Cruise Line ProgramsModern river Star-Ships and small luxury yachts, with a relaxed, contemporary style.
Emerald Cruises operates river Star-Ships in Europe and Asia and small luxury yachts at sea, with a modern, relaxed style.
Many of its European Star-Ships have a heated indoor pool that becomes a cinema in the evening. At sea, the Emerald yachts carry around a hundred guests and have a marina platform for swimming and water sports.
That range gives us flexible options for groups of different sizes and styles. If you are still weighing lines against each other, the at-sea overview lays out how we compare them.
A signature feature on many river Star-Ships.

Modern, bright interiors throughout the fleet.
Both the river ships and the yachts suit private charters.

Emerald sails the Rhine, Danube, Moselle, Rhône, Douro and other rivers, as well as the Mekong. The yachts sail the Mediterranean, Adriatic and other warm waters.
We will match the ship and route to your dates and group.
Buy the Sea has been placing corporate groups at sea for twenty-six years, across every major line. We know how Emerald works, and we know what to ask for and when to ask for it so that your program gets the ships, the spaces and the dates it needs. That is the part we handle.
Bring us a headcount, a budget and a range of dates. We will come back with real options with Emerald — and across every other line, because we represent all of them and we are paid by the cruise line, never by you. There is no fee, no markup and no obligation. Here is why that matters.
Within reason, and often more of it than planners expect — signage, screens, key cards, venue naming and private events are all on the table. What is possible comes together at negotiation, and we will walk you through it.
Yes, subject to dates. River ships and yachts both carry small numbers of guests, so full charters are very realistic.
Nothing. We are compensated by the cruise line, never by you. Twenty-six years of doing it this way is covered in why Buy the Sea.
