Contemporary Elegance on the Blue Danube

As one member of the coveted Emerald Star-Ships, the Emerald Star represents a new era of river cruising, where sleek, modern design meets the classic charm of the European waterways. From the moment you step into the sun-drenched three-tier atrium, you are surrounded by a sense of light and space. The ship’s signature innovation is its dual-purpose area at the stern: a heated indoor pool with a retractable roof that transforms into a cozy cinema by night. Whether you are watching the Wachau Valley slide by from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Horizon Bar or enjoying the breeze on the teak-lined Sun Deck, the Emerald Star is a floating boutique hotel designed for total immersion.

Each suite and stateroom is a sanctuary of contemporary comfort, featuring the ingenious "indoor balcony" system that allows you to transform your living space into an open-air veranda at the touch of a button. Culinary excellence is at the heart of the experience, with the Reflections Restaurant serving menus inspired by the very regions you are sailing through, paired with local wines. With a fitness center, spa, and a fleet of on-board bicycles for active exploration, the Emerald Star ensures that your journey along the Danube is as revitalizing as it is culturally enriching.
