Our award-winning Star-Ships

Pool & Evening Cinema

Located on the Horizon Deck at the back of the majority of our Star-Ships†, you can enjoy a leisurely swim as a cooling river breeze from the retractable roof and floor-to-ceiling views provide the perfect setting. On selected evenings, this lovely space is transformed into an evening cinema and, of course, complimentary popcorn will be yours to graze on.

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

Wellness Area

We want you to return home from your river cruise, not only full of tales to tell, but feeling relaxed and rested. With that in mind, our Wellness Area features a well-equipped gym, for those who want to maintain their fitness regime. And enjoy a range of spa treatments# for that much-needed ‘me’ time. Spoil yourself with a massage, facial, new hairstyle or beard trim.

#Available at additional cost.

Suites & Staterooms

Every one of our suite and stateroom categories are of a standard that you would expect from a world-class hotel. All suites feature their own private balcony, complete with an all-weather system, enabling you to admire the views in complete comfort, while our staterooms provide picture windows, inviting in the natural light. They all boast a wealth of sumptuous amenities, from plush toiletries and a revitalising shower, to a queen-size or twin hotel-style bed, flat screen HD TV and infotainment system and free Wi-Fi.

Reflections Restaurant

On the Vista Deck, you’ll find the Reflections Restaurant, the centre point of our on board dining experience. Accommodating tables of two to ten, floor-to-ceiling windows present excellent views of the river, while the menu celebrates seasonal and regional flavours. Start your days with a wonderful selection of breakfast options, refuel for the afternoon with a delicious lunch, and look forward to a superb evening meal, paired with complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks.

Horizon Bar & Lounge and The Terrace

A spacious and contemporary meeting place at any time of the day, get comfortable on the plush seating and treat yourself to a glass of local wine, beer or perhaps a cup of tea or coffee. The perfect setting for catching up on the day’s events and enjoying authentic entertainment on selected evenings. The Terrace is situated at the fore of our Star-Ships, an indoor and outdoor space separated by floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The perfect spot to take full advantage of the passing views, or enjoy a light breakfast or lunch.

Sun Deck

Head to the top of our Star-Ships to enjoy the best views of the river from the spacious Sun Deck. An open area, where you can bask in the sunshine or enjoy a crisp morning from your deck chair. Try your hand at a game of noughts and crosses, challenge a fellow guest to some putting or simply relax with a drink.

If you’re sailing Portugal’s Douro River on board Emerald Radiance, you will be able to relax in the heated spa-style Serenity Pool, as you make the most of the golden Portuguese sun as we sail.

Our award-winning Star-Ships

Carefully designed to honour the beauty of some of the world’s most beloved waterways, our award-winning Star-Ships cut a chic figure on the rivers of Europe. Enjoy a small ship cruising experience as comfort and innovation combine across our custom-built fleet, where every finishing touch and elegant flourish on board our floating boutique hotels has been considered to provide unrivalled comfort.

You’ll be welcomed on arrival by the tasteful and modern décor of our three-tiered atrium as it opens up the centre of the Star-Ship, allowing natural light to pour in and illuminate the interior.

Elegant furnishings, modern art and mirrored walls are a celebration of light and space, something echoed throughout every one of our Star-Ships. From the thoughtful design of our indulgent suites and staterooms, complete with high gloss furnishings and plush carpets underfoot, to our dining venues and public areas.

Accommodating between just 112 and 180 guests at any time, you’ll appreciate the sense of space on board our fleet of Star-Ships. Head to the spacious Sun Deck where a selection of activities will keep you entertained as we sail Europe’s glorious rivers.

Most of our Star-Ships feature an indoor pool which innovatively transforms into a cinema by night†. Situated at the back of the Star-Ship, floor-to-ceiling windows and a retractable roof welcome in a cooling breeze, for a restful place to spend your day.

And, as night falls, this multifunctional space transforms into a cosy cinema, in time for the film to start.

Dine with friends in the spacious Reflections Restaurant, as a range of tables accommodate large or intimate dinners and simple, sophisticated décor accompanies each delectable meal.

Floor-to-ceiling windows in the Horizon Bar & Lounge provide the perfect vantage point to enjoy the passing views, and plush sofas, scattered with stylish cushions, have been selected for your comfort, so you can make yourself at home.
