Emerald Waterways unveils Emerald Luna, new itinerary for 2021 season

Emerald Waterways will be adding a new Star-Ship to their fleet, Emerald Luna, starting in spring 2021, the company announced in a release.

Emerald Luna will become the line’s sixth Star-Ship to sail the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers, and will bring the total Emerald Waterways river fleet to nine.

Built to the same specifications as the line’s other RMD ships, Luna will feature Emerald Waterways’ signature indoor pool that converts to a cinema at night as well as their innovative all-weather indoor balconies with floor-to-ceiling windows.

“Canadian interest in sailing the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers has been growing, and we look forward to offering our unique brand of exceptional Emerald Waterways’ value to an even larger audience,” Patricia Wu, brand director for Emerald Waterways Canada, stated.

Emerald Waterways will also add a new itinerary to their 2021 season — a 10-day sailing through Holland and Belgium entitled Springtime Delights. 

Sailing round trip out of Amsterdam in April, the itinerary will include stops in lesser-explored ports such as Maastricht, Holland’s oldest fortified city, and Haarlem, the heart of the Dutch flower growing industry.

And because April is the height of tulip season in Holland—the itinerary will include a visit to the iconic Keukenhof Gardens, which boasts nearly 80 acres abloom with more than seven million multi-coloured flower bulbs.

Guests booking any 2021 European sailing between January 20th and May 14th, 2020 will receive free or reduced round-trip air depending on the length of the sailing they choose.

Those interested in a sailing of 15 days or longer will receive free, round trip air to Europe, while guests looking to book shorter sailings between 8 and 14 days will receive round trip air for $295.

Emerald Waterways will be hosting a series of complimentary information sessions in cities across Canada during February and March.
