Line concurrently prepares to welcome its newest river ship – Emerald Luna – in 2021

 

Boston, MA (August 2020) – In celebration of their seventh anniversary sailing the rivers of Europe, Emerald Waterways is offering half off cabin upgrades on all 2021 European River Cruises, combinable with the current promotion for $2,000 per couple discount or free airfare. Prospective guests can choose from a wide variety of itineraries along the popular Danube, Rhine, Main and Moselle rivers in central Europe; the Rhone and Saône rivers through Burgundy and Provence; and the Douro river in the heart of Portugal.

 

Guests booking any 2021 European sailing will receive 50% off cabin upgrades—up to and including Category A Panorama Balcony Suite—when paying in full at time of booking, a value of $625 per person. This anniversary offer is combinable with the current promotion offering guests their choice of either $2,000 per couple off the cost of the sailing, or free round trip air to Europe. Additionally, all bookings include a complimentary Deposit Protection Plan, allowing guests to book with confidence in the event plans change, along with a reduced deposit amount of $250 per person. Offer on both deals expires August 31, 2020.

 

Seven years ago, English cultural icon and entertainer Twiggy christened Emerald Waterways’ first Star-Ship, Emerald Sky. Today, the line has grown to seven branded Star-Ships currently sailing the river of Europe, with the newest addition to fleet, Emerald Luna, set to sail in spring 2021. The 180-guest vessel promises all the line’s innovative and contemporary Star-Ship features including the signature indoor heated pool that seamlessly transforms into an evening cinema, the panoramic Sun Deck and beautifully appointed suites and staterooms.

 

Emerald Cruises is the parent brand of Emerald Waterways and the newly formed Emerald Yacht Cruises. The Emerald Azzurra, the first yacht to launch under the Emerald Yacht Cruises brand, is a 100-guest super yacht that will ply the warm waters of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Red seas. Emerald Waterways features nine branded Star-Ships offering river sailings in Europe and on the Mekong, as well as the chartered river ship along the Volga River in Russia (MS Nizhny Novgorod). The brand offers contemporary deluxe ships, outstanding service and an incredibly inclusive pricing plan that has won them the honor of being named Best River Cruise Line for Value by the Cruise Critic Editors’ Choice Awards for five years running.
