Which rivers do Emerald Cruises explore?
A cruise with Emerald Waterways will take you along many iconic rivers of Europe. These include the Danube, Rhine, Main, Rhône and Douro rivers. In 2019, we launched our first Star-Ship outside of Europe, the Emerald Harmony sails along the mighty Mekong River between Vietnam and Cambodia.

Discover Super Yacht Cruising in Europe:
In 2022, Emerald Cruises brand new, innovative super yacht, Emerald Azzurra, will welcome her first guests to Europe. With just 100 guests on board, this stylish and luxurious yacht has been custom-designed to allow unique access to the fascinating ports and harbours only small yachts can reach.

Let us take you on a journey, off the beaten track and along timeless trade routes, on board our bespoke super yacht, Emerald Azzurra. Discover some of the oldest communities to have ever existed, explore the crystalline waters connecting stunning island groups and even uncover the mysteries of the Holy Land.
