Emerald Cruises has introduced two new 13-Day Seychelles & Indian Ocean Adventure sailings aboard Emerald Kaia, the brand’s newest luxury yacht, for November 2026.
Sailing with just 128 guests, Emerald Kaia combines intimate yacht cruising with immersive destination experiences, allowing guests to explore hidden lagoons, remote coral atolls, historic Swahili settlements and spectacular marine ecosystems throughout the Indian Ocean, all while enjoying the comfort, personalized service and all-inclusive experience that defines Emerald Cruises &Tours.
Unlike larger ocean vessels, Emerald Kaia can access secluded anchorages and smaller ports throughout the Seychelles archipelago, bringing guests closer to the destination rather than simply sailing past it.
Guests will journey between Mahé, Seychelles, and Mombasa, Kenya, discovering an exceptional collection of destinations including Mahé, La Digue, Praslin, Farquhar Atoll, Aldabra Atoll, Kilwa Kisiwani, Mafia Island, Zanzibar, and Mombasa.
Sailings are set for:
- November 17, 2026 – Mahé to Mombasa
- November 29, 2026 -Mombasa to Mahé
Made up of 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles is celebrated for its striking granite islands, crystal-clear waters, protected marine reserves, and extraordinary biodiversity.
Many of its islands remain completely uninhabited; preserving authenticity and natural beauty rarely found elsewhere.
These new voyages extend beyond the Seychelles, introducing guests to the fascinating coastlines of Tanzania and Kenya, regions rich in history, wildlife, and cultural significance that remain largely undiscovered by traditional cruise itineraries.
