Explore the extraordinary on a luxury river cruise
The ship was always immaculately clean and kept, including the suite and all public areas. The pool on Star-Ships is a heated indoor pool with floor-to-ceiling windows and a retractable roof that becomes a cinema in the evening. On Emerald Harmony in Asia it is an open-air pool and in Portugal it is a small “serenity-style” pool on the sun deck. The rest of the innovations are fairly standard on newbuilds in the modern era of European river cruising. Among those are the private balconies for the majority of cabins, good-sized suites, and open-air alternative dining spots. The alfresco dining area at the bow of the ships provides informal alternative dining options for breakfast and lunch, but most meals are served in the Reflections Restaurant - the riverboat's main dining room.

In early-2020, Scenic Group established "Emerald Yacht Cruises" as a separate (from Emerald Waterways) brand specializing in premium yachting vacations. The new brand was inaugurated in 2022 with the newbuild 100-passenger superyacht Emerald Azzurra. Scenic's yacht brand operates itineraries in Europe's southern seas (Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean, Black Sea) and also in the Red Sea (Arabian Gulf/Dubai) and Indian Ocean (Seychelles). The similarly designed but larger Emerald Kaia is currently scheduled for inauguration in April 2026. The suites and staterooms on board our yachts are modern sanctuaries with inspired décor and contemporary designs. Enjoy all the amenities you’d expect from a world-class hotel including luxury ESPA toiletries, Wi-Fi, and a queen or twin-sized bed.
These voyages leave roundtrip from Dubrovnik's Port Gruz (departures May 2, Aug 8, Aug 22, Sep 26) and from Venice (departures Jun 20, Aug 1, Aug 15). In July 2020, the "Emerald Waterways" brand was officially launched in Australia, where Scenic Group originally operated river cruises via the "Evergreen Cruises and Tours" brand. Emerald Waterways as a cruise line debuted with 2 top-luxury riverboats - Sky and Star. The 5th boat was scheduled for launch in 2016 (Emerald Belle), but a construction yard fire accident postponed the launch for 2017. The boat's name was also changed to "Emerald Destiny", joining the 2017-inaugurated boats Liberte and Radiance.

Also are offered bus tours to Veste Oberhaus and Bratislava Castle, as well as 6 EmeraldACTIVE hiking and biking tours.

With rebooking, Scenic Group provides an FTC (Future Travel Credit) for all canceled departures.
Breakfast and lunch are gorgeously set buffets, with hot and cold items, including an omelet station, fresh berries, and more. On Emerald yachts, items like pancakes can also be ordered a la carte at breakfast. Dinner is served a la carte each evening across the brand, and options never seem to repeat. A menu of soups, salads, entrees, and desserts typically draws upon European influence, but is tailored to the itinerary. Emerald Kaia ship's schedule for 2026 (inaugural season) was announced in April 2024. The program listed only 8x voyages (opened for booking on April 10th) and is based entirely on the 14-night/15-day "Discover the Best of the Croatian Coast" itinerary.
Many of the rooms have balconies that either jut from the ship or can be created by raising and lowering the glass wall of your stateroom. Guests will also enjoy some of the ship’s little luxury touches, like soft beds and linens, glass-doored shower stalls, a flat screen TV with access to a wide range of streaming movies, and free wi-fi while on board. Service onboard Emerald Azzurra is warm and thoughtful but at times inconsistent. Drink orders might be taken by a server as you lounge around the pool, but you are asked to order your own drinks at the bar in the Amici Lounge. Some meals were accompanied by constantly refreshed wine, while another night, entrees were seriously delayed.
