Europe Emerald Luna Europe Cruise Reviews

I am not a cruise person per se, but during planning for this trip, Emerald stood out as an all inclusive value oriented option that included active excursions on about every stop along the Danube, Main and Rhine Rivers. We took advantage of the active offerings and averaged over 6 miles a day walking or hiking in the various cities along the cruise route. The active tour director did a good job ...

Just got back from a 15 day European cruise on the Emerald Luna, and cannot find a bad thing to say about the ship, crew or activities. Our cruise director Michael made everyone welcome and knew all our name within the first day or so (there were about 120 of us). Yeager our activities director was charming and accommodating when we requested special activates - like an oldies sing along. ...

We always choose Emerald for our river cruises and have never been disappointed in them. The food is always good and varied, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the organisation of the tours and activities is always exceptional. The Shore Briefings every evening give the program for the next day, and there is a variety of activities available to suit all fitness levels. Yoga or Tai Chi ...

We chose to sail from Budapest to Amsterdam on the Emerald Luna. Initially we chose Emerald because of their all inclusive policy and option of active activities in addition to the regular tours. We were initially apprehensive as Emerald's offices have been difficult to reach since they were hacked several months ago. However, we received our documents the week before by email and our flights to ...

This was our fourth river cruise, previously sailing with Avalon & Viking, although a good cruise, overall Emerald would be my third choice, I’ll explain why. We were lucky enough to be in an owners suite but had family in the smaller suites. The rooms are definitely smaller, the shops are all about the same size, Emerald squeezes more cabins in and so the size of the room has to give. We had ...

We chose this cruise because of the itinerary. We chose a balcony cabin which was perfect. Our designated cabin however was at the very rear of the ship and the noise from the engine room intolerable. However d the ship was not full ad we were able to move after two nights the new cabin was great. The daily programme of activities was very extensive and would suit most peoples requirements. There ...

This was our first long river cruise which we chose for the itinerary and we had heard good things about Emerald. Super, obliging staff; a newer ship well appointed; bicycles on board; tasty and generous but not gourmet food; generous wine and beer with meals; useful tours included; amusing evening cultural and fun programmes. etc. All this plus the stops ensured a very successful holiday. And ...

We chose this as a family cruise with elderly parents. Good mixture of easy activities and active activities time ashore to visit Amsterdam, Cologne, Koblenz,Hindenburg,Strasbourg and the Black Forest.Excellent guides in all places for walking tours of the city. Meals on board were all first class and excellent all inclusive drinks packages. The ship is spotless, a small pool and gym on ...

The cruise ship and the staff on board are top notch. Previously did scenic and say the ship and staff are comparable. As a bonus, the ship was only half full and we had a great time. Note that the itinerary is less impressive than others as there are fewer choices in each port. The food was better than I expected and good - and a good selection of wine for each meal was provided. The ...

Had been recommended this company by friends who’d travelled previously. Would now totally agree with them that this was a very good one. We have done river cruises before, paying for more expensive companies, but can categorically say Emerald is far superior in all aspects. The staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. All were very friendly and professional. We felt ...
