Emerald's state-of-the-art river ships have heated swimming pools with retractable roofs (this space converts to a movie theater on some evenings), as well as balcony suites that open to the outdoors with the push of a button.

Expertly guided excursions in port include EmeraldACTIVE hiking, biking and canoeing activities and the EmeraldPLUS program, which helps passengers explore the local culture in depth. On Danube Delights, for example, guests can join a Slovakian family for coffee and cake in their home or participate in a guided cycling tour in Vienna. The fleet is also equipped with bicycles that guests can use ashore.

There's still time to join Emerald on a festive Christmas markets cruise in Europe. These merry departures in late November and December visit outdoor holiday bazaars where merchants sell delicious treats and handcrafted goods like ornaments, toys and woodcarvings. Sausages sizzle on grills, carolers sing and vendors' booths are decorated with evergreen garlands and twinkling lights.

Emerald also offers upscale yacht cruises in destinations like the Mediterranean and the Caribbean. These intimate vessels accommodate up to 100 guests each, and all staterooms and suites offer ocean views and deluxe amenities. You'll enjoy spacious lounges, spa and fitness facilities, an infinity pool and daily entertainment. The ships are also equipped with Zodiacs, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, floating platforms and water trampolines.

This winter, the line will launch new yacht sailings in the Caribbean. Sail crystal-clear waters to peaceful coves and serene beaches on lesser-known islands. You might enjoy an overnight stay in stylish St. Barts, join a beach barbecue in Virgin Gorda or ring in the New Year with an unforgettable onboard celebration.
