AMAZING NEW EXPERIENCE - SUPERYACHT CRUISING

Phil Hoffmann Travel introduces superyacht cruising with Emerald Cruises. With only a maximum of 100 guests these custom-designed yachts allow you unique access to the fascinating ports and harbours only small yachts can reach.

Onboard Experience

Reaching an impressive 110 metres in length, this spectacular new super yacht will exceed your yacht cruising expectations. And with an intimate 100 guests on board, there's an abundance of space throughout.

Discover a secluded spot to read a book, enjoy unimpeded views of the unspoilt landscapes, take a relaxing dip in the infinity-style pool, or arrange to meet fellow guests at one of our comfortable meeting spots.

Dine

Fine á la carte dining and sumptuous breakfast and lunch buffets in the serene setting of our spacious Reflections Restaurant, take inspiration from the Mediterranean path we’re navigating.

Expect fresh, locally sourced dinners, thoughtfully crafted by our expert chefs, with complimentary sommelier-paired wine, beer or soft drinks with lunch and dinner.

And, in the evening, once you’ve enjoyed your meal, you can head to the back of the restaurant to appreciate the ocean breeze from our large al fresco terrace, before a nightcap in the plush, relaxed location of the Horizon Bar & Lounge.

Unwind

Unwind completely in our on board Wellness Centre, where a selection of indulgent spa treatments^ include massages, facials and even a hairdressers.

We’ve introduced a well-equipped gym for those who like to keep up with their fitness regime, as well as a fitness guide who will hold a variety of classes to encourage you to stretch your legs and find your centre during your time on the water.

Explore at your leisure

We’ve included everything you need to get the most out of your cruise, so you won’t have to spend a penny extra if you don’t want to.

Our exclusive EmeraldVALUE programme provides you with unique encounters, sure to become the highlight of your adventure. Handpicked by our journey designers, you’ll meet locals from ancient communities, take part in insightful activities and embark on guided tours of some of the most prestigious premises in the world.

And, for the more active guest, our EmeraldACTIVE excursions consist of guided bike rides and hikes, for an alternative perspective on a location.

Discover on your own

As well as providing a range of included excursions in key ports, we've ensured you'll have time to dedicate to independent exploration.

We want you to feel free to personalise your time onshore, with plenty of opportunity for you to disembark your yacht for unguided city visits and evenings out.

You will also have the opportunity to explore each destination further by booking one of our EmeraldMORE^ optional excursions.

Of course, your cruise director will always be available to point you in the right direction and inspire you with regards to a destination’s hotspots.
