Emerald Cruises, part of the Scenic Group, are small-ship cruising experts. They sail the world’s most iconic rivers and spectacular coastlines with a custom-designed fleet of Star-Ships and two luxury yachts, Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara. They promise great value and a premium cruising experience. 

The new ocean yachts, launched in 2022 and 2023, trace coastlines in the Mediterranean, the Caribbean, Southeast Asia, the Red Sea and the Adriatic Coast. One of their most popular upcoming cruises is a Greek Island getaway. The ocean-going vessels provide an intimate atmosphere for just 100 guests – passengers can relax in opulent suites, enjoy panoramic views from the Sky Bar, dive off the marina into crystal clear waters and swim in the sparkling infinity pool. 

Discerning travellers can board Emerald Cruises’ modern fleet of nine river ships, carrying between 110 and 180 guests, and float along captivating waterways flanked by vibrant landscapes. Itineraries navigate rivers such as the Mekong in Vietnam and Cambodia, the Rhône River in France, the Douro in Portugal, and the Danube, which traverses 10 countries in Europe. Their Star-Ships are built for narrow rivers, allowing them to dock closer into the heart of places like Amsterdam or Vienna. Enjoy contemporary suites, dine on regional cuisine and soak up views from heated pools that transform into open-air cinemas. 

On both river and ocean, Emerald Cruises offer all-inclusive itineraries with prices including world-class dining, shore excursions and gratuities. Guests can expect superior service with an excellent staff-to-guest ratio, and handpicked excursions from three enrichment programs: Emerald Plus, Emerald Active or Emerald Discovery.
