Proving that the journey is every bit as important as the destination, every Star-Ship in the Emerald Cruises fleet promises low guest numbers and an incredible selection of amenities, expertly designed to guarantee complete comfort and luxury. Most of our European Star-Ships feature an on board pool with retractable roof, providing a restful space for guests to spend their day. This innovative space transforms by night into a cinema showing classics and blockbusters throughout the cruise. 1
Located on the Horizon Deck at the back of the majority of our Star-Ships†, you can enjoy a leisurely swim as a cooling river breeze from the retractable roof and floor-to-ceiling views provide the perfect setting. On selected evenings, this lovely space is transformed into an evening cinema and, of course, complimentary popcorn will be yours to graze on.

We want you to return home from your river cruise, not only full of tales to tell, but feeling relaxed and rested. With that in mind, our Wellness Area features a well-equipped gym, for those who want to maintain their fitness regime. And enjoy a range of spa treatments for that much-needed ‘me’ time. Spoil yourself with a massage, facial, new hairstyle or beard trim.
Every one of our suite and stateroom categories are of a standard that you would expect from a world-class hotel. All suites feature their own private balcony, complete with an all-weather system, enabling you to admire the views in complete comfort, while our staterooms provide picture windows, inviting in the natural light.

On board Emerald Harmony, custom-built to sail the Mekong, the Sun and Pool decks are remarkable places to unwind, as guests take a refreshing dip, enjoy an al fresco drink and take shade from the sun. Authentic dark wooden tones, muted colours and local art work adorn the walls of the Lotus Lounge, situated on the Vista Deck, perfectly positioned to observe as the ship docks in the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, the only vessel of its type to do so.
On the Vista Deck, you’ll find the Reflections Restaurant, the centre point of our on board dining experience. Accommodating tables of two to ten, floor-to-ceiling windows present excellent views of the river, while the menu celebrates seasonal and regional flavours.
A spacious and contemporary meeting place at any time of the day, get comfortable on the plush seating and treat yourself to a glass of local wine, beer or perhaps a cup of tea or coffee. The Terrace is situated at the fore of our Star-Ships, an indoor and outdoor space separated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Head to the top of our Star-Ships to enjoy the best views of the river from the spacious Sun Deck. An open area, where you can bask in the sunshine or enjoy a crisp morning from your deck chair. Try your hand at a game of noughts and crosses, challenge a fellow guest to some putting or simply relax with a drink.
An Emerald Cruises river cruise provides the perfect platform for new experiences. Every port of call introduces a wealth of culture and an excursion almost every day brings the most fascinating destinations to life.
Explore up to five European countries or navigate the Mekong between Vietnam and Cambodia, enjoying visits to UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, taking part in special EmeraldPLUS experiences and embarking on a selection of EmeraldACTIVE excursions.

With a different port of call almost every day, the Emerald Cruises Journey Planners have handpicked an array of diverse shore excursions designed to introduce your guests to each destination in detail.
