Emerald Cruises Partners With PerryGolf To Create Premium Caribbean Golf Cruises Blending Luxury Yachts And Elite Golf Resorts

Emerald Cruises & Tours, the acclaimed luxury yacht and river cruise brand operated under the Scenic Group, has unveiled a new collaboration with PerryGolf, a renowned specialist in premium international golf travel. The partnership will introduce two exclusive Caribbean golf cruise experiences, combining elegant yacht journeys with access to some of the region’s most prestigious championship golf courses.

The new seven-night voyages will sail aboard Emerald Cruises’s Emerald Sakara, with departures scheduled for 4 December 2027 and 12 February 2028. Each itinerary will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy three rounds of golf at leading Caribbean resorts, including Aurora International Golf Club in Anguilla, the Robert Trent Jones II-designed course at Four Seasons Resort Nevis, and Royal Westmoreland in Barbados.

Designed for a limited number of participants, each sailing will welcome only 32 golfers, creating a more exclusive and personalised travel experience. The programmes will be fully managed and operated by PerryGolf, with demand expected to be strong among travellers seeking a combination of luxury cruising, world-class golf and unique island experiences.

The collaboration strengthens PerryGolf’s expanding portfolio of golf-focused cruise holidays by adding a boutique yacht experience in the Caribbean. The journey will blend private-style yacht cruising, exceptional golfing opportunities and immersive destination exploration, offering travellers a seamless way to experience the region’s landscapes, resorts and sporting heritage.

“Travelers today are seeking experiences that reflect their passions while allowing them to explore the world in more meaningful ways,” said Ken Muskat, President of Scenic Group USA/LATAM. “Our partnership with PerryGolf brings together two brands known for exceptional service and attention to detail to create a distinctive golf and yacht experience in the Caribbean. By combining Emerald Cruises’ intimate luxury yachts with PerryGolf’s expertise in luxury golf travel, we are introducing an exciting new way for guests to enjoy the sport they love while discovering the region’s extraordinary destinations.”

Designed to simplify luxury multi-island golf journeys, the programmes enable travellers to explore multiple Caribbean destinations while enjoying the convenience of unpacking only once. Guests can experience spacious all-suite accommodation, attentive personalised service, fine dining options, a private onboard marina platform and exclusive access to smaller ports that are often beyond the reach of larger cruise vessels.

PerryGolf will oversee every aspect of the golfing experience, managing arrangements such as course reservations, transfers between the yacht and golf venues, equipment coordination, player groupings and on-site assistance. A dedicated PerryGolf host will travel with guests throughout the voyage, with one of the golf rounds featuring a relaxed competition complete with awards. Meanwhile, Emerald Cruises will provide its renowned luxury yacht atmosphere, combining premium comfort, exceptional hospitality and an intimate cruising experience.

“Emerald Cruises is an outstanding partner for us because its yachts offer exactly what today’s luxury golf traveler is looking for: an intimate atmosphere, exceptional service and the ability to visit spectacular destinations that larger ships simply cannot access,” said Alex Shattuck, CEO of PerryGolf. “Together, we are creating an entirely new style of golf vacation that combines the very best of luxury cruising with unforgettable golf experiences in one seamless itinerary.”

The collaboration highlights the rising preference for personalised, experience-focused journeys that blend premium stays with exclusive activities and thoughtfully designed itineraries. It strengthens PerryGolf’s expanding collection of golf cruise experiences while allowing Emerald Cruises to connect with a new segment of sophisticated golf enthusiasts seeking unique luxury travel adventures.
