With their sleek, stylish Star-Ships boasting a modern and spacious design, and revolutionary features to enhance your onboard experience, such as a heated pool with a retractable roof and bar, a relaxing oasis by day which transforms into a cinema on selected evenings, it's no wonder that, despite being one of the newest kids on the block, Emerald Cruises are an award-winning fleet.
You'll first be struck by how exceptionally chic and contemporary these very beautiful ships are, but you'll soon also be delighted by the superior service experienced onboard, with one of the highest crew to guest ratios on Europe's rivers, and a crew which perfectly balances friendliness with professionalism. From the Welcome Dinner through to the Farewell Dinner, you'll enjoy fabulous dining experiences, in both the main Reflections Restaurant, and the charming al fresco venue, The Terrace, where you can enjoy a barbecue or a light lunch and a glass of wine whilst taking in the stunning surrounding scenery around you. Cuisine is inspired by the regions you're visiting, and prepared by expert chefs using local ingredients of the highest quality. Your cruise experience will be further enhanced by the services of your Emerald Cruises Cruise Director who, thanks to their passion for the diverse history and culture of the destinations on your voyage, will add further insight by providing expert commentary throughout your cruise.

Mekong
The mighty Mekong is the beating heart of Indochina, winding 3,000 miles from China through Burma, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Explore lush jungles, hill tribes, rice paddies, and Luang Prabang and Vientiane on the Upper Mekong, or the delights of Vietnam and Cambodia on the Lower Mekong

Rhône
A Rhône river cruise takes you through France’s gastronomic heartland, from Burgundy's winelands, to the lavender fields of Provence, offering epicurean delights, charming & historic cities, from Lyon to Arles & Avignon, and landscapes so beautiful, they seduced artists such as Van Gogh & Cezanne
