Emerald Europe - Western Mediterranean Cruise Reviews

Awesome vacation, great boat and crew, thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We chose this cruise to celebrate a special occasion, purchasing nearly two years ago on Supersaver. We are regular river cruisers and like the Emerald product and staff personal interactions. Azzurra exceeded River cruising for cabins, amenities, food, and overall experience. We also enjoyed near perfect weather, one just ...

What drew us to the Azzurra initially was its looks of course, then after researching further the small amount of other passengers made it feel exclusive. Well, it did not disappoint. It's a stunning ship with the interior matching the exterior We chose a balcony stateroom and glad we did as we did get to see the smaller cabins with no balconies. More space in ours of course. The room was ...

We chose this Emerald cruise (Sensations of Lyon & Provence) as it it covered the area we wanted to travel in France by river and fitted in perfectly with our extended vacation either side of the cruise. This was our first cruise, we had heard and read great reviews, but it was even better than we could have imagined. The entire crew were fabulous, so courteous, friendly and helpful right from ...

We chose Azzurra as it is a small new ship, with 100 passengers. The ship was stunning, with plenty of space so it never felt crowded. Our balcony suite was lovely, with plenty of storage, good design and very comfortable. The staff onboard were absolutely fantastic - always with a big smile and happy to help with everything. We loved the choice of food and wine - many reflecting the local ...

I was invited by some friends who had cruised with Emerald on prior trips. There were 12 of us cruising together. The ship was well appointed, leaving nothing extra to want. The crew is what really made this trip special. When our time onboard was over, I felt like I was leaving friends behind. The captain, hotel manager, restaurant manager and the rest of the crew were top-notch. The ...

My husband and I do a lot of cruising, and this was a most enjoyable cruise! The staff were exceptional, the ship was incredible. This is the smallest ship we have been on, only 100 passengers and we loved it. It was like one big happy family. The pool area is incredible, the water toys were available at at least 3 ports on a 7 day journey. There was so much thought that went in to the ...

This was our first river cruise and we will definitely be sampling other Emerald river cruises after such a wonderful experience! Everything was delightful, from the spacious and well-maintained cabin, the attentive and friendly staff, the delectable food, the knowledgeable and entertaining tour guides, the extensive selection of extra activities, and a fabulous ship with great facilities. And ...

Our reason for taking this cruise was our previous experiences with the company, but mainly the Itinerary. Having sailed with Emerald twice before we were confident that we we would be happy with the boat, the accommodation and the food. Knowing that the food and wine is sourced locally and being fans of French cuisine and wines, ultimately we were not disappointed, with one of the highlights ...

My husband and I chose this particular cruise because of the itinerary, we were not disappointed. Each place we visited had something of interest for us. There was a good choice of excursions and, in most cases we chose ‘active’. We cycled, hiked and went canoeing. We also did most of the guided tours and the guides were exceptional, a special mention for Pierre, our guide in Vivier, who was so ...

It was recommended by a friend and it did not disappoint. The staff were all brilliant, especially the restaurant staff. Everyone aimed to please with smiling faces. The cabins were well maintained, the food was excellent. We celebrated a birthday while on board and we were treated very special and met our request. The food was excellent with good choices daily. There was more alcohol ...
