Keel-Laying Marks the Beginning of Scenic Group’s Superyacht Emerald Kaia Assembly in Vietnam
Emerald Cruises recently celebrated a pivotal moment in the creation of its latest superyacht, the Emerald Kaia, with a ceremonial keel-laying event held in late December 2024 at Halong Bay, Vietnam, in partnership with MKM Yachts Ltd. This traditional ceremony signifies the beginning of the shipbuilding process and heralds the arrival of what is expected to be a luxurious addition to the Emerald Cruises fleet.
Set to launch in April 2026, Emerald Kaia promises to enhance the luxury yachting experience with cutting-edge design and guest-focused amenities. The vessel will accommodate up to 128 guests, with 88% of the cabins featuring private verandas for stunning ocean views.
Some of the notable features aboard the Emerald Kaia include:
- A spacious Observation Sun Deck.
- A wellness center that boasts a spa 50% larger than those on previous ships.
- A swim-up platform for easy access to the ocean.
- Improved marina facilities, including an indoor lounge and water sports equipment like an inflatable slide.
Emerald Kaia will offer customized itineraries throughout the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, and Seychelles, designed to navigate lesser-known ports and beautiful coastlines, adhering to Emerald Cruises’ commitment to providing intimate travel experiences that larger vessels cannot offer.
Emerald Kaia joins sister ships, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, as part of Scenic Group’s ongoing dedication to the luxury yacht market, aiming to revolutionize small-ship cruising.
Bookings for Emerald Kaia’s inaugural voyages are now open, promising travel to iconic locations such as Venice, Dubrovnik, and Athens. The yacht is available for individual bookings, group travel, or private charters, completing an elevated yachting experience tailored for discerning travelers.
