Large Groups & Private Charters

Larger groups also have the option to charter an entire ship. Emerald Cruises European Star-Ships range from 112 guests to 180 guests so we can cover all types of large groups and your group can still have a small ship experience.

Being part of the global Scenic Group, we have access and experience with group airfares, ground transportation and pre/post cruise accommodation. Whether for special interest, sporting events, meetings, incentives or corporate events, your group will enjoy a private cruise, exclusively customised to suit your groups interests, abilities and budget.
