Her inaugural sailing was sold out. And Emerald Cruises’ second luxury yacht, Emerald Sakara is now sailing the eight-day Ionian Sea Adventure from Athens to Rome.

Her inaugural sailing was sold out. And Emerald Cruises’ second luxury yacht, Emerald Sakara is now sailing the eight-day Ionian Sea Adventure from Athens to Rome.

Emerald Sakara departed Piraeus on August 5. The next day, her sister yacht Emerald Azzurra joined her as the twin ships sailed through the Corinth Canal.

But they’re not identical twins. The Emerald Sakara’s interiors feature renowned brands like Tribu, Gervasoni, and lighting by designer Tom Dixon. Plus, there’s the Freifrau and Missoni collab. Technology includes cutting-edge upgrades such as Starlink internet services.

“Launching a new luxury yacht is always exciting as the tremendous work done by our talented team of designers and builders comes to life,” said Glen Moroney, Scenic Group Chairman and founder.

Moroney said that launching the Emerald Sakara just a year after her sister’s launch “speaks volumes about how well our yacht cruising program has been received.”

“With Emerald Sakara, we are opening up even more exciting new destinations for our guests to explore.”

Emerald Sakara provides more capacity to meet the cruise line’s strong demand. That’s according to Angus Crichton, Director of Sales, Marketing & Product for Emerald Cruises. 

“With just 100 guests on board each yacht, this innovative concept is the future of small-ship cruising and we’ve been thrilled with the response from the Australian market.”
