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 ...
We chose this cruise line and time as it suited our time preference from Amsterdam to Budapest.
The Luna is a new ship and it far exceeded our expectations
The meals and food available is quite extent. We didn’t get a drinks package as we don’t drink too much but it probably is worth it if you do like a drink or two
We had to change ships to the Destiny due to the low river levels ...
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 ...
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.

We traveled as a family, my husband, our adult son and myself. We always wanted to go on a river cruise and Jewels of the Rhine was perfect for us. The itinerary is perfect and the towns we stop to visit are just beautiful, most of them having preserved their medieval architecture. Having a guide telling us about the historical places was very important to us. Emerald Luna is a modern ship with ...
This was my first river cruise and I did not know what to expect. Everything was perfect! The ship was beautiful, comfortable and spacious. Our cabin was clean and comfortable. Sailing was very smooth and relaxing.
Each day we participated in a tour at the various ports of call along the river. There was entertainment each evening in the lounge. The food was gourmet and delciious.

We had a very enjoyable week on board the ship. The staff were, without exception, extremely friendly and helpful. The head chef was - as I called him - a magician. His food was excellent. The entertainment was really good on board, with a wonderful Entertainment Manager Noel. We also particularly enjoyed the Concert in the Bruchsal Palace. The places we visited and the tours we undertook ...
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 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 ...
