Best River Cruise Line for Value

Sail the iconic rivers of Europe in style The rivers of Europe have long been the lifeblood of the communities that call them home. As they weave through the continent, they connect cities and landscapes with an allure simply unachievable with any other mode of transport. Our collection of itineraries along the Rhine, Main, Danube, Moselle, Rhône, Saône and Douro, offer an insight into the history, culture and tradition of each magnificent waterway, during thoughtfully crafted adventures designed by our expert journey planners. What were once integral trade routes are now gateways to cultural enlightenment, to be navigated in style on board an Emerald Waterways Star-Ship.

Saône River An eastern tributary of the Rhône, it flows through Burgundy before meeting the larger river at Lyon. ■ Y ou’ll notice historically important churches and famed vineyards which have prospered from the water’s close proximity. ■ A long its banks, Chalon-sur-Saône’s architectural heritage is dominated by the cathedral and its old timber-framed houses, while being excellently located near the Burgundy wine-making region.

Rhône River Beginning its journey in the Swiss Alps, the Rhône flows through the heart of France’s gastronomic centre towards the Mediterranean Sea. ■ M ore than 6,000 wine-growing properties in the Rhône Valley produce, distribute and export world-class wines globally. ■ T he capital of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, Lyon excels at every level. A UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, excellent cuisine, fine wine and iconic architecture adorn the water’s banks, as it curves elegantly through the centre.

Avignon Arles

Rhine River Flowing from the Alps to the North Sea, the Rhine has long been a major trade route and is considered pivotal in the industrialisation of Europe. ■ T he source of the Rhine is in Switzerland’s Lake Toma, situated 2,340 metres above sea level. ■ T he UNESCO World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge is approximately a 60-kilometre river valley stretching between Koblenz and Bingen in Germany. Exemplifying Mother Nature’s spectacular feats, vineyards and fairytale castles dot the green landscape.

Moselle River As it flows through France and Germany, castles tower over wine villages, where some of the best Rieslings grow. ■ It is believed that the Romans planted the first vineyards along the river. ■ Along the Moselle Valley, you’ll spot terraced vineyards as they rise up from the water’s edge, producing some of the best vintages. Fairytale castles and quaint medieval settlements make the region a must-see. Amsterdam NETHERLANDS

Life on the river A river cruise in Europe provides the most captivating passage through the history of this diverse continent. As you cruise along some of Europe’s most iconic waterways, not only will you witness Mother Nature at her finest, but also engineering at its most impressive.

What is a lock? Europe’s waterways are not just distinctive because of their history, their terrain can make navigation more challenging, which is why water locks – essentially an elevator with which ships can be raised or lowered to overcome the variations in water level – were designed.

Top gate opened

Upper level Ship enters the lock

Our Star-Ships have been engineered with locks in mind, designed to fit perfectly with inches to spare. Your captain is trained for such manoeuvres, but sometimes water levels don’t cooperate and, on occasions, this can lead to lock closures or difficulties passing under bridges when water levels are too high or too low. We always have a plan in place to handle navigation issues in a timely and efficient manner, with minimal disruption to your journey. 24

The Main-Danube Canal itself boasts 16 locks, some as deep as 30 metres and reaching a height of over 406 metres.

Bridges Throughout the cruise, we will sail under many different styles of bridges. On such days, we may need to close the Sun Deck for guest safety. Our crew will lower the railings and the captain’s wheelhouse will be mechanically dropped to allow the Star-Ship safe navigation. But, with plentiful public spaces available throughout our Star-Ships, you’ll always have somewhere to enjoy river views.

Double-docking

Emerald Radiance, Porto Bridge

River cruising takes you right into the heart of different destinations. In certain locations docking space may be limited and you may find that, overnight, your ship has docked next to another ship. This is all part of the river cruising experience and drawing your curtains at night is advised. You’ll also get a glimpse of your neighbouring ship as you walk through to embark or disembark.

River cruise cover

Double-docking

We’ve created our river cruise cover to give you peace-of-mind should unforeseen circumstances occur. At no extra cost, we’ll cover you for any delays or cancellations that happen as a result of weather, natural disasters, mechanical breakdowns or strikes. (For more information, see page 142). evergreentours. com.au/general/river-cruise-cover

Our commitment to your health and safety The Emerald Waterways team are working closely with Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and government health agencies to implement a full range of measures for the health and safety of our valued guests and crew. In preparation for the resumption of our river cruise operations, we will ensure compliance with the strict industry protocols and for further information on these policies, please visit evergreentours.com.au/assurance

Danube River The international river Having been the muse for decades of artistic legacy, the majesty of the Danube is no myth. Winding through 10 of Europe’s most breath-taking countries, it encompasses four capital cities, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade and Bratislava, all of which are must-see pit stops.

From Germany’s Black Forest, stretching 2,870 kilometres east towards the Danube Delta and into the Black Sea, this inspirational waterway has seen communities, dating as far back as the Neolithic Age, settle along its banks.

Great for architecture enthusiasts

Centuries of historical intrigue are detailed upon visits to imposing fortresses, beautifully preserved palaces and ancient castles, as well as vibrant cities and peaceful riverbank villages. Step back in time and walk in the footsteps of the former residents who have helped shape the culture. Whether you’re sailing on board the Emerald Star, Sky, Dawn, Sun, Destiny or Luna, you'll be treated to stylish staterooms and suites, an indoor heated pool, cinema and Sun Deck, to name just a few of the ship’s innovative features.

The past is memorialised at every stop along the Danube, as some of Europe’s most exquisite monuments prove they’ve been built to stand the test of time. Architecture enthusiasts will be in awe of each city’s diversity, from the blend of Gothic and Renaissance Revival showcased by Budapest’s Parliament Building, to the New Baroque of Vienna’s Burgtheater, pictured above.

For details of availability and our latest offers visit evergreentours.com.au

“What an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish from the initial booking procedure and the administration behind it to the cruise itself. Everything you could think of was taken care of. The whole experience was brilliant and we cannot wait to book another.” Ivan Page

Passau

Vienna

Budapest

In southeast Germany on the border of Austria, Passau is located at the confluence of the Danube, Ilz and Inn rivers. Aptly nicknamed the ‘Three Rivers City’, it is overlooked by the spectacular 13th century Veste Oberhaus, home to a museum, youth hostel and restaurant, as well as an open-air theatre since 1934. The Old Town is recognised for its beautiful Baroque architecture, namely St. Stephen’s Cathedral with its onion-domed towers and an organ boasting over 17,000 pipes.

Renowned for its coffee shop culture and cosy wine taverns, the Austrian capital has made a name for itself as the home of many a renowned composer. Strauss, Mozart and Beethoven, as well as symbolist painter Gustav Klimt and the ‘father of psychoanalysis’ Sigmund Freud, have all fallen for its charm. Meander the streets, lined with stunning Baroque buildings and monuments of an Imperial past, now coexisting with the contemporary for a truly unique skyline.

Formerly two separate cities, divided by the Danube, Buda on the west and Pest on the east certainly possess their own personalities. Buda’s narrow, winding streets and steep hills are home to the beautiful former Habsburg Palace and views from the Fisherman’s Bastion unveil the magnificent Parliament Building. A walk over the iconic Chain Bridge to Pest presents a mixture of bustling bars, cafés and restaurants, as well as thermal spas, all of which are the place to be of an evening.

Rhine, Main & Moselle Rivers The legendary rivers A mighty river by anyone’s standards, the Rhine flows through six countries and has served as a link between the north and south of Europe since the Romans. The Main River is considered one of its major tributaries, while the ‘romantic’ Moselle meets it in Koblenz.

Starting its life in the Swiss Alps, this exceptional waterway has long functioned as a border between the fairytale-like landscapes of western Germany and France’s Alsace. It meanders through steep vine-clad hillsides, past age-old castles and medieval towns, until it reaches the Netherlands, ending its journey in the North Sea. Reaching over 760 miles, this magical river picks up a number of major cities along the way. Quirky and enigmatic Amsterdam is the first stop on many of our Rhine, Main and Moselle river cruise itineraries, while Basel, Strasbourg and Cologne, all call its banks home. Once trading posts, they have since flourished into the major cities they are today. You’ll experience fascinating sights as you sail through the ‘heart of Europe’ where rich history, inimitable landscapes and proud cultures have thrived for years, and will do so for many more. 76

Great for history buffs

As you journey to some of Europe’s oldest settlements, stories of former monarchs, legends of wicked rock formations and vineyards that have been producing some of the continent’s best wines for centuries, come to life. Museums pay homage to decades of culture and the modern world respects its elder counterparts. The perfect route for history buffs, whether architecture, art, music or science is your passion.

Rüdesheim

Koblenz

The Dutch capital may be small, but it certainly packs a lot of personality. Recognised for its artistic heritage and postcard-worthy narrow terraced houses with gabled facades, the romantic cobbled streets and winding canal system reminds you of a simpler time. An eclectic museum district attracts fans of history, art, science and culture, while visits to cosy coffee shops, unique bars and excellent restaurants can be navigated easily by bicycle or along the central waterways.

In Germany’s Rhine region, the quaint town of Rüdesheim is surrounded by soaring hills lathered in Riesling producing vineyards. Ancient fortresses and monuments from the country’s past speckle the landscape, beneath which snug wine bars and taverns offer cups of Rüdesheimer coffee or glasses of regional wine. A visit to Siegfried’s Mechanical Musical Instrument Museum showcases three centuries of musical instruments, from self-playing music boxes to a gigantic piano-orchestrion.

At over 2,000 years old, Koblenz is one of Germany’s oldest cities. Rich in culture, it features museums that celebrate everything from 20th century French art to delightful winding streets. Ancient history is brought to life at the spectacular Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The secondlargest preserved fortress in Europe, it dates back to the year 1000 and houses Landesmuseum Koblenz, the Ehrenmal des Heeres army monument and the Koblenz youth hostel.

Lyon

Avignon

Arles

Widely considered the world’s gastronomic capital, Lyon has risen to rival Nice and Strasbourg as France’s second city. Fine restaurants promise exquisite food, while local bouchons showcase authentic dishes in cosy quarters while tea rooms and coffee shops satisfy the sweet tooth. The newly excavated remains of the Roman city of Lugdunum, evoke memories of former rule and, the iconic white stone of the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière offers some of the best views of the city.

In France’s stunning Provençal region on the left bank of the Rhône River, Avignon is brimming with history and beauty. At the city’s heart, the Place de l’Horloge boasts the 19th century city hall and the municipal theatre, a common meeting place for locals. The equally as impressive Place du Palais encompasses three of the city’s main attractions. The Palais des Papes, the largest Gothic palace in the world, the Hotel des Monnaies, and the Rocher des Doms, providing unrivalled views of the river and Le Pont D’Avignon.

Arles was once France’s largest city and the Provincial capital of Ancient Rome, reminders of which remain in the form of the amphitheatre, built in 90 AD. Now a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, it was originally built to hold 20,000 as the setting for centuries of battles, chariot races and performances. The city has been known to inspire artists, such as Van Gogh, who chose the city as his home for a year, during which he created much, driven by his curiosity of the inspiring surroundings.

Christmas Markets of Europe An extra special treat awaits you on our Christmas Markets Cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. Celebrate the festive season in style as we welcome you aboard. The Danube at Christmas is truly a sight to see.

One of many festive traditions across Europe's Christmas markets include the magnificant Christmas tree, lit up in all its glory, along with a Nativity scene and joyful singing and dancing. Full of charm, these markets are truly a treat for all the senses. Starting in late November and early December we offer the opportunity to embark on your very own Christmas-time adventure with Emerald Waterways, and to explore the Christmas markets of Europe with our specially tailored itineraries over five, eight or fifteen days, offering the opportunity to experience different vibrant festive celebrations in several cities.

134

Nuremberg's Christmas Market is one of Germany's oldest and most famous Christmas fairs. The pre-Christmas event on Nuremberg's Main Market Square dates back to the mid-16th century. In the wooden booths, one finds traditional, often handmade Christmas decorations and sweet treats such as gingerbread and Spekulatius almond cookies.

For details of availability and our latest offers visit evergreentours.com.au

“ The cruise exceeded our expectations. We would definitely cruise with Emerald Waterways again” L. Woodgate

Rüdesheim

Regensburg

The Christmas market in Rüdesheim brings a distinctly festive feel to the romantic old quarter and its popular Drosselgasse lane. Europe’s biggest Nativity scene can also be found in Rüdesheim with life-size figures which can be admired on the market square. An absolute must do at the Rüdesheim Christmas Market is to try some deliciously made Rüdesheim Coffee, which is exclusively made with locally distilled Asbach Uralt Brandy, whipped cream.

Regensburg, located in the heart of Bavaria is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The city’s historic district is regarded as a medieval landmark, due to the fact that it remained unharmed during World War II and was awarded World Cultural Heritage status by UNESCO in 2006. One of the most impressive buildings is the “St. Emmeram Castle”, which is the residence of the world famous aristocratic “Thurn und Taxis” family.

Vienna Officially one of Europe’s most spectacular Christmas markets, the Wiener Weihnachtstraum spreads loads of charms. Located between neogothic City Hall and famous Burgtheater, each of the almost 200 wooden huts offers a piece of seasonal magic: from sparkling Christmas baubles to hand crafted toys, jewellry, decorations, food and drink.

You will also have time to explore the wonderful Christmas Market In the city center

Welcome to Miltenberg. This postcard-worthy town can be found set against a lush backdrop created by the Odenwald forest. Christmastime swathes the area with festive cheer, and decorations and colourful window displays as far as the eye can see are all illuminated at dusk by twinkling fairylights. Miltenberg is home to one of the oldest pubs in Germany, and its delightful boutique market features stalls full of local arts, crafts and delightful treats. Perhaps try an apple streusel kuchen during your time here, a type of apple crumb cake that the area is famous for.

Amsterdam is a wonderful destination year-round, but during the Christmas period the entire city sparkles with fairylights and Christmas cheer. Snow blankets the narrowcobbled streets and the Dutch indulge on oliebollen and appelbeignets, deep fried sweets that can be purchased from stalls that look like traditional alpine huts in one of Amsterdam’s many Christmas markets.

We appreciate that you’ve invested a lot in your holiday and want to ensure your complete peace-of-mind when travelling with us. This river cruise cover is designed to give you comfort and assurance in the event of any unforeseen or unusual circumstances which may prevent you from cruising, as opposed to those which may cause minor delays or deviations.

Helpful information Water levels

Mobility

Cruise itineraries may be varied due to high or low water levels, flooding, lock closures, unscheduled vessel maintenance or for any other circumstances beyond our control. If we’re unable to continue sailing certain rivers due to water level problems, we’ll do everything we can to minimise the impact it has on your holiday and make alternative arrangements for the rest of the itinerary. This could mean arranging coach transfers, organising ship swaps, providing hotel accommodation or finding alternative attractions to visit – all of which are weather dependent.

Emerald Waterways welcomes disabled guests but wishes all guests to understand that limitations could exist on board and during shore excursions. The lifts on our ships service three out of four decks, with access to the Sun Deck only possible using stairs. Under appropriate circumstances guests are welcome to use collapsible wheelchairs on board. Many tours are conducted from coaches, so guests need to be able to climb up and down the stairs to board. Some shore excursions may require movement over cobblestones or up and down stairs; accordingly, guests with limited mobility will require the services of a responsible companion to be travelling with them, since crew availability is limited. If you have any medical, physical or other special needs, please contact our reservations department for further information.

Sun Deck The Sun Deck operational hours may be limited due to the passage through low bridges or other restrictions by local authorities. This may mean that the deck is completely closed for a period of sailing time on certain rivers.

Double Docking In popular ports we will on occasion be required to dock next to other ships, which may mean accessing the shore via the Sun Deck, requiring you to ascend and descend stairs, this will not prevent you leaving the ship or your ability to get on and off.

Health & Vaccinations Health facilities, hygiene and disease risks vary worldwide. To ensure your safety throughout your cruise, seek advice regarding your specific health requirements as early as possible. Further information can be found on the Smart Traveller website ww.smarttraveller.gov.au

Travel Insurance We strongly advise you to take out adequate and appropriate travel insurance which includes cover against loss of deposit or cancellation fees. Please read your policy details carefully and take them with you on your cruise. It’s your responsibility to ensure that the cover you purchase is suitable and adequate for your needs and the cost of the holiday.

On-board currency On board your ship, any accounts can be paid in cash in Euros or by credit or debit card.

Clothing We recommend casual and comfortable clothing – for sightseeing and walking tours you’ll need comfortable shoes. For the winter months, you’ll need a warm coat, gloves and water-resistant footwear. Dinner is an informal affair; relaxed evening wear is perfect. On certain evenings such as the Welcome and Farewell Dinners, you might like to dress up.

Wi-Fi Wi-Fi connection availability and speed will vary depending on where the ship is positioned and the number of users, Wi-Fi can be slow to use and there may be occasions when no signal is available.

Plug sockets and voltage On-board electricity is 220v and a European plug adaptor will be needed to use electrical items. All rooms have a hair dryer.
