Emerald Europe - River Cruise Reviews

We chose this cruise because our friends recommended it to us. The team on board the Emerald Radiance led by Cornell their outstanding manager were without exception genuinely friendly, warm, attentive and dedicated to making the cruise the best experience possible for their guests. Whilst I am aware they offer the same holiday experience every week, they made us feel like our cruise was the ...

First river cruise we had taken, so glad it was the Emerald Radiance. From the start the service was excellent, the staff being exceptionally friendly and a ready smile. The dining was always top quality from the perfect selection of breakfast right through to the dinners, alway 5 star in our opinion . The cabin was always very clean although on the small side but very well laid out, ...

Reasons we chose this cruise: 1) we had a wedding in Madrid and the timing was perfect to follow up with this cruise 2) I had visited Porto in the past and I wanted my husband to see one of my favorite cities 3) River cruises are the best of both worlds. We have sailed with Emerald three times before and never disappointed. The staff on the Emerald were fantastic in all respects. The ...

We were going to London for a family wedding chose this Emerald cruise mostly due to the dates and their solo cabins. The cruise included free airfare and since we were going to London, Emerald booked us flights to London rather than Prague, several days earlier, without any additional fees. We booked our own flight to Prague and still got the included transfer to the hotel. ...

Emerald Liberte was a slightly smaller ship to those that Emerald have on the Rhine and Danube - but still had the covered swimming pool at the back end of Horizon Deck and the relaxing area around it. My favourite place on these ships and one reason I prefer Emerald. The schedule also included a tour to Beaune from Chalon-sur-Saone, with a visit to its amazing Hospices de Beaune. Not offered on ...

We have cruised with Emerald In Europe twice before. They are always excellent and this cruise was no exception. The ship and crew were first class. Emerald gives excellent value with no hidden fees and they are truly all inclusive. Included excusions every day, all payments , tips/gratuities for guides and drivers are prepaid. There is no requirement or even expectation for tipping any crew or ...

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 ...

We attended a local presentation and then booked a river cruise with Emerald. All of the ship's crew were very friendly and professional and made every aspect of the cruise very enjoyable. The food was amazing and there were always alternate choices if needed. The entertainment varied each evening and included special guests, such as local bands or accordion player or violin player. The daily ...

We chose this cruise purely as novices to Europe and wanting to explore as much as we could in a reasonable time. Starting in Budapest and finishing in Amsterdam it was as busy or not as you wanted it to be. We chose to do as much as we could to get the most out of our time. We did all included tours, a few “Active” tours and paid for 2 extra tours. Our days were full, fun and we learned a lot. ...

Went from Regensburg to Budapest. Boat was beautiful, crew friendly - absolutely bent over backwards to help and so kind. Food was delicious and you could go smart casual or just casual. Cabin comfortable and spotless, as was whole ship, which gleamed. Highlights were private concert in the Ludowicz Palace, Vienna, with champagne reception (take Euros cash for programme) and afternoon tea at ...
