The price of your cruise covers delicious meals on board with wine, beer and soft drinks at lunch and dinner, along with gratuities, Wi-Fi, excursions in every port and airport transfers.

Emerald's innovative 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. For example, on Danube Delights, 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.

Emerald will debut two new itineraries in 2024. The 10-day Danube Explorer & Highlights of Budapest visits five central European countries and includes a Bavarian brunch at a farm in Passau and a folklore show in Budapest. Rhine Castles & Moselle Vineyards introduces two new ports, Utretcht and Nijmegen in the Netherlands, for the company. The 11-day trip features a canal cruise through Dutch waterways and a visit to the windmills of Kinderdijk, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Emerald also offers upscale oceangoing yacht cruises in destinations like the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Central America. The company's intimate vessels accommodate up to 100 guests each, and every stateroom and suite offers an ocean view 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. To see all of these departures, click here.
