Day 1 - Larnaca, Cyprus

Welcome to Larnaca, a lively coastal city on Cyprus’s southeastern shore, where the modern waterfront sits alongside the archaeological remains of ancient Kition. Here, past and present blend seamlessly: narrow streets lined with traditional architecture sit beside a lively marina and picturesque seafront promenade. Larnaca invites you to stroll along the waterfront, visit historic churches and mosques, and soak in the warm hospitality of the local people before you step on board your luxury Emerald yacht.

Please book your flight to arrive into Larnaca prior to 02:00 PM.

Day 2 - Haifa, Israel

Your next stop is Israel’s third-largest city, Haifa, a bustling port city offering stunning seaside views and a vibrant urban life. One notable landmark is Mount Carmel, a coastal mountain range that creates an impressive city backdrop. Perched atop Mount Carmel, you'll find the Shrine of the Bab, a majestic golden-domed structure surrounded by the Baha'i Gardens, known as the Hanging Gardens of Haifa.

Day 3 - Ashdod, Israel

Ashdod boasts a thriving cultural scene and is a gateway to other significant sites in Israel, notably the 5000-year-old city of Jerusalem and further east, the Dead Sea. A visit to Jerusalem is of profound historical and religious significance. One of the world’s oldest cities, this holy city seamlessly blends ancient with modern-day times and offers visitors numerous must-see sacred monuments, such as the Western Wall, The Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Gates of the Old City.

Day 4 - Transit through the Suez Canal

Sail through the Suez Canal, the historic waterway linking the Mediterranean and Red Seas, and one of the world’s most important trade routes. This engineering marvel connects three continents and has shaped global trade for more than a century.

Day 5 - Transit through the Suez Canal

From the decks of your luxury yacht, watch the stark desert landscape roll past as you transit from the Mediterranean to the Red Sea.

Day 6 - At sea

As you cruise to your next exciting destination, you’ll have an opportunity to relish relaxing downtime at sea. Enjoy the lavish comforts of your stylish yacht — slide into the infinity-style pool where the azure water appears to blur with the horizon, ascend to the Sky Deck to drink in panoramic views, or simply relax in the Observation Lounge.

Day 7 - Safaga, Egypt

You’ll find Safaga relatively small and quiet, with a laid-back atmosphere ideal for those looking to relax and unwind. In addition to its natural beauty Safaga offers a peaceful Red Sea stop, known for its relaxed atmosphere, beaches, and mineral-rich waters.

Day 8 - Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt

Discover Sharm El-Sheikh, where coral reefs, desert scenery, and lively bazaars create one of Egypt’s best-known Red Sea resort experiences. The city is renowned for its coral-rich waters and world-class diving and snorkelling, while the Old Market and bustling bazaars invite you to stroll through stalls overflowing with local handicrafts and spices. You can also explore historic mosques and striking desert landscapes stretching into the Sinai interior.

Day 9 - Aqaba, Jordan

Arrive in Aqaba, a picturesque coastal city on the Gulf of Aqaba at the southern tip of Jordan. This historic port is a treasure trove of archaeological sites such as Aqaba Fort and the Ayla ruins, showcasing thousands of years of trade and settlement.  Aqaba serves as a gateway to Petra and Wadi Rum, offering unforgettable excursions into Jordan’s ancient desert heartlands.

Relish the nautical adventure of a lifetime with some relaxing downtime at sea.
