Innovation meets relaxation

Carefully crafted down to the finest of details, the interior spaces of our European Star-Ships are personal sanctuaries of comfort, wellness, and repose. Boundary-pushing design compliments the relaxing ambience of each carefully-created on board space. Your perfect floating retreat is imbued with a calming serenity. Each of the ship’s environments carries a boutique and contemporary atmosphere, from the personal oasis of your suite or stateroom to the warm sociability of the communal areas.

Sun Deck

Bathing in the warm European sunlight, head to the top deck of our Star-Ships for panoramic rooftop views of the surrounding landscape. Lined with deckchairs and sun-loungers, there is no better way to relax and soak up the incredible surrounds unfurling before you. 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.

*Games vary by Star-Ship. Due to safety, the Sun Deck will be closed when travelling under low bridges. †Our weekly BBQ is weather-dependent.

By day: a relaxing space to take a leisurely dip, enjoying the revitalising river breeze from the retractable roof. By night: a cleverly transformed cosy evening cinema, complete with complimentary popcorn. In addition to screenings of contemporary and classic films, on selective evenings, the space becomes Riverside Lounge, a blissful space to enjoy the river views, read a book, or socialise with fellow guests in the ambience of quiet, calming music and soft, subdued lighting.

Serenity Pool

Custom designed for warmer climes, Emerald Radiance, sailing Portugal’s Douro River, is home to the Serenity Pool. On Emerald Radiance, the indoor pool is replaced by the heated spa-style Serenity Pool. An idyllic setting to bask in the rays of the Portuguese sun, and marvel at the geography of the Douro. On movie evenings, films are screened here beneath a blanket of stars.

Fitness & wellness

Cater to mind, body, and spirit and return from onshore visits relaxed and revitalised. Enjoy a spa treatment, available at an additional cost; our highly-skilled masseurs will treat you with an invigorating massage or facial. Should you prefer to keep active, our well-equipped gym houses all the equipment needed to keep up with your exercise regimes.

†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.
