Emerald Cruises & Tours is expanding its luxury yacht portfolio with two new 13-day voyages through the Seychelles and East Africa aboard Emerald Kaia.
Available exclusively in November 2026, the new Seychelles & Indian Ocean Adventure itinerary connects Mahe, Seychelles, and Mombasa, Kenya, combining remote island destinations with cultural experiences across the Seychelles, Tanzania and Kenya.
“The Seychelles represents one of the last truly untouched frontiers in luxury travel,” said Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group USA & LATAM, in a press statement. “These new voyages aboard Emerald Kaia offer guests the opportunity to discover extraordinary islands, remarkable wildlife and vibrant East African cultures while enjoying the intimacy, comfort and personalized service that define our luxury yacht experience.”
Luxury in The Seychelles
Designed to carry only 128 guests, Emerald Kaia can access secluded anchorages and smaller ports that are out of reach for larger cruise ships. The itinerary features stops in Mahe, La Digue, Praslin, Farquhar Atoll, Aldabra Atoll, Kilwa Kisiwani, Mafia Island, Zanzibar and Mombasa.
Guests will explore UNESCO World Heritage Sites, protected coral reefs, remote lagoons and historic Swahili settlements while participating in experiences such as snorkeling, wildlife encounters, cultural tours and visits to local spice markets.
Emerald Cruises has scheduled two departures:
- Nov. 17, 2026: Mahe to Mombasa
- Nov. 29, 2026: Mombasa to Mahe
Every Emerald Kaia sailing includes accommodations for 128 guests, airport transfers, gratuities, WiFi, onboard dining, a premium drinks package and a selection of shore excursions. The yacht also features spacious open-air lounges and contemporary accommodations designed for small-ship luxury cruising.
“One of the greatest advantages of traveling aboard Emerald Kaia is access,” Robert Castro, VP of Marketing for Scenic Group USA & LATAM, said in a media statement. “Our luxury yachts can reach secluded islands and intimate ports that simply aren’t accessible to larger ships, allowing guests to experience these remarkable destinations in a far more meaningful and immersive way.”
