    A fabled river journey through the heart of Europe

    Explore nine European countries, where a rich tapestry of cultural traditions, historic cities and breathtaking landscapes awaits along this extraordinary journey.

    From the North Sea to the Black Sea, indulge in a luxury river cruise spanning 23 days through Central Europe and Eastern Europe. As you journey along Europe’s classic rivers – the Rhine, Main and Danube – delve into historical splendours and mighty kingdoms, bewitching landscapes and vibrant traditions. Cruise through nine countries that each day unveil unique treasures amid ever-changing scenery, while enjoying the luxurious comforts of your Emerald Star-Ship. Embrace the iconic Dutch experiences of Amsterdam’s heritage canals or cycling through the windmill- dotted countryside. Glide through the World Heritage-listed Rhine Gorge, dotted with fairytale-like castles and spectacular Iron Gates Gorge. Admire Cologne’s Gothic architecture and Vienna’s imperial grandeur. Explore the medieval Old Towns of Bamberg, Regensburg and Budapest and Serbia’s hidden archaeological treasures. From immersive walking tours and local folklore shows to home-hosted visits with Slovakian families, enjoy a blend of relaxation and enrichment. Your spectacular journey concludes in Romania’s capital, Bucharest, the ‘Paris of the East,’ where momentous history and French-inspired beauty provide a fitting finale.
