An exciting new chapter in Emerald Cruises’ stellar journey begins with the introduction of Emerald Astra, complementing our multiple award-winning European fl eet.
Primed to set sail for the 2026 season, Emerald Astra will join our eight other luxury Star-Ships that cruise through the heart of central and eastern Europe, France and Portugal, and feature Emerald Cruises’ inspiring collection of handcrafted itineraries.
From ancient Greek and Latin origins, the word Astra translates as ‘Star,’ and Emerald Astra promises to be a true shining star amongst our stylish boutique Star-Ships — the seventh to sail the iconic Rhine, Main and Danube rivers.
Unveiling a sleek exterior and some unique enhancements and features, on board Emerald Astra you’ll also enjoy Emerald River Cruises’ signature favorites. These include innovative facilities like the pool which magically transforms into an evening cinema, world-class amenities and contemporary design and décor.
In the same size and design as our other European Star-Ships sailing the Rhine, Main and Danube, Emerald Astra will also carry no more than 180 guests on board, ensuring you’ll revel in Emerald Cruises’ intimate cruising lifestyle and elevated level of personal service and comfort.
Celebrating a decade of extraordinary success, Emerald Astra is part of the beautiful evolution of Emerald River Cruises. Ever-evolving, our entire fl eet of European Star-Ships that sail all seven featured rivers — the Rhine, Main, Danube, Moselle, Rhône, Saône and Douro — will undergo a refresh with a new upgrade and enhancement program.
As you cruise these legendary waterways, look forward to stunning furnishings and artworks, technological innovations, additional expansive spaces and so much more.
Whether you choose to embark on Emerald Astra in 2026, or any one of Emerald Cruises much-loved Star-Ships, your magical river cruise through this wondrous continent now o ers an even more unforgettable journey.
