Emerald Cruises celebrated a milestone in constructing its newest luxury superyacht, Emerald Kaia, with a keel-laying ceremony held during the week of 27DEC 2024 in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.
Emerald Kaia will join the fleet in April 2026, and bookings are now open for individuals, groups, and charters.
Key features include an Observation Sun Deck, a 50 percent larger spa, a swim-up platform for ocean access, enhanced marina facilities and new water toys like an inflatable slide.
"The keel laying of Emerald Kaia marks another exciting step forward in our vision for redefining the yachting experience,” said Glen Moroney, Chairman and Founder of Scenic Group.
“Building on the tremendous success of Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, Emerald Kaia reflects our commitment to innovation, luxury, and sustainability. We thank the skilled team at MKM Yachts for bringing this vision to life."
Emerald Kaia will accommodate 128 cabin guests, with 88% hosting verandas.
It will also offer customized itineraries to the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, and Seychelles.
This yacht is the third in Emerald Cruises' luxury fleet, joining Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, and aims to provide experiences in lesser-known ports.
