Emerald Cruises

Founded in 2013 as Emerald Waterways, Emerald Cruises is an award-winning travel operator specialising in deluxe river cruises and luxury yacht cruising. Our extensive fleet of Star-Ships is custom-built to sail Europe’s iconic Rhine, Main, Moselle, Danube, Rhone and Douro rivers, as well as the Mekong River in Southeast Asia, with each vessel hosting a range of stylish innovations. Unwind in your contemporary suite or stateroom, sample the finest cuisine in our elegant dining venues, relax on our spacious Sun Deck, and enjoy the river breeze from our indoor heated pool with a retractable roof. Emerald Azzurra and her sister Emerald Sakara are designed to dock in smaller ports, providing access to extraordinary destinations that larger vessels cannot reach, with a maximum guest capacity of around 100 for an intimate, luxury experience. With inclusive excursions, EmeraldPLUS experiences, EmeraldACTIVE bike tours and guided hikes, plus onboard dining, complimentary drinks with lunch and dinner, transfers, and gratuities taken care of, you can simply relax and enjoy the voyage.
