Our River Cruise Ships | Emerald Waterways

Home> Ships

On April 9th, 2014, our first Star Ship—the Emerald Sky—was christened in the ancient waters of the Black Sea. Docked in Amsterdam, the Emerald Sky sat poised and ready to take the world of river cruising by storm with its sleek design and stylish, modern finishes. Cutting-edge features such as a heated pool with retractable sun roof set the Emerald Sky apart from most other river ships, and it was clear that she was destined become the next industry trendsetter. Chic, innovative, and elegant: all characteristics that needed to be taken into consideration when deciding who to appoint as Godmother of this revolutionary vessel. That is why we were honored to name Twiggy, British style icon and oft-considered world’s “first supermodel,” as the Godmother of the Emerald Sky. Just as Twiggy helped to set the standard for fashion in the 60s, so too would the Emerald Sky now set the benchmark for all river cruise ships to follow.
