Emerald Kaia Marks Keel-Laying Milestone

Emerald Cruises has announced a significant milestone in the construction of its newest and most innovative luxury superyacht, Emerald Kaia with a keel-laying ceremony held at MKM Yachts in Ha Long Bay, Vietnam.

In celebration of this milestone, Emerald Cruises has unveiled updated renders of Emerald Kaia, offering a glimpse into the yacht’s pioneering design and luxury features.

Set to debut in April 2026, Emerald Kaia promises to redefine yacht cruising with its contemporary elegance, thoughtful amenities, and world-class service.

Glen Moroney, Chairman and Founder of Scenic Group said: “The keel laying of Emerald Kaia marks another exciting step forward in our vision for redefining the yachting experience.

“Building on the tremendous success of Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara, Emerald Kaia reflects our commitment to innovation, luxury, and sustainability. We thank the skilled team at MKM Yachts for bringing this vision to life.”

Emerald Kaia is designed to accommodate 128 guests in spacious luxury, with 88% of cabins featuring verandas.

Key highlights include an expansive Observation Sun Deck, state-of-the-art wellness areas with a 50% larger spa and swim-up platform allowing for direct access to the ocean from the fitness centre, enhanced marina facilities, including an indoor lounge and new water toys like an inflatable slide.

With a focus on connecting guests to the sea and their surroundings, the yacht will offer bespoke itineraries to the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, and Seychelles.

Emerald Kaia will become the third luxury superyacht in Emerald Cruises’ fleet, following the successes of Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara.

The new yacht represents Scenic Group’s ongoing commitment to expanding its footprint in the luxury yacht cruising market, offering unforgettable journeys to the world’s most captivating coastlines.

Emerald Kaia is scheduled to debut in April 2026, with bookings for her inaugural season already open for individual travellers, groups and charters.
