Emerald Luna has joined the Emerald Cruises award-winning fleet as the line’s ninth Star-Ship set sail this weekend from Amsterdam on an eight-day Holland and Belgium in Bloom river cruise. The launch comes as Emerald Cruises celebrates its 8th year of operations and the recommencement of its 2022 Europe river cruises.
180-guest Emerald Luna is a brand-new luxury, small river ship with innovative features and a contemporary design. From the three-tier atrium to the heated swimming pool that seamlessly transforms into a cinema, Emerald Luna has been meticulously designed to maximise space and guarantee comfort, ensuring that the journey is as memorable as the destination.
Designed to dock directly in the heart of cities, town and villages that line rivers of central Europe, the river ship boasts spacious suites and staterooms, including the line’s innovative balcony design in most cabins – complete with decked area and ingenious open-air system.
“Emerald Luna marks a new, exciting addition to our growing fleet – following closely from last month’s launch of our first-ever ocean-going superyacht, Emerald Azzurra” said David Winterton, global director of brand & marketing at Emerald Cruises.
“With bookings remain strong for this spring and summer and with Europe continuing to be a popular destination for both new-to-cruise and loyal guests, the launch of Emerald Luna allows more of our guests than ever before to experience Europe’s rivers in our signature Emerald Cruises style.”
Emerald Luna will be officially welcomed to the award-winning fleet at a christening ceremony in Amsterdam on 21 July by godmother, US travel industry advocate and educator Vanessa McGovern of Gifted Travel Network. Emerald Luna will join sister Star-Ships Emerald Sun, Emerald Sky, Emerald Star, Emerald Dawn and Emerald Destiny sailing the Rhine, Main, Moselle and Danube rivers in Europe. Emerald Cruises’ river fleet also includes the 132-guest Emerald Liberté sailing the Rhône and Saône Rivers in France, 112-guest Emerald Radiance sailing the Douro River in Portugal, and 84-guest Emerald Harmony sailing the Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia.
