WHY IT RATES: Emerald Cruises is kicking off wave season early with a new promotion. -Codie Liermann, Senior Editor
In response to current travel trends indicating increased demand for small ship cruising in 2022 and 2023, Emerald Cruises is ushering in wave season early with a new campaign themed 'Discover the World.' This campaign, which runs through December 15, 2021, offers plenty of travel inspiration across three continents in addition to sizeable savings on an array of 2022 and 2023 small ship river and yacht cruises. The program comes on the heels of Emerald Cruises' announcement that it will launch a second yacht - Emerald Sakara - scheduled to sail in just over a year after sister-yacht Emerald Azzurra's 2022 maiden voyage.
Guests booking select 2022 or 2023 European and Southeast Asia river cruises during the wave campaign can save up to $2,400 per couple on their booking depending on length of sailing. Guests who book a suite on the Horizon Deck (Europe) and Horizon or Pool Deck (Asia) will receive an additional bonus savings of five percent. And guests booking any of the above and paying in full by December 15, 2021, will receive the Super Earlybird discount of an extra 10 percent off. Some guest favorites include the eight-day Legendary Rhine and Moselle through some of Germany's most picturesque towns and villages, and the awe-inspiring 13-day Wonder of Vietnam, Cambodia and the Mekong between Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City.
Guests who wish to book select 2022 and 2023 yacht cruises in the Mediterranean, Red and Aegean Seas can receive up to 35 percent off the cost of their booking when paying in full by December 15, 2021, plus a free Premium Drinks Package which includes all beer, wine, cocktails and soft drinks. New for 2022, the eight-day Greek and Turkish Coastline sailing round trip from Athens takes guests on a journey through the beautiful azure waters of the Aegean Sea.
To help travelers with peace of mind, all bookings come with the line's flexible booking policy allowing guests to defer travel plans and transfer to an alternate departure date or itinerary up to 60 days prior to departure with no Emerald Cruises fees. Those looking for additional security can purchase the new Platinum Protection Plan, which provides coverage for guests who may fall ill or whose travel plans are affected by Covid-19.
Emerald Cruises offers a diverse lineup of river and yacht cruises on three continents. Emerald Azzurra, the line's first ocean-going vessel set to debut in January 2022, is a 100-guest, luxury superyacht that will sail the warm waters of the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Black and Red Seas. Emerald Sakara will be the brand's second superyacht and will add the Seychelles to the destination lineup when she launches in 2023. On the rivers, Emerald Cruises sails eight branded Star-Ships in Europe and one on the Mekong, as well as a chartered river ship sailing the Russian waterways (MS Nizhny Novgorod). The brand offers contemporary deluxe ships, outstanding service and an incredibly inclusive pricing plan that has won them the honor of being named Best River Cruise Line for Value by the Cruise Critic Editors' Picks Awards for five years running. Emerald Cruises is part of Scenic Group, which includes Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, Mayflower Cruises & Tours and Evergreen Tours in Australia.
