Passengers who book one of the line’s selected European river cruises this month will receive great savings.

With European river cruises continuing to be in hot demand among passengers this year, Emerald Waterways has decided to offer those who book in April savings of up to £1,000pp, plus the choice of unlimited free drinks or €200 per cabin to spend on board, on selected itineraries.

One of its amazing cruises this year is an eight-day tour of Eastern Europe. Embarking 5 October and starting from £2,495pp, the itinerary calls at Budapest, Kalocsa (Hungary), Osijek (Croatia), Belgrade, Kostolac (Serbia), Vidin, Ruse, Veliko Tarnovo, Arbanasi (Bulgaria), and Giurgiu (Romania), before arriving in Bucharest, where guests disembark for the flight home.

Highlights of the itinerary include an evening cruise through Budapest, Hungary’s stylish capital, a guided bike tour of Belgrade, followed by a Serbian folklore evening show, and a delicious tasting in Vidin at a local Bulgarian vineyard.

For spring, Emerald Waterways is offering an eight-day river cruise to Holland and Belgium from £1,495pp (based on 20 May 2019 departure in an Emerald Stateroom). The 360° tour calls at Amsterdam, Dordrecht, Antwerp (Belgium), Maastricht, Arnhem, and Utrecht, before arriving back in the Netherlands capital.

Some of the highlights include a glass top canal boat tour of Amsterdam, a visit to the oldest city in Holland, Dordrecht, to explore the Kinderdijk Windmills, and a guided walking tour through the enchanting city of Antwerp, known for its exquisitely preserved medieval architecture and Flemish ales.

Guests also have the choice of a no-fly option on the eight-day Charms of Holland and Belgium itinerary and can opt to travel via Eurostar at no extra charge. The no-fly option offers guests a great alternative to flying, as well as a quick and easy way to get to the Star-Ships docking location.

Prices include return flights, transfers, the cruises as stated above, all tipping and gratuities, food and selected drinks on board, shore excursions and exclusive on board events and experiences.
