About Emerald Xara

Emerald Xara is a planned Emerald Cruises superyacht for up to 128 guests, designed around intimate, open-air cruising rather than large-ship resort features. The 64-cabin vessel is being built in Vietnam and is expected to enter service in 2028, with an inaugural program focused on Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. Its compact size, expanded outdoor areas and yacht-style marina platform should suit travelers seeking relaxed luxury, small-group access and a quieter onboard atmosphere.
