Emerald Cruises & Tours has announced one of its most notable expansions to date, adding two new departures for November 2026 on the “13-Day Adventure through the Seychelles and the Indian Ocean” itinerary aboard the Emerald Kaia.
With a capacity of just 128 passengers, the Emerald Kaia combines the exclusivity of a boutique yacht with immersive destination experiences, allowing guests to discover hidden lagoons, remote coral atolls, historic Swahili settlements, and spectacular marine ecosystems in the Indian Ocean—all accompanied by the comfort, personalized service, and all-inclusive package that characterize Emerald Cruises & Tours.
The Emerald Kaia can access secluded anchorages and small ports throughout the Seychelles archipelago, bringing travelers right into the heart of the destination rather than simply sailing along its coastline.The itinerary will connect Mahé (Seychelles) and Mombasa (Kenya), with stops at some of the most spectacular destinations in the Indian Ocean, including La Digue, Praslin, Farquhar Atoll, Aldabra Atoll, Kilwa Kisiwani, Mafia Island, Zanzibar, and Mombasa.
Throughout the trip, passengers will be able to discover virtually untouched tropical islands, sites designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the history and culture of East Africa, coral reefs, unique wildlife, crystal-clear lagoons, world-famous beaches, the Swahili heritage, and the extraordinary biodiversity of the Indian Ocean.
The program includes activities such as snorkeling among coral reefs, encounters with giant tortoises, walks through historic island settlements, and visits to markets brimming with spices.
Comprising 115 islands scattered across the Indian Ocean, the Seychelles archipelago is known for its stunning granitic islands, crystal-clear waters, protected marine reserves, and extraordinary biodiversity. Many of these islands remain completely uninhabited, preserving a virtually untouched natural environment.
The new itineraries also venture along the coasts of Tanzania and Kenya—destinations rich in history, culture, and natural beauty that are still largely overlooked by most traditional cruise itineraries. Departure dates
- November 17, 2026: From Mahé to Mombasa.
- November 29, 2026: From Mombasa to Mahé.
