Emirates heralds a new era in luxury cruises
Emirates Airlines aims to redefine luxury cruises with its new cruise line, Emirates Sealine, with first-class experiences and exclusive itineraries to rare ports of call. The company has placed a multi-billion dollar order for an initial fleet of 10 cruise ships, which are currently being outfitted with the latest and most luxurious amenities.
Breaking with convention, Emirates Sealine will offer an off-season cruise schedule, calling initially at ports in Pakistan. Captain Jack Shallow, the newly appointed Chief Maritime Officer at the helm of Emirates Sealine, underscored the company’s commitment to innovation and luxury.
Captain Jack Shallow: “We are working to offer unprecedented onboard luxury, never-before-explored itineraries and once-in-a-lifetime experiences. We will keep a tight ship to ensure we deliver on our promises to our customers.”
Emirates is no stranger to the world of ultra-luxury cruising and its leadership has extensive experience in the maritime industry. Emirates Group chief Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum owns a private yacht, Factory.
His familiarity with the luxury yacht industry could provide valuable insights and expertise for the development of Emirates Sealine’s cruise lines, further increasing the credibility and appeal of this ambitious company.
Revolutionary speed and sustainability
Emirates Sealine not only focuses on luxury, but also on sustainability and efficiency. The company plans to develop next-generation cruise ships capable of traveling at more than 50 knots per hour, almost twice as fast as today’s fastest ships. Emirates Sealine will use cutting-edge technology, artificial intelligence and innovation.
Given the impressive speed of Emirates Sealine’s cruise lines, it’s worth considering how this development could affect the airline’s aviation division.
Given the company’s focus on offering air-land-sea voyages, some might argue that depending on the cruise line’s success, there could be potential for a shift in priorities. It remains to be seen how the launch of Emirates Sealine will impact Emirates Airline’s long-term strategy and the airline industry as a whole.
It could well be the beginning of a great new era in seafaring, to which the cruise line has also dedicated itself Maritime sustainabilityworks with providers on sustainable marine fuels (SMF), solar panels, recycling and waste management initiatives.

The fleet will feature four cabin types, each offering different levels of space, amenities and luxury. More product and service details are expected to be released in the future.
As Emirates Sealine prepares for her maiden voyage, cruise enthusiasts and luxury travelers can look forward to a new era of quality cruising experiences. With its innovative approach to speed, sustainability and luxury, Emirates Sealine is poised to make waves in the cruise industry when it sets sail in 2024.
