Emerald France Cruise Reviews

Emerald was recommended by friends. The timing of this cruise fit our schedule and we wanted to experience south of France. We very much enjoyed the cruise! The ship was modern and immaculate. The crew was amazing in their performance and demeanor. The food was exceptional! We enjoyed all the included tours and several of the optional (extra cost) ones. Our tour guides and excursion ...

I originally booked this cruise in 2019 for October 2020 for my husband and I to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. We ended up actually taking it in October 2022 for our 20th, which was a lovely way to celebrate. We had a wonderful time and were really impressed by Emerald, the Liberte, and the crew. I'll break this down into separate categories below. Passengers. The passengers were ...

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 had been planning a Rhine River cruise for years, but the pandemic pushed it off for a couple of years, so we were very excited to be finally able to embark on our first river cruise. The ship was lovely, very clean, nicely appointed stateroom with an exceptional amount of storage space, and a washroom that was just big enough. The shower was actually quite large, considering the size of the ...

What's not to love about a Rhone river cruise. Emerald does it in style. Everything about this cruise makes it special. There is at least one included activity per day and you see every port. The food is delicious, varying and always an occasion. Top of it all is the staff. On our particular cruise there were only 96 passengers and a crew of 47. NO where else can you get that kind of attention to ...

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 ...

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 ...

I chose this cruise because it was to be our first cruising experience and I wanted to get it absolutely right.I completely landed on my feet as you could choose no better company to look after you so well.The planning is second to none,and they genuinely are concerned about your welfare.The little touches that they add to the cruise are terrific and go a long way to the enjoyment of the port ...

We chose this cruise as we were keen to try Provence and we were not disappointed. After two years of cancelled holidays and uncertain times, this cruise was a perfect return to river cruising. From the Captain, who was so approachable and turned his hand to anything, to the delightful cabin steward who came twice a day, every member of staff was welcoming, friendly and efficient. They all ...
