Features
Our brand new Emerald 'Star Ships', the Emerald Dawn and the Emerald Sun, have made their debut voyages and have received high marks from our guests. You'll enjoy all the same great features, including our open air system in the balcony suites and the indoor/ outdoor pool area, that make the "Star Ships" the 2014 Cruise Critic Editors' Pick award winners for best new river ships.
Cabins
No matter which river cruise you choose, all your meals on-board the ship; beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; on-shore excursions and touring; a special selection of EmeraldPLUS experiences; all travel and transfers from selected airports; and all tipping are included in the price. It's what we like to call 'Exceptional Emerald Value'.
Cruises & Departures
Step on to an award-winning ship where the spacious Sun Deck offers panoramic views of the stunning scenery. Relax in the fresh air while enjoying a light lunch and a glass of wine al-fresco on The Terrace. Enjoy insightful excursions in every port at no extra cost and we take care of tipping so you don't have to think about it. You wouldn't expect all this from a river cruise, but on an Emerald Waterways river cruise, you can look forward to it.
