Emerald Waterways' brand new Emerald 'Star Ships', have made their debut voyages and have received high marks from guests. You'll enjoy all the same great features, including an open air system in the balcony suites and the indoor/ outdoor pool area, that make the "Star Ships" the 2014 Cruise Critic Editors' Pick award winners for best new river ships.

No matter which river cruise you choose, all your meals onboard the ship; beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner; on-shore excursions and touring; a special selection of EmeraldPLUS experiences; all travel and transfers from selected airports; and all tipping are included in the price. It's what's called 'Exceptional Emerald Value'.

Relax in the fresh air while enjoying a light lunch and a glass of wine al-fresco on The Terrace. Enjoy insightful excursions in every port at no extra cost and tipping is taken care of so you don't have to think about it. You wouldn't expect all this from a river cruise, but on an Emerald Waterways river cruise, you can look forward to it.
