In 2016 the Emerald Belle will be the fifth ship added to Emerald Cruises’ fleet. She will join the Emerald Dawn, Emerald Sky, Emerald Star and Emerald Sun. The company features cruises on the Rhine, Moselle, Main and Danube and the Dutch & Belgian Waterways.
Emerald Cruises also offers itineraries on ships outside its own fleet. There are cruise packages on the Rhône and Saône rivers in France as well as the Mekong and Irrawaddyrivers in Southeast Asia.
Europe – Staterooms
Staterooms on all of Emerald Cruises’ ships were built with the same specifications. The company has kept it pretty simple. All vessels have single staterooms (Category LS) available. These cabins are 117 square feet.
The smallest double cabins are 162 square feet, which is larger than many other river cruise ships in Europe. Category A staterooms, which measure 180 square feet, are the most common on Emerald Cruises’ ships. And the largest staterooms, the Owner’s Suites, are 315 square feet in size.
Ships in Other Regions
Emerald Cruises offers cruise packages on the Mekong and Irrawaddy rivers in Southeast Asia. Travel is on river boats that are shared by other river cruise companies. The Mekong Navigator operates on the Mekong River, and the Irrawaddy Explorer travels on the Irrawaddy River.
The company has not currently expanded beyond Europe and Southeast Asia.
