About this trip
Join us onboard Emerald Cruises' new super yacht, the Kaia, as we sail the coastlines of the Adriatic Sea, from Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian Coast all the way up to Venice, Italy. The Kaia is being chartered exclusively for Robert Biale Vineyards, so expect a fantastic Biale celebration on board!
We are excited to explore Croatia as it is the birthplace of Zinfandel, which is known there by its original name Crljenak Kaštelanski (alsoTribidrag).
We will set sail in Dubrovnik on June 27, 2026, and will have ample time to explore the ports of Split, Zadar, Opatija, and Piran before arriving in Venice on July 4, 2026. You'll have your choice of multiple included shore excursions in each port.
There is plenty to keep everyone happily occupied on this new ship. From relaxing in a cabana by the infinity pool to jumping into the sea from the marina deck where you can swim or enjoy aqua toys, there will be no lack of fun activities. Dining options range from casual to fine dining, all created by the talented chefs of the Kaia. Complimentary wine (in addition to the wine from Robert Biale Vineyards), cocktails and beers are also provided for your enjoyment, ensuring there will be something to please everyone's tastebuds.
The world is your oyster onboard the Kaia, as we will have the ship chartered for our group. We want this to be your best vacation ever!
