About This Supplier
Founded in 2013, and first sailing as Emerald Waterways in 2014, Emerald Cruises is an award-winning travel operator specializing in deluxe river cruises and luxury yacht cruises. Just one year later, in 2014, the first Star-Ship, Emerald Sky, set sail.
Our extensive fleet of Star-Ships have been custom-built to sail Europe’s iconic Rhine, Main, Moselle, Danube, Rhȏne, Saône, and Douro rivers, as well as the majestic Mekong River in Southeast Asia, with each ship featuring 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 pool with a retractable roof that transforms into an evening cinema*.
In March 2022, our groundbreaking luxury yacht Emerald Azzurra welcomed her first guests, followed by her twin sister Emerald Sakara a year later. The yachts have been specially designed to provide unique access to the fascinating ports and harbors that only small yachts can reach. The yachts feature an open-air infinity pool, a wellness deck with a spa and gym, and a marina platform with a variety of water toys.
Whether you’re traveling by river or sea, your luxury vessel will dock in the heart of amazing destinations.
