Emerald Cruise Reviews

We sailed on Emerald Harmony up the Mekong from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Phnom Penn as part of a longer tour of Vietnam and Cambodia with Emerald. In summary the cruise was simply amazing. Our owners suite was even bigger than it looked in the brochure pictures and we were the envy of several others that we met who had tried to book the suite. We never got round to using the jacuzzi bath ...

We started the land part of our trip in Hanoi, joining the Harmony a week later for seven nights on the Mekong. I have sailed with Emerald once before (on the Rhine) and have been more than impressed on both occasions by the attention to detail of every aspect of the cruise experience. The Harmony is a beautiful and relatively new ship, very tastefully furnished and fitted-out. The main ...

The ship is excellent, well designed and thought out. Hardly anything was missing. Good coffee/tea station, no kettles in room, without fi generally works OK on the Mekong. Rooms have plenty of room and bathroom is super. The staff are fantastic, though perhaps a bit over attentive for us. Helpful, courteous and always a smile. Sometimes it's hard for them to understand your needs on good, it ...

Could not find anything negative about our experience to write about. The food was creative, varied and delicious. (exceptional shipboard homemade ice cream). The wine tasted top-drawer; whites refreshing and reds smooth. The service was personal and prompt. The room surprised us, spacious, comfortable with lots of closet space. The staff and crew all seemed to enjoy their jobs. The Cruise ...

This is for the cruise ship and crew only! Everything you have read in other reviews is true. We have traveled on 5 River cruise THE CD, The crew, the Food and Ship was the BEST we have experienced!!!!!!!!!!!!! The full pool was unexpected but very appreciated .The crew had our names and drinks remembered the first two hours of the cruise. The Itinerary was VERY interesting The ...

We were not impressed with Emerald Cruises. The food was nothing special, and the excursions were few and mostly of little interest. The suites were poorly designed -- even the more expensive ones. Our 2-room suite and extra large balcony was only 40 inches wide and 24 feet long -- most of which was NOT useable; and there was only one tiny table and 2 very small chairs on the entire stretch. ...

Emerald Harmony is a very attractive spacious ship. Food was excellent and the staff on board could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The excursions were plentiful and all very interesting. Our tour guides were brilliant. There was a very good mix of nationalities on this cruise and all got along very well. We enjoyed all aspects of the holiday from the cruise along the Mekong Delta ...

This Emerald Waterways trip included fabulous hotel accommodations in the large cities, a beautiful Bhaya junk on Halong Bay, and spacious, beautiful cabins on board the Emerald Harmony. Noteworthy was the Shanti Mani hotel in Siem Reap, the perfect hotel. The excursions included several fascinating visits to local families and craftspeople, sampan trips on smaller waterways, and interesting ...

Our recent Caribbean cruise aboard the Emerald Azzurra was nothing short of fantastic. The ship's stunning beauty and impeccable cleanliness exceeded our expectations, creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience. The half-full cruise fostered a friendly atmosphere among both passengers and the crew. The selection of ports and smaller spots added charm to our journey, and the availability of ...

We had heard so much about Portugal and decided to go. We had gone on Emerald Liberte in the Spring and enjoyed ourselves, despite the French strike. The staff and the food are fantastic! Chef Marinho is gifted for such a young man. The Captain is 28 years old and he navigates the Douro perfectly. The excursions are informative and well thought out. The little extras they fit in were ...
