi package for all of our guests’ streaming needs. While we offer internet services 24/7, our satellite connection can be impacted by a number of factors, such as bad weather, so signal may become weak at some points during your voyage.

Our commitment to your health & safety

Ocean terminology

We understand that sometimes it might seem as if seafarers are speaking their own language. We’ve made a guide so you’re familiar with all of the important lingo while on board one of our luxury yachts.
