The Future of European River Cruising

Commencing service in May 2026, Emerald Astra represents the next generation of our award-winning fleet. Built to mirror the sleek, sophisticated silhouette of our luxury superyachts, Astra features a striking modern exterior with grey-tinted glass and enhanced interiors that push the boundaries of style and functionality.

Accommodating 180 guests, the ship has been designed with a high Staff-to-Guest ratio to ensure an exceptional standard of service on the Rhine and Danube. Every cabin category has been reimagined with contemporary finishes, while the Sun Deck and public lounges have been enhanced to offer even more panoramic space for relaxation. Emerald Astra is the ultimate choice for the traveler seeking the cutting-edge of river cruising luxury.
