Voyage Itinerary

6 November

Setting sail from Larnaca

Most visitors to Larnaca head straight from the airport to one of Cyprus's many beach resorts, skipping the city altogether, which is a great shame. Highlights include the palm-lined Finikoudes seafront promenade, the ancient church of Agios Lazaros, and Skala, the atmospheric former Turkish quarter.

7 November

Israel: Haifa

Haifa is Israel’s third city, a bustling and multicultural place where six different faiths live side by side. The city is the spiritual centre of the Baha’i Faith, and the beautiful Baha’i Gardens are a must-see. Many cruise visitors opt to skip Haifa and take an excursion to Jerusalem and Bethlehem, two to three hours’ drive away.

8 November

Israel: Ashdod (Jerusalem)

It's difficult to overstate the spiritual significance of Jerusalem, a holy city to three different faiths: Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Whatever your personal beliefs, it's impossible not to be moved by sights such as the Wailing Wall, the Dome of the Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

9 November to 10 November

Egypt: Suez

11 November - At sea

12 November

Egypt: Safaga (Luxor)

Safaga is the nearest sea port to Luxor, and ships often stop here overnight to give you time to see everything. Prepare to be amazed – the thin belt of greenery along the banks of the Nile gives Luxor a lush setting for an extraordinary collection of tombs and temple complexes that hint at the magnificence of this former Ancient Egyptian capital.

13 November

Egypt: Sharm El-Sheikh

Sharm El-Sheikh is Egypt’s most popular beach resort, situated on the Red Sea coast on the Sinai Peninsula. The wonderfully warm waters of the Ras Mohamed National Park offer fantastic snorkelling and diving, and other nearby attractions include the impressive Byzantine-era St Catherine’s Monastery.

14 November

Jordan: Aqaba

Aqaba is Jordan’s principal beach resort, situated on the Red Sea coast close to the Israeli border. The main attraction in Aqaba itself is the incredible diving, though many visitors will choose to instead use the port as a jumping off point for the 'Rose City' of Petra and the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum.

15 November - At sea

16 November

Arriving in Ain Sukhna (Cairo)

Ain Sukhna is the nearest Red Sea port to Egypt's capital, Cairo. Obviously the highlight of your visit may well be the Pyramids and Sphinx at Giza, but on no account neglect a visit to the Egyptian Museum, which has a truly stupendous collection of ancient artefacts, not least, of course, the Tutankhamen treasures.

Emerald Raiya will make her debut in the Seychelles from December 2026, before making her way to the East Mediterranean in April 2027.

What are the benefits of a small luxury ship?
