Emerald Xara — cabins, decks, dining & sailings

Your yacht cruise should also provide complete peace of mind. This is why we cover port charges, all meals on board with accompanying beverages, complimentary Wi-Fi, and cover all gratuities on board and onshore. You’ll also benefit from a first-class English-speaking crew, and enjoy excursions led by knowledgeable, local guides.

On board our luxury yachts, our lifts service all decks. Guests with limited mobility will require help from a companion, since the crew is limited. For further information, please contact one of our travel advisors.

Guests on board our luxury yachts staying in the Terrace Suites and Yacht Suites can have two items laundered per day. Owner’s One-bedroom Suite guests can have up to four items laundered per day. Guests in all other suites and cabins can request laundry services for an additional fee.

We endeavour to cater for all dietary requirements. We ask that you inform us of any requirements at the time of booking. Vegan While we do not offer separate menus, every dish is clearly marked, with suitable options to suit requirements at every meal. You can make dietary requests at the time of your booking, which are then reviewed. Personalised menus are also available. Certified vegan wines are also available on board each of our cruises; one white and one red. If you like, you can request something special at the time of booking so that it can be sourced before your cruise.

Smoking is not permitted in the cabins or any indoor section of any vessel in the Emerald Cruises fleet. There are areas on the external decks where smoking is permitted.

Complimentary Wi-Fi is available on board all Emerald Cruises luxury yachts throughout the public spaces, cabins, and suites. Please note, Wi-Fi connection strength and speed may change as the vessel moves.

We have no problem with guests purchasing alcohol for consumption in their rooms. However, we do ask that personal drinks are not consumed in the communal areas of our luxury yachts.

All our cruises are LGBT friendly. A selection of our destinations are famed for their LGBT-friendly atmosphere, including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Vienna, Cologne, Prague, and Budapest.
