The sea trials confirmed the yacht's performance, maneuverability, and overall seaworthiness, allowing the company to proceed with final commissioning with confidence before entering service.

The inaugural sailing is an 11-day itinerary from Cyprus to the Acropolis, departing from Limassol on April 4, 2026.

Emerald Kaia accommodates up to 128 guests and features expansive lounges, terraces, decks with Missoni decor, new interconnecting suites, an Observation Sun Deck with spa pool, an indoor/outdoor gym adjacent to the marina platform, and signature restaurants including La Cucina and the Night Market Grill.

James Griffiths, Scenic Group General Manager of Ocean Operations, stated that the sea trials delivered excellent results and are a testament to the dedication of everyone involved in the project, allowing them to proceed with final commissioning confidently.

The sea trials were conducted in Halong Bay, Vietnam, from the group's shipyard. Next milestones include final fittings, delivery, and the inaugural sailing in April 2026.
