About Emerald Xara
Emerald Xara is a new Emerald Cruises cruise ship, due to enter service in 2028. She will carry 128 guests. She is set to sail Asia, Australia and New Zealand, South Pacific itineraries.
Emerald Xara is the third of Emerald's larger Kaia-design yachts, announced for launch in 2028 with room for up to 128 guests. Emerald plans to use her to take its yacht product to new waters, making her the first Emerald yacht to cruise Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. An earlier plan had her starting in the Mediterranean in 2027 and wintering in the Caribbean, but the company's current yacht pages give the 2028 date and the Asia-Pacific deployment. No deck plans, dimensions or itineraries have been released.
