Emerald Cruises, Themed Sailings and More

Emerald Cruises provides an exceptional value with its river cruises on the Rhine, Danube and other waterways. The upfront rate includes onboard meals, gratuities, airport transfers, shore excursions in every port, Wi-Fi, bottled water stocked daily in your cabin and wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner.

Plus, Vacations To Go customers can enjoy special savings on Emerald cruises. To see all current offers, click here.

Emerald's 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. The fleet is equipped with bicycles that guests can use to explore ashore.

Expertly guided excursions in port -- covered in the upfront rate -- include EmeraldACTIVE hiking, biking and canoeing excursions and the EmeraldPLUS program, which helps passengers explore the destination's 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.

This summer, the line will introduce new family river cruises on the Rhine and Danube. These carefully designed itineraries feature fun and exciting activities for the whole family, such as archery lessons at Schallaburg Castle, a cooking class at a farm in Bratislava, a geocaching tour of Heidelberg and a cable car ride up Ehrenbreitstein Fortress for unforgettable hilltop views.

In addition to river cruises, Emerald also offers upscale yacht cruises in attractive destinations like the Mediterranean, the Caribbean and Central America. The company's intimate vessels accommodate up to 100 guests each and feature modern oceanview staterooms with deluxe amenities. Each ship boasts spacious lounges, spa and fitness facilities, an infinity pool and daily entertainment. The yachts are also equipped with Zodiacs, snorkeling gear, paddleboards, floating platforms and water trampolines. Our customers can save with our special offers.
