Emerald Amsterdam Cruise Reviews

What an outstanding cruise! No complaints. The boat, crew, tours, food were second to none. Very clean room with all you need to be comfortable. The food was top notch and as I have specific food needs, they met them and I felt very safe eating. The food was plentiful and the Chef Suggestions were always local or regional dishes. Nice touch. Wine pairings were very good, too. The crew ...

We chose this cruise line and time as it suited our time preference from Amsterdam to Budapest. The Luna is a new ship and it far exceeded our expectations The meals and food available is quite extent. We didn’t get a drinks package as we don’t drink too much but it probably is worth it if you do like a drink or two We had to change ships to the Destiny due to the low river levels ...

Did Budapest to Amsterdam originally scheduled on the Dawn but due to low water we were moved to the Sky. Since the boats are similar it was not an issue. The ship is modern and comfortable and the staff are excellent friendly and helpful. The passengers were mainly from Canada, Australia the US most in their 60s and up. Stayed in a Grand balcony suite which came with a separate balcony area plus ...

Boarding was good we were able to have lunch and drinks in the lounge while waiting for rooms to be ready. Recommendation. Could use more good evening entertainment. Piano but no piano man. Bell ringers and violinist had to end their shows early to get off the boat so we could sail. Dining room very crowded. Not much room to move around. Ports always seemed in industrial areas. ...

It has always been a "bucket list" thing for me to do. The size of the ship (less than 200 passengers), time away (14-15 days) and iconic destinations were significant considerations in choosing this cruise. It was a fantastic experience! The activities and places visited were fabulous and we had a great time strolling about taking the included walking tours with the local guides and the local ...

I chose this tour because it covered the Rhine and the Danube rivers. Also, it had the no single supplement available and as a solo traveller this is a bonus as the regular cruise price is very expensive. The staff on the Emerald Sun were very personable and helpful. They addressed you by your first name rather than a generic greeting in most cases. The cruise ship was kept clean and neat. ...

15 day - Splendours of Europe river cruise One of us was a completely new cruiser, the other had been on an ocean cruise 30 years ago. We wanted to be able to see as many sites in Europe as we could without sitting on a bus for too long. This cruise fit the bill perfectly, travelling to lots of different places. The local tour guides were all very knowledgeable and helpful. Sailing ...

After some comparison shopping, we chose Emerald, based on their brochures and the promotional campaign. It looked like a nice, high-end product and it included gratuities and extended beverage package (along with options that other companies also offer). We sailed for two weeks from Budapest to Amsterdam in the second half of August. Once we found the ship, the check-in was smooth and well ...

Initial embarkation was straightforward, as the ship was docked adjacent to the port, but if this is not the case as we encountered later, it can be a matter of luck whether there is a straight walk through another ship, or if one has to climb to the sun deck, traverse two sun decks, and down again to the dock. As I am able to walk a few steps with assistance, this was less of a problem for me, ...

We traveled as a family, my husband, our adult son and myself. We always wanted to go on a river cruise and Jewels of the Rhine was perfect for us. The itinerary is perfect and the towns we stop to visit are just beautiful, most of them having preserved their medieval architecture. Having a guide telling us about the historical places was very important to us. Emerald Luna is a modern ship with ...
