Emerald Cruises offering ‘Epic Voyages’ that explore multiple countries

- By Theresa Norton Travelpuls­e

Emerald Cruises has announced new “Epic Voyages” that are 15 to 26 days long.

All “Epic Voyages” combine two or three complement­ary itinerarie­s — complete with transfers between ships when necessary — to create a seamless adventure that visits multiple countries.

The 15-day “Discover the Rhine and Rhone

Rivers” itinerary spans four countries and includes the castle-studded Rhine Gorge and lavender fields of Provence to the historic city centers of Lyon and Amsterdam.

Guests booking the Oct. 8, 2022, sailing will spend a day in Amsterdam before departing to sail the Rhine through the Netherland­s, Germany and Switzerlan­d. In Basel, Switzerlan­d, guests will be transferre­d to Lyon, France, where they will embark on Emerald

Liberté for an eight-day sailing on the Rhone.

Other itinerarie­s include the 16-day “Discover the Treasure of the Danube” between Bucharest and Nuremberg, and the 15-day “Discover the Rivers of France and Portugal” between Nice and Porto.

The new 100-guest superyacht, Emerald Azzurra, due out in January 2022, will operate the 26-day “Discover Gems of the Mediterran­ean Coastlines” that visits four countries in the Western and Eastern Mediterran­ean. Departing from Nice on April 25, 2023, this sailing carries from the French Riviera, down the Western coast of Italy with Corsica and Sicily, to the Greek Isles and Turkey before concluding in Athens.

Guests booking select suite or stateroom categories on 2022 cruises will receive up to 30% off the cost of the booking when paying in full 12 months prior to departure.
