Emerald Stateroom

Cabin Grade: D

An Emerald Stateroom is home to all the amenities you need to settle into your home-away-from-home. A great size picture window lets in the perfect amount of light, welcoming in the golden summer sunshine, or the winter sun during cooler months. Comfort is of the highest importance, so each room features individual climate control, allowing you to personalise your room’s temperature to suit your preferences and the time of year you’re cruising. We’ve designed our bathrooms as a relaxing retreat to retire to after an exciting day exploring. Enjoy a sumptuous shower complete with indulgent toiletries, as well as a hairdryer, all before settling into your queen or twin hotel-style bed, complete with luscious linens, as you enjoy a movie on your flat screen TV and infotainment system with, perhaps, a nightcap from your mini-bar. If you wish to stay in contact with loved ones throughout your trip, you can do so using your in-suite telephone or our free Wi-Fi available throughout the ship.

Overview of Emerald Radiance

With a capacity of 112 passengers and a crew-to-guest ratio of just 1:3, Emerald Radiance is the most intimate ship in the fleet operated by Emerald Cruises. Despite her smaller size, the stunning suites and staterooms are generously spacious and cutting-edge facilities provide endless options for relaxation and enjoyment. Incredible levels of service, magnificent landscapes and exquisite cuisine will exceed your every expectation.

Onboard Experience

Accommodation

Enjoy the picturesque views from the comfort of your own cabin with an Emerald Panorama Balcony Suite. The unique Riverview Suites are located at the back of the ship, affording them floor-to-ceiling windows and an innovative indoor balcony system for endless views at any time of day.

For the ultimate luxury, the Owners Suites provide a bedroom that closes off from the rest of the cabin, a separate lounge area and a glorious outdoor balcony complete with an open-air system, allowing you to soak up your surroundings, whatever the weather. The stunning Emerald Staterooms feature picture windows and the same high-quality facilities as all other cabins, making them excellent value for money.

Dining

From a hearty buffet breakfast to a la carte options, sitting down to another delicious meal will quickly become one of the highlights of your cruise.

Whether you’re enjoying a five-course dining experience or savouring some local delicacies, the exceptional Reflections Restaurant promises an array of irresistible choices. All meals are included in the price of your trip, with complimentary wine, beer and soft drinks available during meal times. Allow the friendly and knowledgeable onboard team to suggest pairings that best suit your cuisine as you take advantage of the complimentary drinks package.

The Terrace is a beautiful outdoor setting in which to embrace alfresco dining as the gentle river breeze refreshes the soul. Located at the front of the ship on the Horizon Deck, this idyllic area is the perfect place to enjoy a cafe-style lunch and take in the sights that unfold around you.

Entertainment

The Horizon Bar & Lounge is the social hub of the vessel and a modern space to socialise and unwind. Catch up over coffee with newfound friends during the daytime or relax in the evening with your favourite cocktail as live piano music creates a special ambience.

There is never a dull moment with further activities ranging from challenging bar quizzes to local performances in a traditional style. The popular crew show takes place after the Farewell Dinner at the end of your cruise and is a lively and memorable occasion for all.
