Marcia & Jerko

Thank you so much for such an incredible week traveling from Split to Dubrovnik. Thank you for your hospitality, food and good vibes. We will treasure these memories forever, and you will all be a part of that. Best wishes :)

First of all, thanks for the great help in organizing this short adventure. You helped us wherever it “get stuck”. rented Beneteau Oceanis 38.1 boat (Anima Maris III). It was a really wonderful experience, but we have to credit the part of the merit to skipper Igor; he tried to really fulfill all our wishes and desires, although it was not always feasible because of the weather conditions. To say that we are very satisfied is too little, and we will try somewhere in the September to get together and organize something similar again. Thanks a lot once more and you have greetings from all crew members. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA🙂

We rented the Solarec Bavaria Cruiser 46 with 4 friends to sail for a week from Split to the surrounding islands. Our guide Duje Zaja thought us how to sail, we had no experience with sailing. He always knew the best places to go to and because of his connections we slept at some great spots in Hvar, Vis and Trogir.

I was really satisfy and had a great moment with a very professional, and kind crew. Boat (gulet Adriatic Holiday) was very clean. Food was excellent, I recommend this chef! Water-skiing was great.

Global Rating – Excellent Transparent waters and a spectacular weather! Relax and enjoy the cruise, everything is perfect on board (gulet Queen of Adriatic )!

It is a really good company to charter a boat. Everything has been ok and service is quite fast. We had problems with the engine for dingy but it was resolved asap taking into consideration being on an island many nm from Split.

Fantastic service from the team at Orvas. Great boats and excellent team on shore made it very easy. Thanks for a great holiday.

The holiday was incredible The crew on the boat gulet Adriatic Holiday made it extra special and they are to be looked after indeed The food places we stopped interaction with us was very professional natural and one of the highlights of the trip for me Captains attention to detail and calm approach really made us all feel very comfortable and at ease The food was superb and all in all something I would definitely do again The holiday gets 12 out of 10 for me

We absolutely loved the trip.

We go away annually as a group and we have rated this holiday as our best thus far.

We found the service from the Captain and his crew to be perfect and we appreciated the personal touch... Captain Ante planned each trip carefully so that we may arrive and depart at the right time to ensure that we either get the best dockingmooring spot or get to experience an amazing sunrisesunset He was also very accommodating to our requests and offered valuable insight to help us choose where we would like to go and what we would like to do.

The boat gulet Adriatic Holiday is well maintained and has plenty of space There were 11 people on board incl crew and we never felt crowded The rooms and amenities eg aircon were great and we were all very comfortable for the duration of the trip.

An ultra-luxury cruise line wants to attract wealthy Americans with its all-inclusive 'yachts' — see what the new 128-guest ship will be like

• Ultra-luxury cruise line  Emerald Cruises says its third ocean ship will debut in 2026.
• The all-inclusive vessel, which Emerald calls a "yacht," would accommodate up to 128 people.
• Emerald, known for river cruises, has been investing more in its ocean-based business.

Over the last few years, the mass-market cruise industry's larger-than-life mega-ships — outfitted with loud waterparks and more dining options than you could eat in a week — have dominated the spotlight.

But in the ultra-luxury cruise market, it's been the opposite. The smaller and more exclusive the vessel, the better. So much so that Emerald Cruises' next ocean-based ship, launching in 2026, plans to accommodate no more than 128 travelers.

It's a far cry from Royal Caribbean's new 7,600-guest cruise liner . And the price difference is just as steep: almost $250 per night on Royal Caribbean's Icon of the Seas versus more than $720 per night on the upcoming ultra-luxury Emerald Kaia.

"When people think of cruising now, they automatically think of these large ships ," Robert Castro, the vice president of marketing for Scenic Group, Emerald's parent company, told Business Insider. "There's a market for that, but we're in a unique position."

If you’re familiar with river cruises, Emerald might ring a bell.

The cruise line, owned by Scenic Group, only offered river cruises for its first nine years.

But lately, its biggest growth and investments have been in oceans, not rivers.

In 2022 and 2023, the Switzerland-based company launched its first two ocean cruise ships, which it calls "yachts." Each accommodates a maximum of 100 guests . And so far, they've been hits, with the cruise line experiencing record-high bookings in 2023.

Yes, the ships look like yachts. And yes, they're marketed as such.

But because Emerald's vessels operate group itineraries, they still technically count as cruise ships, albeit really nice ones.

So instead of paying hundreds of thousands of dollars a week to charter a yacht, as is traditional with these high-end vessels , travelers can spend less than $800 a day for a traditional cruise on said yacht-like ship.

While it's not nearly as exclusive, it sure is a hell of a lot cheaper, "bringing the charter yacht experience to reach for people who would never even imagine," Castro said.

Emerald’s upcoming 393-foot-long, 128-guest Kaia would be perfect for fans of small, high-end ships.

The 64-cabin Emerald Kaia would have a larger guest capacity than its two predecessors but would still be tiny compared to most cruise ships, including some of the most luxurious ones.

Regent Seven Seas' new Grandeur can accommodate 746 guests, while Ritz-Carlton says its next ship will sail up to 448 travelers.

Even Four Season's upcoming vessel — with fares up to $350,000 a week — would have a larger guest capacity of up to 222 people. However, it would be almost 290 feet longer than Emerald Kaia.

Like traditional cruise ships, Kaia would have amenities like a spa, two lounges, and three dining options.

The top deck would also have a cabana and bar-lined pool, one of three swimming holes on the ship.

But unlike its mass-market competitors, Kaia would have an open-air marina that would give travelers direct access to the water.

Water platforms are typically only common on yacht-marketed ships, such as Emerald's, Ritz-Carlton's, and, someday, Four Seasons'.

This means guests on the upcoming Kaia could dip in the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Aegean seas — as is included in its 2026 and 2027 itineraries — without disembarking the ship.

According to the cruise line, Emerald Kaia's future itineraries include an 11-day sailing from Cyprus to Greece and a 20-day one from Seychelles to Kenya.

Its cheapest itinerary is currently an eight-day roundtrip Seychelles vacation in 2027, starting at $5,055 per person.

As an all-inclusive cruise line, amenities like alcohol, WiFi, and excursions would be included in the base fare. However, unlike all-inclusive competitor Regent Seven Seas , guests must pay for their flights to and from the ship.

To compare, itineraries of the same length on Regent's Seven Seas Grandeur and Ritz-Carlton's Ilma would be $36 cheaper and $120 more expensive, respectively, per day.

But the fares aren't stopping travelers from gravitating toward Emerald. Before it unveiled Kaia, its parent company announced a record number of bookings in January — up 67% compared to its previous record in January 2020.

Castro said about 20% to 35% of its guests are American, typically well-acquainted with luxury travel.

The company's goal has been to increase its number of American customers. So far, it's working and is now "on track to be Emerald's No. 1 market," Castro told BI.

The new vessel is being built at a great time for the cruise line.

Strong demand, compounded by a small fleet of small ships, has led to fewer available cabins for its upcoming summer Mediterranean cruises.

Several of these sailings are now fully reserved. The cheapest remaining fares start at $4,570 per person for an eight-day November sailing from Athens, Greece, to Dubrovnik, Croatia.

It's great news for Emerald as it considers a future with more ocean "yachts." "The sooner we fill the ships, the sooner we start building new ones," Castro said.
