We chose this cruise as we had already travelled Budapest to Bucharest in 2019 with Emerald so already knew they were a good company to go with.
The Cruise Director had everything very well organised. We visited 5 countries in 2 weeks with included tours in each stop.
For those that wanted a more active holiday there were bike rides and hikes.
The food was excellent. Breakfast was a ...
The cruise was brilliant but the administration left a lot to be desired we didn’t get tickets until the day before we travelled , after chasing and chasing ! our flights were changed and we were not informed after I had booked all our seats so had to go through to BA and rebook them , all a bit worrying BUT I have to say the cruise itself was excellent . Emerald staff on the cruise were ...
Waited a long time for this cruise, got family and friends to join us and all reported a great cruise. Only one thing is the walking...that is for asthmatic passengers it a little grind. Cruise and ship personnel were the best could not of been more pleasant to deal with.
All that they say is included is and then some more. I would say that this cruise line is as good as if not better that all ...
We were first time cruisers and picked this line based on itinerary, ratings, and prices. It was a Danuberiver cruise in mid to late October (luckily the weather was very warm for that time of the year with almost no rain). We were not disappointed. The Embarkation process was efficient with hotel manager personally showing us to the room and explaining everything was great. Great selection of ...
We were on Emerald Star Sept 1-8 2019.The embarkation was a nightmare we sat in airport in Frankfurt from 9:30am to 1:30 pm. Orginately we were suppose to be there at 12:30 pm. But got email to say come for 9:30 am. But bus at 10: only big enough for 10 people and luggage and we were about 35 people. Then 2and 1/2 drive with no bathroom break. Not sure who was a fault but certainty a ...
An excellent cruise to enjoy.
All facilities excellent.
Staff excellent .
This cruise is seriously tops.
The staff were helpful and not over intrusive. It is difficult for staff to provide just the correct amount of friendliness without being invasive. The staff on board Emerald Dawn were excellent. They provided us with a wonderful experience.
The organised programme was ...
This is our third cruise with Emerald. Did same cruise 3 years ago. Beautiful ship. Spacious and spotlessly clean cabins. Excellent service and choice of food and drinks. Very attentive and friendly staff. Interesting shore excursions every day. Good entertainment. Absolutely no problems or concerns. Definitely recommend. Daily information sheets and maps of each excursion. Cruise director ...
We did the Splendours of Europe cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. Originally to be on Emerald Sky but changed to Emerald Dawn due to the lock issue near Nuremburg. The arrival on the ship was seamless and all the staff were so gracious and helpful. Cruise Director Nina was excellent. she was on top of everything, informative and kept us up to date on excursions, etc. Our cabin was perfect for ...
We were booked on the Emerald Dawn but the ship was changed to the Emerald Sun. The central problem was noise from above at all hours of the night. The toilets on the ship were of an airline design. We were on the second level, and had to endure the explosive sound of the toilet from the cabin above throughout the night. We were awakened many times during the night, even when using earplugs. ...
We've been on ocean cruises before but this is so much better since you can see the countryside as you're sailing.
Budapest was a great starting point, we spent a couple of days ahead and enjoyed it...so different than we expected and the city is certainly the highlight of the Danube. We especially loved the night cruise.
The ship is well set up. The room layout efficient and effective. ...
