The Evergreen Experience Inclusions that exceed your expectations

Evergreen Tours has an excellent reputation for quality, value and professional service. From start to finish, we carefully plan, arrange and coordinate every aspect of your holiday. Our itineraries are cleverly designed with the appropriate balance of inclusions, must-see sights and free time, all planned to unlock Europe’s richness and vibrancy. Our guests recognise that value is not only about the price but also what’s included in a cruise and tour. As part of the Scenic Group, we use the organisation’s purchasing power to pass the best value on to you.

Our inclusions bring to life the Europe you’ve always dreamed of. We know you’ll never forget the moment you first laid eyes on the colossal Cologne Cathedral, marvelled at the medieval castles of the Rhine Gorge, enjoyed the culinary tastes of Burgundy and Provence prepared by our own celebrity chef, or sampled the delights of Porto's wine cellars. Each one is a unique, unsurpassed experience and a premium inclusion with Evergreen Tours.

On your river cruise you’ll enjoy at least one included guided shore excursion every day. On these excursions

you’ll also receive your own personal 'whisper' headset so you don’t miss any of the fascinating information your Local Guide will present. Be impressed by the grandeur of 900 year old Melk Benedictine Abbey, soak up Vienna’s classical influence or wander the cobblestone laneways of Avignon.

These are just a handful of the included daily excursions you’ll experience on your river cruise.

Our You’re Invited, Emerald Active and Discover More programmes are highlighted on each itinerary page in coloured text.

Emerald Active More active inclusions for the guest who enjoys a slightly faster pace

You’re Invited Extra special inclusions such as homehosted lunches and unique village visits

Discover More A range of extra sightseeing allowing you to personalise your holiday in your free time.

Cruise and Tour in Style

A genuine smile every day from an experienced and professional crew

It takes special qualities to become an Evergreen Tour/Cruise Director including a passion for Europe’s diverse history and culture and the in-depth knowledge of a living encyclopedia!

They are your personal storyteller, art expert, historian, interpreter and problem solver all in one.

Your English-speaking Cruise Director or Tour Director provides expert commentary to enhance your holiday experience, sharing fascinating insights into history and culture.

Relax in comfort and safety on board our river cruise ships and modern coaches and rest assured that you are in good hands. Throughout your cruise you'll notice how each crew member maintains the perfect balance of friendliness and professionalism as they ensure every aspect of your time on board runs smoothly.

On your cruise you’ll also enjoy at least one guided shore excursion every day.

Your Local Guides will bring you closer to the local culture, people and history.

Evergreen Tours has included personal headsets on these local excursions.

It’s like having your guide standing next to you as you listen to the fascinating stories and history. We offer several different styles of tour: slower paced for photographers or more specialised tours such as historical or botanical.

After welcoming you on board, simply unpack once, settle in and feel at home! If you prefer not to join the organised excursion you’re free to explore as you choose and enjoy leisure time for shopping or whatever suits your fancy. There are plenty of opportunities to unwind, relax on deck, enjoy a swim in your heated pool, take photos and converse with new friends.

Why not take the opportunity to customise your holiday through our 'Discover More' programme. Many other tour companies offer excursions at inflated prices whilst on tour.

Information on our extra sightseeing is included in this brochure, so you can choose how best to spend your free time, either with us or on your own. Pre-book with your travel agent before you leave home to avoid disappointment!

Emerald 'Star Ships'

The world's newest and most innovative River Cruisers

Expect stylish and spacious ships designed to ensure the most comfortable journey. Breathe in the history of the continent’s greatest rivers. This is the most relaxing and convenient way to experience the Rhine, Main and Danube Rivers in central Europe, the Rhône and Saône Rivers in France, or the Douro River in Portugal & Spain.

Take a dip in our 24 sq m heated swimming pool at the rear of the Horizon Deck. A retractable roof allows you to enjoy it in all conditions.

At night, the pool is covered by an extended floor and the area transforms into an entertainment lounge, hosting movie nights and other functions.

Evergreen partners with sister company, Emerald Waterways, whose award-winning 'Star Ships’ are luxury floating hotels which impress from the moment you step on board. Europe’s newest and most deluxe vessels are owned and operated by Emerald Waterways, setting new standards and offering guests the opportunity to experience the finest vessels in Europe.

The Reflections Restaurant is a relaxed setting to enjoy our superb onboard cuisine and complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks are served with lunch and dinner. Lunch is freshly prepared featuring a tempting array of hot and cold dishes, and in the evenings you'll feast on a delicious four course dinner.

With more space per person than most other river cruise ships and exceptional features like floor to ceiling windows in the Horizon Bar and all public areas, our ships provide an overwhelming sense of light and space.

The public areas are well-designed with our guests in mind. The glorious sun deck with its 360° views, lounge chairs, walking track, putting green, giant Tic-Tac-Toe and Sky Barbecue is an inviting place to relax and enjoy the ever-changing scenery.

Note: In Portugal the pool is located on the Sky Deck.

The Terrace on the ship’s bow is perfect for al fresco dining. With panoramic views of the spectacular scenery, the Terrace is also a lovely alternative for a café-style lunch.

Evergreen's Emerald 'Star Ships' are virtually identical in layout and design however our ships in France and Portugal have fewer cabins, and some have slightly different dimensions.

You're Invited

An Evergreen exclusive

Join us on a journey into the Europe seldom seen by visitors. Since 2014 Evergreen has included unique and exclusive local experiences where our guests are welcomed into the lives of real people. You'll come home with a knowledge of Europe far deeper than a grand church or historic landmark alone can offer. In small groups, you'll meet local families and leave with an understanding of daily life in Europe.

Experience the hospitable atmosphere of a Slovak home in the village of Senkvice, Bratislava, where you will be welcomed for afternoon tea with a local family, your hosts for the afternoon.

In Germany, we welcome a traditional Bavarian band on board for a dance with the locals.

In the Black Forest, enjoy lunch at a genuine family-run country cottage, with an included Black Forest gateau tasting and demonstration. In Poland, experience a traditional meal at a local restaurant in the beautiful town of Kraków.

In Dubrovnik, join a Croatian family for dinner in a typical farmhouse. Tour the working farm and vineyard before sitting down to a home-cooked meal.

In Osijek, meet a local Croatian family who will welcome you to a homecooked lunch and in France, take a cooking class with a local celebrity chef.

In Portugal, soak up the beautiful views from a local wine estate and be hosted to a sumptuous dinner off the ship. You can also join your barman for a lesson in how to make cocktails using port.

These rewarding experiences will become lasting memories and are exclusive to Evergreen.

On other itineraries there are many different experiences which will bring you closer to the lives of European people, including wine tasting, cultural performances and interesting lectures.

Emerald Active

Venture a little further on foot or by bike

Evergreen proudly introduced 'Emerald Active', a range of outdoor activities to suit our more active guests, in 2015.

With a comprehensive touring programme using coaches, local guides and walking tours, your cruise itinerary already covers sightseeing in many formats including tours for photographers at a more relaxed pace.

Feedback from guests tells us that many prefer more adventurous choices as well. With this in mind 'Emerald Active' was created to provide another option to experience Europe without paying any extra.

On board your Emerald 'Star Ship', complimentary bicycles can be booked and enjoyed at any time while docked at ports. For example from Durnstein, in Austria, enjoy a guided bike ride with a local cyclist. Ride along the Danube pathways to explore the style of transport enjoyed by many Europeans through cycle networks linking towns, villages and countries.

(Note: Moderate fitness levels required).

In Wertheim, a picturesque village along the Main River, take the opportunity to hike to the extensive medieval ruins of Wertheim Castle which proudly overlooks the town and

river valley below. A reasonable level of fitness is needed but you will be rewarded both with stunning vistas and learn about the noble castles that grace this region.

In Amsterdam, join your local guide for an extensive walking tour around the back streets of this intriguing city including the famous Flower Market, extensive canals and infamous cafĂŠs.

In France, enjoy a guided bike excursion from Tournus to Macon while the ship sails.

Evergreen encourages you to be active and use your free time to explore Europe like a local, by bike and on foot.

Maps of each town, village and city are provided at the Reception of your 'Star Ship' and your Cruise Director can suggest sightseeing off the regular tourist routes.

All our city stays are three nights with two full days, so the remainder of your time is at leisure for you to explore. There will be at least one included dinner with the group and the Tour Director will always be available to assist in planning your day.

Ocean Cruising Links with Your River Cruise Relax on board specialised ships in stunning locations

Evergreen Tours has partnered with selected ocean cruising companies to offer exciting itineraries seamlessly linking our river cruises with spectacular ocean and fjord experiences.

In 2016 our successful partnership with Princess Cruises in the Baltic Sea was launched and we continue to offer a superb 11 night cruise commencing in Copenhagen, Denmark's lively capital.

The cruise visits Oslo in Norway, Tallinn in Estonia and then a two night stay in St Petersburg, Russia. Other stops include Helsinki, Stockholm and Warnemunde, Germany, which is the gateway to Berlin. Board your Evergreen river cruise in Budapest and sail to Amsterdam over 15 wonderful days before flying to Copenhagen to meet with your Baltic cruise.

Our established partnership with Hurtigruten voyages in the Norwegian Fjords has been very popular in particular for the September/October season which features the beautiful Northern Lights. A series of dates

match with our river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam for a 22 night itinerary. The expedition-style ship visits amazing fjords and islands as well as the smaller hamlets and intimate villages serviced by Hurtigruten for over 100 years. See the stunning scenery of Geirangerfjord and the sheer cliffs of the Lofoten Islands, before crossing into the Arctic Circle for surreal landscapes and abundant wildlife such as whales, seals and arctic birdlife.

Take advantage of our Earlybird deals where flights between cruises are included and cabin upgrades are available on your river cruise when it is combined with an ocean cruise.

The prices are based on a Princess Balcony Cabin and a Riviera Deck E category Emerald Stateroom.

Upgrades are available on request.

On Hurtigruten, the price is based on an Outside Stateroom.

With the success of our awardwinning Emerald 'Star Ships' between Amsterdam and Budapest and beyond, we're launching a brand new ship in the amazing culinary destination of France.

With relaxed itineraries and plenty of time to explore on your own, this is the perfect destination in which to river cruise. All the luxuries you are used to – the drop-down glass balconies, indulgent Owner's One Bedroom Suites, Club Pool which converts into a cinema, extensive dining choices and included excursions – are all featured for your enjoyment whilst cruising on board our 'Star Ships'.

Explore Lyon, France's second largest city, known as the gastronomic capital.

Dock in the heart of the beautiful towns of Mâcon, Chalon–Sur–Saône and Tournon, then taste the worldrenowned wines of Beaujolais and Burgundy. Marvel at the sheer size of the Palais du Pape in Avignon, surely one of the most historic and picture postcard towns in Europe, then step back in time at the Arles Colosseum.

This exciting new itinerary links with our Rhine Highlights Cruise from Amsterdam to Basel, featuring the incredible castles of the Rhine Gorge 62

with the picturesque valleys of the Black Forest. Transfer from Basel to Lyon by coach travelling through Switzerland.

Your Evergreen Cruise Director will be with you every step of the way to assist in local sightseeing and to answer any queries. Our team takes pride in their jobs and their goal is for you to not only have the perfect holiday but to come away from France with an intimate understanding of how the locals live.

Personalise your holiday with our Discover More excursions such as wine tasting in the Beaujolais region, a visit to a Benedictine Abbey in Cluny, or a tour of the medieval town of Perouges.

These excursions can all be booked on board with your Cruise Director but to avoid disappointment we always recommend booking before you leave.

As always, all tipping, gratuities, port charges and porterage are included, as well as beer and wine with lunch and dinner. Whisper headsets are included on all guided tours so you won’t miss a thing while pausing for that special photo or sight. Choose your Stateroom or Suite from the deck plan on page 124.

Frequently asked questions Q. What currency is accepted on board the ship?

A. The currency on board the ship is Euro. Most clients prefer to run a tab though, so you can use your credit card on board with a tab system set up at reception. You can also withdraw cash from ATM machines in the towns that you visit whilst on tour (cash passports are not accepted). Most countries visited in Europe will use the Euro although some still have their own local currency. For small purchases ashore or in small towns, local currency is advantageous. Many locations accept major credit cards. Prior to departure you should confirm your ATM card and PIN will work overseas.

Q. What adaptor should I take to charge my camera/ phone etc?

A. The ship has Australian and European wall sockets, so a Euro, Australian or international adaptor plug will work well.

We recommend bringing 1-2 international adaptors to adequately charge your devices. Please note power boards cannot be used.

Q. Will there be access to the internet?

A. On Emerald Waterways River Cruises there is free Wi-Fi. You should be mindful though that internet reception levels can vary depending on where the ship is, and Skype is often not available due to signal strength.

Q. If I have mobility issues will it be a problem?

Q. Is smoking allowed on board the ship?

A. Your ship is a smoke free environment in all public and private areas, except on the top sun deck, where smoking is permitted at the rear.

Q. Do I have to pre-book all shore excursions?

A. Normal included shore excursions are not pre-booked, however if you choose to personalise your holiday with the ‘Discover More’ extra sightseeing available, it is a good idea to pre book these to guarantee your place on them. Alternatively your Tour or Cruise Director can assist you with a booking on board. All excursions are subject to minimum numbers and we recommend booking early to guarantee your place. Talk to your Travel Agent or Reservations agent to book.

Q. Are the ships the same on all river cruise itineraries?

A. Emerald Waterways ‘Star Ships’ feature the same design across the fleet. Emerald 'Star Ships' are not featured on our Russia river cruise itinerary. In Russia you will be aboard the MS Surikov (see page 112 for details).

Q. Are your ships in France and Portugal identical to the Emerald ‘Star Ships’ in central Europe?

A. Yes they are designed exactly the same except that they have fewer cabins, and on the Douro cruise the swimming pool is on the Sun Deck.

A. Normally it is not a problem, but you should be able to at least cross the gangway from the shore to the ship un-aided, and there are steps to climb to reach the sun deck. Walking frames are usually ok, but wheelchairs are not manageable on river cruising.

A. The Club Swimming Pool on Emerald Waterways ‘Star Ships is open from 6am to 6pm daily.

Q. Is there a dress code at dinner time?

A. During dinner the pool is converted to a cinema and seats 20-24 guests. Popcorn and a bar service are available.

A. There are no enforced dress codes at any time on the ship.

However, for the Captains Gala Dinner, often our guests like to dress up, perhaps a jacket for the gentlemen and a dress for the ladies. Please bring comfortable walking shoes as you will need these daily whilst sightseeing, which includes walking over rough and uneven ground.

Q. What time is the Club Swimming Pool open?

Q. What time is the Evening Cinema open?

Q. When can I use the Putting Green?

A. The putting green is free to use and located on the Sun Deck.

No bookings are required and balls and putters are located on the sun deck near the putting green.

Q. What is the language on the Emerald Star Ship?

Q. Do the cabins have climate controlled air conditioning?

A. The language on board is English. An experienced English speaking Cruise Director accompanies every journey and all staff, crew and tour guides speak English and all announcements and lectures will be made in English.

Q. Do cabins have a safe?

Q. If I choose a combination of two cruises, can I pick different cabin categories on each cruise?

A. Yes all cabins and suites have individually controllable air conditioning and heating.

A. Yes all cabins have a safe.

Q. Does the ship have laundry facilities?

A. Yes there is a laundry service payable by item, similar to in hotels. Due to safety concerns there are no public washing facilities and no irons in the cabins. Guests can ask for garments to be ironed by the staff.

Q. Is there a hair dryer in the cabin?

A. Yes every cabin has a hair dryer.

Q. Are there coffee & tea making facilities on board?

A. There is a tea and coffee station available 24 hours in the Lounge.

Q. Are there bicycles on board?

A. We have approximately 16 complimentary pedal bicycles on board and we encourage you to take the opportunity to make use of the many scenic rides along the waterways and local villages. A safety helmet and bike lock is provided. Your Cruise Director can assist you with a booking.

A. Yes each cruise is selected separately when you book. Please note that Earlybird deals may not be applicable to all choices.

Q. When I choose a combination of two cruises are the transfers/flights included between the cruises?

A. Yes they are included where the combination is featured in this brochure, but not on other combinations.

Q. What validity do I need on my passport?

A. All passengers are required to possess a passport valid for 6 months beyond the conclusion of their trip. Please note: If your nationality (passport) differs from the country in which you reside, please take the time to check carefully with your local consulates concerning visa and passport requirements for your travels. Holidays can be disrupted or have to be altered altogether if the correct documents cannot be supplied at airports or borders, so check very carefully that you have the required papers.
