EmeraldDISCOVERY

An Emerald Cruises river cruise invites you on an adventure through culture and history, where an excursion almost every day provides an in-depth exploration of each wonderful port. Our EmeraldDISCOVERY programme ensures you see the best of each destination. With excursions included almost daily, our itineraries offer guided tours through towns and cities with visits to UNESCO World Heritage-listed sites, monuments and museums. Our EmeraldPLUS experiences are a collection of extra-special excursions designed to immerse you in the heart of local life with fascinating insights into authentic customs and traditions of a village, town or city. Take part in exclusive social events with locals as they invite you into their homes, tour significant landmarks and enjoy on board performances and workshops. Our EmeraldACTIVE programme is designed for guests who like things to move at a slightly faster pace. Add another dimension to your cruise as you embark on guided bike rides, hikes through picturesque vineyards and enjoy on board classes, such as yoga and Pilates, all organised by our activity managers.

Included Excursions

Each one of our incredible itineraries offers an array of diverse and insightful excursions handpicked by our journey planners.

With the assistance of your personal audio system, you’ll never have to worry about missing any of your guides insightful commentary. Your headset will clearly pick up their voice, so you can learn about Baden-Baden’s Roman spas as you wander its streets or take a guided hike to Altes Schlosshear.

EmeraldPLUS

Designed to give our guests a different point of view on our destinations, our EmeraldPLUS programme provides you with unforgettable experiences that go beyond that of the ordinary traveller. Seeking out rare sights and hidden gems, these extra-special excursions and events immerse you in local life, helping you uncover places you may not have discovered without the guidance of a local expert. Immerse yourself into the heart of the Slovakian capital, Bratislava, joining a family in their home for coffee and cake. During a visit to Strasbourg, discover the city’s charm via its quaint waterways, embarking on a traditional canal boat tour.

EmeraldACTIVE

Designed for guests seeking a more active experience, our EmeraldACTIVE excursions and activities are an exciting way to see a destination from another perspective. Head onshore and join guided hikes, bicycle rides and, on selected cruises, join our on board activity manager for a yoga class or an aqua aerobics session in the pool – or if you prefer to continue your own fitness regime, our on board gym is there to meet your every need. Join a guided bicycle tour to uncover the Waterland area of Amsterdam or embark on a guided hike through the forest to Avala Tower when visiting Belgrade.
