Good Value for your money

Although at first the price appeared high it’s not when you consider what is actually included: Breakfast Lunch Dinner Bar Snacks each evening Beer and Wine at Lunch and Dinner Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate, Cookies 24/7 Popcorn on movie nights. Tours with excellent tour guides. Local entertainment on board ship Professional, friendly, hardworking staff. We did the Danube from Budapest to Passau then a coach to Prague for 4 Days. Our trip included stops of some beautiful places with ample time to explore. Emerald is our β€œgo to” river cruise company which I strongly recommend to others to give them a try.

Our Duoro river cruise was excellent.

Our Duoro river cruise was excellent. All the staff were friendly, efficient and our every need was catered for. The bar staff were great fun. The cabin was comfortable and always kept clean and tidy. We were also impressed that a lot of the staff came from Porto. A beautiful experience. Thank you

Take care you choose the right cabin

I enjoyed all of my cruise couldn’t fault anything but unfortunately when choosing our cabin my husband chose one right next to the engine room ,not being a very good sleeper I struggled to get a decent sleep .

Stormy Danube Days

We arrived at Munich airport in the midst of the biggest storm to hit the Danube Basin in many years. This caused considerable upheaval to our planned itinerary, sailing between Passau and Budapest. In the midst of this, the captain and the senior crew dealt with the enforced changes efficiently, with good humour and excellent communication skills which kept all passengers informed at all times. Despite the problems a great time was had by all, helped by the usual Emerald attention to detail and fine food and wine. We were sorry to leave the cruise at the end of the week but left with a firm resolve to repeat the experience - minus the storm - in the near future.

What a great experience

We've been on two emerald cruises, fabulous, love that you can sit at random tables for meals and have the chance to speak to different people each other time.

More time for the bigger cities .

I went on the Danube Budapest to Bucharest . I was disappointed that the scenery all along the Danube was unexciting , just trees and more trees ! I would have liked more time in Budapest and Bucharest as they are interesting cities but this wasn’t possible . Bucharest visit to Chowchesques palace was truly awful snd a complete waste of time . We had little time to see the city except for on the coach . I cannot fault the boat organisation though which was excellent. Food , staff , comfort , cleanliness all exemplary .
