Explore Asia on a luxury yacht cruise

Step on board your contemporary yacht, Emerald Xara, and settle into a relaxed way of ocean cruising across Asia. From Japan, South Korea and Taiwan to Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia, journey through the region’s distinct cultures and cuisines, while enjoying an on board experience defined by open space and attentive service.

Cruises along Asia’s remarkable coastlines

From Japan’s quieter ports to Taiwan’s island capital and Vietnam’s coastal heritage, you can choose how deeply you’d like to explore. Visit Thailand’s islands, Malaysia’s tropical shores, Singapore’s dynamic city hub and Indonesia’s stunning archipelagos, each revealing a different side of Asia’s character.

Japan

Glide past pine-clad islands and centuries-old fishing ports as Japan reveals its quieter side. From smaller ports like Kagoshima and Yakushima to Tokyo’s neon crossings, there’s so much for you to uncover. This is a destination that feels layered, modern and full of gentle contrast.

South Korea

Follow a coast shaped by mountains, contemporary cities and enduring local traditions. Sailing in and out of Busan, you can step ashore to explore waterfront districts, taste local flavours and take in a different side of Asia by sea. Between city energy and time on deck, your yacht cruise feels both relaxing and engaging.

Taiwan

Explore Taiwan from the water, pairing the harbours of Taipei and Keelung with the gentler pace of the Penghu Islands. One day you’re stepping into night markets and city streets, the next you’re walking sea walls and bayside paths. It adds up to an island that feels coastal and surprisingly varied.
