Frequently Asked Questions
Our certified Emerald Cruises specialists answer the most common questions travelers ask when planning their river or yacht cruise.
What is included in an Emerald Cruises booking?
Emerald Cruises offers a highly inclusive booking package. Your fare covers all onboard meals, complimentary draft beer, wine, and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, a daily shore excursion in every port led by local guides, all port charges, airport transfers to and from the vessel, and all onboard tips and gratuities. This ensures there are no surprise fees at the end of your cruise.
What is the difference between Emerald Cruises and Scenic?
Both brands are owned by the Scenic Group, but they target different styles of luxury. **Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours** represents ultra-luxury, featuring larger staterooms, a 1:2 staff-to-guest ratio, all-day open bar, and butler service for all guests. **Emerald Cruises** is a premium, contemporary brand centered on sleek, modern design. Emerald offers excellent value, reservation-free main dining, and robust inclusions at a more accessible price, making it popular for active, independent travelers.
What is the difference between an Emerald river cruise and an ocean yacht cruise?
**Emerald River Cruises** sail Europe's historic waterways (like the Rhine, Danube, and Douro) on sleek, clean-lined Star-Ships built to navigate rivers and dock in the center of historic European towns. **Emerald Yacht Cruises** utilize custom-designed luxury superyachts (like the Emerald Azzurra and Emerald Sakara) carrying just 100 guests, allowing them to access small, exclusive ports in the Mediterranean, Adriatic, and Caribbean that larger ocean cruise liners cannot reach.
Do Emerald Cruises have active excursion options?
Yes, through the **EmeraldACTIVE** program. Guests can choose active excursion alternatives at no extra cost, including guided bike tours along scenic river pathways (on the ship's complimentary bicycles), guided hikes to castle ruins and hilltop viewpoints, and onboard wellness classes (such as yoga, Pilates, and aqua aerobics) led by a dedicated wellness coach.
Why should I book my Emerald Cruise through Vincent Vacations?
Vincent Vacations is a certified, top-producing agency with Emerald Cruises. Booking through a Vincent Vacations specialist costs you nothing extra, but unlocks **Signature Travel Network perks** such as complimentary stateroom upgrades (subject to availability) and additional onboard spa or beverage credits. Most importantly, we provide proactive 24/7 flight monitoring and disruption management, coordinating directly with cruise operations to handle delays or cancellations so you never miss a sailing.
