Emerald Raiya Cruises

Amici Bar & Lounge will offer a more sheltered gathering place, with comfortable seating for catching up with fellow guests or enjoying an evening drink together. Selected wines, beers, cocktails and soft drinks will be included throughout the day, rather than only at mealtimes. You’ll be able to make a relaxed drink part of your afternoon without purchasing a separate package for the included selection. Premium choices outside the standard offering may carry an additional charge.

There will also be room to leave the evening unplanned. Stay over dinner, find a comfortable seat in Amici Bar & Lounge or head outdoors to enjoy the harbour lights. The Observation Lounge will provide a quieter alternative for reading or conversation. Specific performances and activities will vary by sailing, with the destinations remaining central to the experience.

At suitable anchorages, the Marina Platform will open up another side of the voyage. Planned watersports equipment includes paddleboards and snorkelling gear, allowing you to spend time on the water as well as looking out over it. You might join a marina session for an active afternoon or enjoy a swim before returning to the lounge nearby. Availability will depend on weather, sea conditions, local permissions and the crew’s assessment.

Included guided excursions will introduce selected sights, while EmeraldPLUS experiences will explore local culture, and EmeraldACTIVE outings will offer more energetic ways to discover a destination. Optional DiscoverMORE excursions will provide additional choices at an extra cost. The mix will vary between Mediterranean, Red Sea and Seychelles sailings, so check your itinerary’s inclusions and activity requirements when planning your days.

Active shore excursions will provide another way to keep moving, with opportunities to explore on foot or take part in other outdoor activities where offered.

Elements Spa will provide a quieter retreat, with massage and beauty treatments complemented by sauna facilities. After a morning walking through archaeological sites or exploring a coastal town, you’ll have somewhere comfortable to slow down before dinner. Treatments and salon services are expected to carry an additional charge. Elsewhere, the outdoor pools and sun loungers will offer a simpler option for downtime, with no appointment needed to enjoy the view.

Teenagers interested in ancient history, photography or watersports may find plenty to engage them across the different itineraries.

Selected connecting suites are planned, offering families a way to stay close while retaining separate spaces. Age requirements, adult supervision rules and cabin-sharing arrangements should be confirmed before booking. Excursions and marina activities may also have their own restrictions. A mix of sightseeing, time on the water and relaxed afternoons aboard will help balance different interests without filling every day.
