"We have had the most amazing time on board. Every single member of this crew helped make our holiday really special. We will never forget all the memories we made here together. Each of you have made such an impression on our family and we are so grateful for the incredible hospitality. Captain Mark's stories and ping pong skills made our last night incredible. Michelle and her team went above and beyond to make us all feel taken care of. Mike's playlists on the tender were such a big highlight. Talia made us all laugh, we sip and cry (lately) during our booty buster workout. Joey made us laugh on the booze cruise. Jack stole our hearts especially when he came out as Taylor Swift on the last night. Kiera's espresso martinis stole the show and her heartfelt conversations were so appreciated. Jane took such incredible care of our cabins, they were truly impeccable. Cam was such a pleasure every time we got to hang and laugh with him. Matt took such amazing care of the things we needed. Manos made every meal feel special, home-cooked and delicious. We will never forget this team and how you made us feel. Thank you for one of the best holidays we've ever had. We are already dreaming up the next one.” - Client
“Dear Emerald Crew,
We have so much gratitude for each and every one of you! A week on Emerald in beautiful Amalfi could not have been better. We loved every meal, and the special nights (esp. Taylor Swift). Will have us smiling for years to come. The water sports were soooo much fun, and a few of us are going to bring our foiling skills back home for lots more foiling fun. Thank you all for making our family trip and graduation celebrations so special. We can't wait to come back! Love and best wishes to all of you” - Client

Thank you so much for giving us an amazing holiday! You’ve given us a lifetime of memories. In a short span of time we’ve covered so much distance and discovered so many new and exciting places. Thank you for the hundreds of iced coffees you must have made! Thank you for the BRUTAL workouts! Thank you for the fishing! Thank you for everything you have done for us on this trip. There was never a dull moment.
The crew never failed to keep us entertained, laugh and smile. You guys made it such a special trip. We are forever grateful for this amazing trip.
Our highlight of the trip was both the Princess Diana beach in Bermuda, it was the most amazing beach we’d ever been to. Absolutely stunning! Dominica was such an amazing place to travel around. From the rivers to swimming in waterfalls and gorges. We’ve seen nothing like it. We discovered the most amazing corners of that beautiful island and thanks to you guys we were able to make those amazing memories.
Once again, thank you so much for giving us this trip of a lifetime!
We wish you all well! And good luck on your next adventures.” - Client 2024

We can't say thank you enough for the most incredible week. Nothing was too much trouble and you made every second of the trip fun for us.
