About Emerald Raiya
Emerald Raiya is a next-generation Emerald Cruises ocean yacht currently under construction for an announced 2027 debut. Designed for up to 128 guests, she is intended to combine an intimate all-suite layout with open-air spaces, wellness facilities, multiple dining venues and a swim-up marina platform. The yacht is planned for coastal voyages in the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Red Sea and Seychelles, offering a small-ship experience centered on scenery, watersports and relaxed luxury rather than large-resort entertainment.
