Innovation meets relaxation

There’s more to our Star-Ships than meets the eye. Designed to push the boundaries of river cruising, you’ll discover the latest innovations, from the Sun Deck at the top to the Riviera Deck at the bottom. Inspiring with every little detail, we’ve even installed the latest Bose® technology, providing excellent quality sound throughout our communal areas.

Sun Deck Wellness Area

Sun Deck

Located on the top deck of our Star-Ships, head to the Sun Deck* for panoramic rooftop views of the surrounding landscape. Feel the breeze as we navigate our way through the heart of Europe’s most spectacular towns and cities, observing from the comfort of your deckchair or sun-lounger.

Stretch your legs on the walking track, challenge a fellow guest to some friendly competition in the games area†, and even enjoy a weekly BBQ prepared by our talented chefs.

*Due to safety, the Sun Deck will be closed when travelling under low bridges.

Fitness & wellness

Your overall wellness is our priority, and we want you to return home feeling rested and relaxed. Our on board Wellness Area is home to a well-equipped gym, perfect for keeping up with any existing exercise regimes. And what could be better than following a workout or busy day onshore with an invigorating massage or facial in our spa#? Indulge in a little ‘me’ time as you treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure ready for one of our gala dinners.

#Spa treatments available at an additional cost.

Watch a film in our on board cinema† Emerald Radiance spa-style Serenity Pool

Pool by day, cinema by night†

Floor-to-ceiling windows welcome in the surrounding landscape, flooding this sanctuary of calm with light. The retractable roof opens to welcome in the revitalising fresh river air as you take a dip in the heated pool, enjoying ‘endless swims’ with the propulsive current. Relax on the lounge chairs on the decking area while you read a book. Then, on selected evenings, as the floor rises through the pool, the screen is lowered and the popcorn prepared for a selection of films and concerts to be enjoyed from the comfort of our plush chairs.

Serenity Pool

Emerald Radiance, sailing Portugal’s Douro River, has been custom designed for a warmer climate. The indoor pool has been replaced with a spa-style heated Serenity Pool located on the Sun Deck. A truly idyllic setting from which to make the most of the river breeze as you bask in the golden Portuguese sun, and, on movie evenings, join us to watch a film under the stars.

†Emerald Radiance on the Douro River does not have an indoor pool/cinema, a putting green or games area, instead there is a spa-style Serenity Pool on the Sun Deck.
