Itinerary

Arrive in Larnaca and step aboard your luxurious Emerald Cruises superyacht ready to embark on an unforgettable cruise of the Red Sea.

Please book your flight to arrive into Larnaca prior to 03:00 PM. (D)

Haifa is a bustling port city offering stunning seaside views and vibrant urban life. One of Haifa's most notable landmarks is Mount Carmel, a coastal mountain range that creates an impressive backdrop to the city. Perched atop Mount Carmel, you'll find the Shrine of the Bab, a majestic golden-domed structure. The shrine is surrounded by the Baha'i Gardens, also known as the Hanging Gardens of Haifa. (B/L/D)

In Haifa enjoy views of the bustling harbour set against the backdrop of Mount Carmel. Within the city, the restored stone houses and cafés of the German Colony neighbourhood create picturesque streetscapes. Dine at one of the many eateries and try local specialities such as Shawarma, a Middle Eastern dish of sliced meat or the savoury pastries Borekas filled with cheese, spinach, or potato. (B/L/D)

Relish the nautical adventure of a lifetime with some relaxing time at sea. Enjoy the lavish comforts of your luxury yacht — slide into the infinity-style pool where the water touches the horizon; ascend to the Sky Deck to drink in panoramic views or relax in the Observation Lounge. (B/L/D)

Today we cross the Suez Canal before reaching Egypt's Ain Sokhna. The Suez Canal, built by Ferdinand de Lesseps and completed in 1869, carves through 162km of desert, linking the Mediterranean to the Red Sea. (B/L/D)

Positioned on the western shore of the Red Sea's Gulf of Suez, Ain Sokhna is an elegant seaside town. It's only two hours from the Egyptian capital, Cairo, making it the perfect base for visiting the Great Pyramids of Giza, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. (B/L/D)

Safaga is an enchanting Egyptian city that offers a unique blend of natural beauty, water sports, and interesting history. The former fishing village is known for its fresh air, black sand dunes, and mineral springs. (B/L/D)

On the tip of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula is the glamorous resort city of Sharm el-Sheikh. Here, the desert meets the sea, creating an environment rich in biodiversity and a melting pot of cultures. Visitors can dive into the fascinating world beneath the Red Sea's surface, stroll through ancient mosques or bustling bazaars. (B/L/D)

Eilat, on the edge of Negev Desert between Egypt and Jordan and encircled by unique rock formations, is a destination of sun, sea and desert. Famous for water sports and incredible natural beauty, Eilat is the gateway to the Coral World Underwater Observatory with Aquarium Museum, Shark Tank, Turtle and Stingray Pool. (B/L/D)

Today we leave Eilat to reach Aqaba. In prehistoric times, Aqaba's coastal location meant it flourished as an epicentre of trade and communication. Its importance grew even more during the Iron Age when it was part of the biblical kingdoms of Edom, Moab, and later the Nabatean kingdom. (B/L/D)

Your luxurious yacht cruise concludes in Aqaba, where you'll be transferred to the airport for your return flight home or to continue your holiday.

Please book your flight to depart out of Aqaba after 08:00 AM.

Amazing Azzurra 4 , VIC, Australia, May 2023
Eleven days of pure bliss, our expectations were surpassed on this voyage from Athens to Athens. We could not fault any aspect of our time aboard or any of the activities we enjoyed. Special mentions go to Karen (activities), Paul (chef & his crew) and Ozay in the spa.
