Lovely cruise
Fantastic staff
Beautiful scenery
Amazing food

We enjoyed a 9/10 experience with Emerald.

Nearly perfect, but some niggles which took the shine off the otherwise exceptional holiday.

We were encouraged to complete an online satisfaction survey before leaving the vessel and within a time limited link which we did, but were quite surprised not to get a follow up considering the issues we raised around health and safety. We’ll see if this review provokes a call from Emerald!

Positives - Port calls were idyllic and off the beaten cruise track. Food and beverages were excellent. Staff wholly attentive and personable - the yacht’s greatest asset in our opinion. A true ‘super yacht’ experience at an affordable price point. Standard balcony cabin was spacious, well designed and super comfortable. Outside decks fabulous to relax on with plenty of space and never felt crowded.

Advise to research ports beforehand to get the most out of the time ashore as not much information given onboard. Not suitable for those with mobility issues or frailty due to most transfers ashore by tender or zodiac which can be challenging and weather dependent. Also some heavy doors out onto decks.

Entertainment was ridiculous, very amateur, poor and quite frankley, stupid!
Food ok
Staff good
Would I go again? NO!

I contacted Emerald to arrange to bring my husbands mobility scooter on our Douro cruise. They booked this in with the airlines and explained what we could and couldn't do on the ship. When we arrived to board the Emerald Radiance we found that they had upgraded us to a more suitable cabin. The crew couldn't have been more helpful in helping with mobility issues. Thank you for making our holiday exceptional.

I had a nice experience with Emerald cruise and I recommend, if you want to make a river cruise into Europe!

A fantastic journey well organised from start to finish would definitely recommend this holiday to Asia a trip of a lifetime to remember, Hanoi ,Ha long bay, Saigon and Cambodia, then on to Singapore to finish the trip.

Very well organised with interesting and informative trips. Both hotels and cruise ship were excellent including both rooms/cabins and food. The staff on the cruise ship were first rate and ensured that the cruise was memorable and enjoyable.

Terrible experience. Poor communications. Did not get to most of the ports advertised.. food was excellent as was the staffing in the bar.

It was fantastic from the moment we boarded the ship, staff were amazing and food magical.

A wonderful adventure along the Douro on a beautiful and very comfortable boat. Great food and wine and helpful attentive staff.

A truly fantastic and memorable trip down the river Danube - one, just like our previous trip with Emerald on the Rhine, we’ll be talking about for years to come.
My wife and I were very sad to leave ‘our floating home’ at the end of the cruise, but very glad of the memories we’d made.
Thank you Emerald - we’ll be back😎

We have done a number of Emerald cruises and have found them consistently very good. We enjoy the well trained and efficient staff and the general level of attention paid to ensuring a good experience for all on board. Food, level of cleanliness of very high standard. It is lovely to be able to unpack and enjoy the days thereafter seeing new places without effort. We've always had great fun with the people we've met.

The ship Sakhara is beautiful, like an oligarch's yacht.
The interior is absolutely amazing. Fabulous lounge and bar, three fabulous dining areas, and the rooms are so spacious and very thoughtfully furnished, lots of window with door out to private deck
Only 100 guests and you meet them all during the time you're on the ship or on one of the tours ashore.
Food is all fantastic

Lovely friendly ship as usual with happy friendly staff.

Staff were excellent, without exception. Room very nice and well kept by our lovely steward Raymond. Food was disappointing overall. As a vegetarian I found the choice limited. On two evenings on a 12-night cruise the main offering was repeated. It wasn’t nice the first time, never mind the second! Drinks were oddly flavoured sometimes, cocktails particularly. Itinerary was missing something too, not quite what the promotional stuff had implied. Only one marina opportunity- when it was cold and raining too! Ports chosen for mooring very poor overall. More often than not in a very working industrial area with a less-than-appetizing outlook , not conducive to appealing cycling or a lovely view from the balcony.

1st river cruise and we've already booked our next one. Very well organised.
