    The Star-Ships

    Our custom built Star-Ships offer more space per guest than most other vessels on Europe’s waterways. At over 440 feet long, we boast five types of contemporary cabins and unique onboard innovations, like a heated pool that turns into a cinema at night. Enjoy various cultural highlights from the intimacy of the river, and after a day of exploring the land, unwind in our Horizon Bar & Lounge. Bask in the beauty of the incredible scenery and architecture along the rivers’ banks, whether from the privacy of your suite or the openness of the Sun Deck.

From a delicious meal in our Reflections Restaurant to an alfresco breakfast or light lunch on the Terrace, you can delight in culinary diversity. Our chefs prepare the dishes with great care and to the highest quality, inspired by the local cuisine and its ingredients. Quench your thirst with our complimentary beer, wine, and soft drinks that we serve with lunch and dinner or sip on a delightful cup of tea or coffee.

    The Cabins

    All of our ships offer a range of beautiful and spacious cabins for you to choose from, including the Emerald Panorama Balcony Suite – a new type of cabin designed and built by us. To replace the standard French Balcony suites that are common on river cruise ships, we have transformed the concept by creating a new type of indoor balcony. With a separate, decked area and our ingenious open-air system, you can interact with the outdoors with the touch of a button. The upper half of the cabin’s floor-to-ceiling window drops down to let in fresh air and allows you to connect with the landscape. 

    REDEFINING RIVER CRUISES WITH EMERALD WATERWAYS' UNIQUE HEATED POOL WITH RETRACTABLE ROOF THAT TRANSFORMS INTO A CINEMA

    Emerald Star

    Europe

    At Emerald Waterways, we take all-inclusive river cruises seriously. Redefining the rules and going far beyond what is normally expected of an all-inclusive experience. One example of this is our unique heated pool with retractable roof on our Rhine, Main, Danube and Rhône river ships, which in itself is fantastic. However, the features of our heated pool go much further. As night falls, popcorn and drinks are served, as the pool area fully-transforms into a relaxing cinema, perfect for passing the time in-between discovering awe-inspiring, stunning locations on your all-inclusive river cruise.
