Emerald Cruises: Itineraries for the Caribbean in 2025


Emerald Cruises, the luxury cruise line, has unveiled new itineraries for early 2025, tailored for guests who wish to escape the winter chill at home and indulge in the pristine beaches, coral reefs, and vibrant culture of the Caribbean. 

Specifically, the Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara yachts offer guests the chance to relax in the Aqua Pool on board, swim from the yacht’s Marina platform, and enjoy Caribbean views from the observation decks. 

 

These luxury yachts boast innovative design and thoughtfully arranged lounges, as well as an excellent guest-to-staff ratio. This enhances the unforgettable experience provided by the many cruises designed for this tropical paradise. 

Among the highlights is the eight-day Caribbean Yachting Discovery cruise, departing on February 8, 2025. It is designed to explore the smaller, picturesque islands of the Caribbean, from St. John’s, Antigua to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Here, guests can enjoy the pink sands of Barbuda, the historic sites of the Îles des Saintes, and the charm and markets of Guadeloupe. Guests will also visit the hidden beaches and coves of Norman Island in the British Virgin Islands. This cruise combines culture and nature with a guided excursion included in the itinerary. Emerald Cruises’ prices include flights, transfers, meals, and excursions. 

On February 22, 2025, the Cruising the Leeward Islands voyage will take guests to the Leeward Islands, where they can admire the most beautiful beaches and swim in the clearest Caribbean waters. Departing from Marigot, Saint Martin, highlights include snorkeling at coral reefs, a visit to the Virgin Gorda Caves, and a dip in the natural pool of Norman Island. The cruise will also feature a live band and an exclusive beach barbecue before visiting Anegada and Gustavia. 

Also of note is the eight-day Eastern Caribbean with St. Barths cruise, starting on February 1, 2025. This itinerary features the white sandy beaches and breathtaking sunsets of St. Barths. Guests will visit the vibrant capital of Gustavia to savor French and Creole cuisine and explore Nelson’s Dockyard in Falmouth Harbour, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A mud bath in the Soufrière hot springs and stunning panoramic views from the Pitons (St. Lucia) will complete the adventure before concluding the cruise in Bridgetown, Barbados. 

Emerald Cruises celebrated its tenth anniversary this year with nine Star-Ships. In 2022, it also won the Best River Cruise Line award at the Travel Industry Awards for the second consecutive year.
