EMERALD CRUISES

Founded in 2013 by Australian Glen Moroney, as a division of Scenic.
It branched into yacht cruising around 2020. The yachts are private, small, exclusive. These 110 metres in length, their spectacular superyachts go beyond yacht cruising expectations.
There is an abundance of space to easily find a secluded spot to read one of our cozy cruise mystery books or enjoy unimpeded views of the unspoilt landscapes. With only 100 guests and a crew of 64, you are afforded an excellent level of personal service throughout your holiday.
Take a relaxing dip in the infinity-style pool, or arrange to meet new-found friends at one of our comfortable meeting spots. This is luxury.

About Us 

Doris Visits is just a little hobby, and a way of helping people research ports and ships. It is our way of giving back as we are on the ships between 6 and 12 times a year as Guest Lecturers. The site is also supported by other guest lecturers.

Why Doris?  It was a character Jean played in a TV show and we started the port guides as a little spin-off. It took over. I mean, rode into town and said this is it.

Who is Jean?  Jean is a West End and Broadway actress who now has her own one woman show called Royal Mistresses, which she performs at guilds and on ships. Hence, she cruises – a bit. She now presents TV and is known by many cruisers for her Doris Visits port guides.

Who is Stuart?  Featured in a clip in the 2024 Oscars – in the tribute to movie stuntmen – he was the Queen Alien in Aliens. Now, he points the iPhone at Jean when they go and explore ashore. He finished in movies as a director, and now writes cruise thrillers.

The grandchildren who sometimes travel and from their son Luke Aikman. He was the young Colin Firth in Fever Pitch and appeared in Freight. He is now a producer and business entrepreneur. Their daughter helped with the plot of the first four novels and is now writing with comedian Joe Wilkinson. Laura Aikman is known for being the girlfriend in the Christmas Gavin and Stacey, and Dyan Cannon in Archie. Some grew up with her Saturday show, Mysti.
