Wonderful cruise on the Douro River with Emerald Radiance

We chose Emerald Cruises as we had done a Rhine Cruise with them in 2022 and we had a wonderful experience. The Douro Cruise was no different. The ship is spotless and well maintained. The entire staff are very accommodating and personable. My favorite excursion was the trip to Salamanca, it is well worth the bus ride. Dinner at the winery was lovely as well. There is not much in the ...

Loved the ship and locations, didn't like the lack of care for people being sick

We chose this cruise as it would take us to places we have not been too, or places we would have never gone too. The scenery from the ship was mostly farmland and forest, but once on land there were many wonderful things to see. Food was very good, and the portions were smaller so you never left the table stuffed. The wait staff was excellent. My only concern was by day 4 people were ...

We were celebrating our Ruby Wedding Anniversary, so the Douro with an emphasis on port seemed very apt! The trip was great! Made great by the stunning ship, the outstanding staff, the wonderful scenery, delightful food and wine....I could go on! The Douro is quiet...it seemed like there was no river traffic at all for most of the cruise so it feels very special. Our excursions were really ...

Fabulous cruise on the Danube.

It has always been a "bucket list" thing for me to do. The size of the ship (less than 200 passengers), time away (14-15 days) and iconic destinations were significant considerations in choosing this cruise. It was a fantastic experience! The activities and places visited were fabulous and we had a great time strolling about taking the included walking tours with the local guides and the local ...

Took cruise to see the iconic sights of France- Province regions. Great seeing France. Lovely wineries and scenes. Great history. Overall a lot of money for having to serve myself twice a day with buffet. Standing in a lineup to get food everyday and jostling for seating each meal. Food seemed rationed. Continental Breakfast for early birds was small muffins and croissant and a couple of ...

Based on comments from friends we decided on an Emerald cruise. We chose the Douro cruise also from friends feedback about it being one of the most scenic routes. We were not disappointed. From the first day the staff were welcoming, attentive, informative and friendly. The plan for the day ahead was always communicated and there was no hard sell for optional extra expense trips! The food ...

I have nothing but gratitude and great things to say about the staff and service on the Emerald Luna. For first time river cruisers, we are now hooked and already looking forward to booking our next one! The ship itself is beautiful. The rooms are spacious, clean and well cared for by the room attendants. The service in the dining room was excellent, from the servers to the meals, an 11 out ...

We received information regarding river cruises and the itinerary on the Emerald cruise Sky on the Danube caught our attention. Read the many previous cruisers reviews and it appealed to us. We decided to book it for our 40th wedding anniversary. Our booking agent rivercruise was very attentive until we booked the trip, then it was very difficult getting answers to our questions from her prior ...

We wanted to experience a river cruise and the price was reasonable. Got off to a bad start as we were left sitting on the bus from airport to the ship for more than two and half hours while waiting for late arrivals. Even suggested we got off and walk a good distance back to the terminal if we wanted to use the facilities as there was still no word of moving off. We did and bought water ...

We chose Emerald Radiance because my wife has always wanted to do a Douro cruise and because we had a marvellous experience with Emerald on the Rhine last year. I personally didn’t expect the overall experience to be able to come close to the that of the Rhine. Let’s be fair Basel to Amsterdam, is just magical. With so many incredible historic cities, How could any cruise compete with that? So ...
