Why Book
Emerald Radiance
Overview
Emerald Radiance joined the Emerald Waterways fleet in 2017. This custom-built ship sets sail with a maximum of 112 guests onboard to explore the vineyards and wine-producing villages alongside Portugal's River Douro. Life onboard is intimate and relaxed, equally matched by an impressive 1:3 crew to guest ratio, stylish guest accommodation, and tasty culinary experiences. The Sun Deck is the hub of the ship and lets you make the most of the balmy Portuguese climate. Relax in the sunshine on a deck chair or take a dip in the heated Serenity Pool. Soak up the ever-changing riverside views with a few laps of the walking track or sink a few balls at the golf putting green. Keep trim with a workout in the fitness centre or pamper yourself with a new hairdo at the hairdressers. The ship docks at a variety of culturally-rich and enigmatic ports which you can explore on an included excursion. The 56 suites and staterooms are set across three beautifully-appointed decks - the Horizon Deck has the Emerald Panorama Balcony Suites, Emerald Riverview Suites and the Owner's One-bedroom Suite; Vista Deck features the Emerald Panorama Balcony Suites; and the Riviera Deck offers the Emerald Staterooms.
Food & Drink
Look forward to memorable dining moments from start to finish on-board our boutique Star-Ships. With elegant dining venues and an attentive service team, breakfast, lunch and dinner promise to be among the highlights of your journey as you travel the waters of Europe and Asia with us.
From your Welcome Buffet to the Captain’s Farewell Dinner, dining is a joy on-board our Star-Ships. You’ll savour chef-prepared meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, accompanied by a selection of complimentary beverages that make mealtimes extra special.
Every plate and every glass is inspired by the local region, so whether you’re cruising the waters of southern France or Southeast Asia, you can look forward to a taste of regional flavours throughout your river cruise, along with a selection of traditional favourites.
We believe food should reflect local flavours, which is why all our plates take inspiration from the regions we pass through. Our chefs source ingredients from local suppliers, creating menus that capture authentic regional cuisine whether you’re in Portugal, Germany, Vietnam or Cambodia.
And it isn’t just our food which provides a glimpse of local flavour; all our wines are handpicked to pair beautifully with our plates, sourced where possible from regional suppliers. What’s more, you can enjoy a glass or two on us during mealtimes, so whether you’re dining à la carte or grazing at the buffet, dining is always a culinary celebration.
Free drinks with meals
What’s a delicious meal without the perfect drink to accompany it? As part of our EmeraldVALUE promise, we provide complimentary drinks at mealtimes, so you can enjoy a hot beverage or juice with breakfast or selection of wine, beer and soft drinks with lunch and dinner.
Entertainment
As the host on-board, our Cruise Directors strive to ensure there’s never a dull moment during an Emerald Cruises river cruise. With this in mind, a fantastic range of entertaining activities are available for you to enjoy.
Thanks to the unique design of our Star-Ships, we are able to host a unique event program throughout your cruise. In the Horizon Bar & Lounge, immerse yourself in ancient folklores, passed from one generation to another for hundreds of years, during an authentic show. Or, let the music of a nation sweep you off your feet as a local band takes to the floor in their traditional attire. Alternatively, catch that film you never got round to seeing during movie nights in the cinema.
Health & Fitness
A comprehensive selection of gym equipment and spa facilities are available to all guests in the wellness and fitness areas – keeping you treated and toned throughout the cruise.
Kids & Teens
Please note: there will be no children's facilities onboard the Emerald Radiance.
