Featuring a diverse lineup of river and yacht cruises across four continents, Emerald Cruises has opened its early booking window ahead of schedule for its entire 2025 European river cruise season.

Two-for-one fares are available on all 2025 sailings on the Rhine, Main, Danube, Moselle, Rhône and Douro rivers, including the springtime “tulip cruises” and a variety of Christmas Market cruises.

In addition, a wide array of EmeraldACTIVE tours, like guided hikes, bike rides and canoe trips, are available at no extra cost on each departure for guests looking for more adventure activities.

To help ensure guests can book their dream destinations, Emerald Cruises has increased the number of departures for some of their most popular itineraries.

Jewels of the Rhine—an eight-day sailing between Amsterdam and Basel on one of Europe’s more storied rivers—will add 15 departures in 2025, with a longer sailing season expanding into early November.

The 15-day Splendours of Europe traveling between Amsterdam and Budapest will add three departures for travelers looking to spend more time abroad. In addition to its two-for-one fares, Emerald Cruises is also offering free, roundtrip air when paying in full at least 12 months before departure.

All Emerald Cruises’ river cruise fares encompass a wealth of all-inclusives that cover airport transfers, daily guided tours including active options, all meals onboard, complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks with lunch and dinner, all gratuities, port charges and Wi-Fi.

For 2025 sailings, group guests (with as few as 10 passengers or five suites) will receive an extra $350 savings per person, along with exclusive benefits and discounts.

Additional information can be found by contacting a travel advisor, visiting Emerald Cruises’ website, www.emeraldcruises.com, or by calling the consumer/travel agent reservations line at 844-428-8389.
