Why Emerald

Why Choose This Cruise?

Emerald Waterways are a relatively new entrant to the river cruise market and sit as Scenic’s premium river cruise sister company.  Ships are brand new and very contemporary in style and the river cruising is very relaxed.  A very welcome inclusion to the premium, luxury market.  A holiday to enjoy.

Your return flights from a selection of UK airports, including transfers between the airport and the ship, are included in the price, so all you have to do is get to the airport on time.

An extensive selection of dining and drinking options on board are also included. Complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks are available with lunch and dinner, as well as free tea and coffee all day every day and a bottle of water in your room which is replenished daily, menus to suit the path you’re travelling, using fresh local ingredients and, therefore, treating every sense to a diverse adventure. Excursions are another inclusion on your journey, opening you up to more than just the ports of these beautiful destinations. Transporting you to the heart of local life, looking into the soul of what makes people tick and we do this by sending you on the most awe-inspiring trips boasting the most jaw-dropping sights.
