Emerald Cruise Reviews for River from Amsterdam

What an outstanding cruise! No complaints. The boat, crew, tours, food were second to none. Very clean room with all you need to be comfortable. The food was top notch and as I have specific food needs, they met them and I felt very safe eating. The food was plentiful and the Chef Suggestions were always local or regional dishes. Nice touch. Wine pairings were very good, too. The crew ...

Did Budapest to Amsterdam originally scheduled on the Dawn but due to low water we were moved to the Sky. Since the boats are similar it was not an issue. The ship is modern and comfortable and the staff are excellent friendly and helpful. The passengers were mainly from Canada, Australia the US most in their 60s and up. Stayed in a Grand balcony suite which came with a separate balcony area plus ...

I chose this tour because it covered the Rhine and the Danube rivers. Also, it had the no single supplement available and as a solo traveller this is a bonus as the regular cruise price is very expensive. The staff on the Emerald Sun were very personable and helpful. They addressed you by your first name rather than a generic greeting in most cases. The cruise ship was kept clean and neat. ...

15 day - Splendours of Europe river cruise One of us was a completely new cruiser, the other had been on an ocean cruise 30 years ago. We wanted to be able to see as many sites in Europe as we could without sitting on a bus for too long. This cruise fit the bill perfectly, travelling to lots of different places. The local tour guides were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Sailing ...

Initial embarkation was straightforward, as the ship was docked adjacent to the port, but if this is not the case as we encountered later, it can be a matter of luck whether there is a straight walk through another ship, or if one has to climb to the sun deck, traverse two sun decks, and down again to the dock. As I am able to walk a few steps with assistance, this was less of a problem for me, ...

We booked this cruise because we got a good deal. But right from the beginning there was trouble. We put down our deposit, but then the deadline was approaching to pay the balance we could not get in touch. Our messages went unanswered and could not reach any person. We were getting nervous. Finally, a few weeks before the travel date we finally, after numerous calls, reached someone to pay. ...

This was our first river cruise and we were hugely anticipating the adventure. It started wonderfully well in Amsterdam on the Emerald Star. The first week was excellent - great staff, great food, clean and comfortable boat. Then, because of low river levels, we had to be bussed to join the Emerald Sky for our second week and to join the 120 guests already on that ship (we had been ...

We chose this cruise because we had travelled with Emerald before and wanted to explore the Rhine region. The itinerary was from Amsterdam to Basel and our cruise was the first of the season. A high percentage of the crew was new to river cruising and this showed in the quality of service in the restaurant - no shortage of enthusiasm and food quality was good but lack of training was ...

It was actually the Blooms of Holland and Belgium cruise as they switched ships at the last minute. This was our first ever cruise of any sort and it was simply a marvellous experience. We are keen now to book our next one! The ship was stunning and the cabins were well thought out and clean with superb stewards attending. In fact all the ship's crew were amazing - so much so that it's nigh ...

We booked this Emerald cruise 2 years back for our Emerald wedding anniversary, Covid forced the delay. Food was good but limited in choice in comparison to other river cruises we have done with a massive buffet selection. With limited mobility access to the sun deck was limited with no assisted methods, lift or chairlift. Staff were good and Igor did well.. As this expensive cruise was sold with ...
