Discover some of Europe’s most treasured destinations on a Great Cruise Escape with us.

The rivers of Europe have long been the lifeblood of the communities that call them home. As they weave their way through the continent, they connect cities and landscapes with an allure simply unachievable with any other mode of transport.

Bratislava

Porto

Nestled between the Little Carpathian Mountains bordering Austria and Hungary, Slovakia’s capital occupies both banks of the Danube. Retaining small town charm throughout its quaint cobbled streets, Bratislava is one of Europe’s most laid-back yet immersive capital cities. Its most iconic landmark can be found watching over the Old Town, with vibrant white walls and rich red peaks, Bratislava Castle provides postcard-worthy views. Its rich history, influenced by many, can still be experienced in this illustrious city, each leaving their mark on the culture, architecture, and locals.

Located at the mouth of the Douro, Portugal’s secondlargest city is famous for its production of Port wine.

Recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, with a fascinating eclectic mix of modern and ancient architecture, Porto’s charms appeal to historians, creatives, and foodies alike. Its popular Ribeira district boasts authentic cafés and bars, as narrow cobbled streets lead off in search of the riverbank, where traditional Fado bands serenade a passing audience.

No visit to Portugal would be complete without calling at a wine cellar to taste its Port, of which here in Porto there are plenty to choose from.

Amsterdam

Lyon

The Netherlands charming capital may be small, but it certainly packs a lot of personality, characterised by countless canals and even more bicycles. Recognised for its artistic heritage and picturesque narrow terraced houses, the romantic cobbled streets and winding canal system reminds you of a simpler time.

This culture-rich city is home to an eclectic museum district that attracts fans of anything from history and art, to science and culture, while visits to cosy coffee shops, unique bars and excellent restaurants can be navigated easily by bicycle or along the central waterways, just as a local would.

The UNESCO World Heritage-listed city of Lyon sits on the confluence of the Rhône and Saône rivers and promises much in the way of history and culture.

Widely known as the ‘gastronomic capital of the world’, cosy quarters are bursting with quaint coffee shops, while traditional Lyonnais bouchons showcase authentic dishes and local wines. With more than 2,000 years of history, Lyon is home to many incredible places to visit, from the largest public garden in France, to streets rich with Renaissance architecture. The city’s most celebrated landmark – Basilica Notre-Dame de Fourvière boasts spectacular panoramic views.

Uncover the exotic beauty of Southeast Asia on a Great Cruise Escape with us.

Immerse yourself in the daily life of locals along the mighty Mekong River, feel the buzz from the high octane city of Ho Chi Minh, and wander the many age-old temples of Siem Reap. You’ll be swept up by the hustle and bustle of Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh, and in contrast sail the serene ethereal waters of Halong Bay in total relaxation.

Siem Reap

Phnom Penh

Lovingly referred to as ‘Gateway of the temples’, while in the Cambodian capital you’ll have the opportunity to visit Angkor Thom, Ta Prohm Temple and Angkor Wat. A short drive from Siem Reap, built in the 12th century Angkor Wat is now a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, and the grand scale and incredible detail of this complex is fascinating, with its decorative flourishes and intricate wall carvings, the construction is believed to have spanned three decades. Siem Reap is also home to floating villages, authentic markets and a creative cultural scene that includes the Phare Cambodian Circus where you can enjoy an evening of music, dance, and acrobatics.

Cambodia’s bustling capital can be found at the confluence of the Mekong and Tonlé Sap rivers, a picturesque city built around the Royal Palace, the residence of the King of Cambodia. It is here you will find the Silver Pagoda, one of Cambodia’s only temples to survive under the Khmer Rouge, this extravagant temple is covered in glistening silver and lined with jewels and lavish Buddha statues made from precious metals. Now a peaceful place, Choeung Ek is best-known as the site of the Killing Fields and a must-see whilst in the city. During a visit to the Oudong Temples receive a traditional Buddhist blessing from the resident monks.

Ho Chi Minh City

Halong Bay

Diverse, colourful and bustling it may be, Ho Chi Minh City remains the best place to connect with Vietnam’s tumultuous and fascinating past. Located in southern Vietnam, this vibrant city is an adventure for all the senses. Known for the beautiful architecture of its iconic landmarks, a stroll around the Colonial Quarter will certainly impress. Explore the fascinating Cu Chi Tunnels learning how the military constructed this underground network during the French and American Wars and be sure to try the array of streetfood. Unlike many other river ships, Emerald Harmony has been custom-built to sail into the heart of the city.

Named a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, the uniqueness of this beautiful bay has made it a mustsee sight when visiting northern Vietnam. Halong Bay is a mystical setting where towering limestone pillars topped with lush tropical vegetation emerge from the tranquil waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Made up of over 1,500 tiny islets, it’s a serene network of emerald lakes, illuminating caves an immense natural beauty. As part of the included EmeraldPLUS programme sail its ethereal waters on board a traditional-style junk boat and take in the breathtaking scenery of this magical region.

Embark on a Great Cruise Escape along some of the world’s most celebrated coastlines.

Alive with history, culture and natural splendour, we’ve selected four top destinations from our yacht cruising itineraries, each one unique and just waiting to be explored.

Naples

Aqaba

Nestled on the picturesque Bay of Naples in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius, this city possesses a passion to match its fiery as its neighbour. You may be surprised by the fast pace of Neapolitan life, narrow streets lined with eateries encourage people in with the delicious smells of their famous pizza, and scooters whizz through, honking their horns.

However it’s not all high-octane, Naples is abundant in important historic architecture, including the Cattedrale di San Gennaro and the Castel Nuovo.

And, Mount Vesuvius and Pompeii are just on the doorstep, perfect for a day out beyond the city.

Aqaba has much to offer the intrepid explorer.

Jordan’s only coastal city is packed with incredible sights to see and things to do. Not far from the waterfront, Aqaba Old Town is an homage to the past.

The vibrant souk tempts shoppers in with its heady mix of spicy scents, presenting stalls selling traditional keffiyehs, handmade ceramics and jewellery. Make time to visit Mamluk Castle, Aqaba Archaeological Museum, and explore the Sherif al-Hussein bin Ali Mosque, an architectural vision and place of worship.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Santorini, Greece

Aqaba at night

Dubrovnik

Santorini

A city encased in medieval walls watching over the calm azure waters of the Adriatic, it’s hard to imagine that any traveller could fail to be impressed by Dubrovnik. Discover the wonderfully preserved UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town, with a wealth of palaces, churches, monasteries and monuments. There is no better way to see the city than to walk its walls, taking around two hours, it provides breathtaking views along the way - so don’t forget your camera. Food is also a proud part of Dubrovnik’s tradition, owing much of its culinary heritage to the sea, you can expect some of the freshest seafood and most elegant wine bars along the Adriatic.

Inimitable in its beauty, Santorini’s rugged landscapes have become iconic to travellers far and wide. In Fira, the island’s capital, the whitewashed Orthodox Metropolitan Cathedral is impressive inside and out. Visit the excavation site of Akrotiri, the famous Red Beach and be sure to taste the volcanic wines cultivated locally. On the northwestern tip, the coastal village of Oia overlooks a caldera filled with stunning azure water. Head to the castle and enjoy the sunset views from its watchtower. Walk along the promenade in the fishing village of Ammoudi Bay, tasting the day’s fresh catch at a local tavern, all while soaking in the picturesque backdrop of the Caldera cliffs.
