Celebrate Canada, Sail the World

ADVERTORIAL – By Emerald Cruises & Tours

 

This Canada Day, celebrate with a journey that feels effortless from the moment you land—sailing Europe’s iconic rivers in modern luxury on board Emerald Cruises’ award‑winning Star‑Ships. From castles and vineyards to riverside capitals, each day brings a new view, with generous inclusions already built into the fare.

Why Canadians Choose Emerald Cruises – Where Other’s Add On, We Include

Emerald Cruises is known for delivering exceptional inclusions without compromising style or comfort. Many of the essentials that other lines treat as extras are simply part of the experience:

  • Meals with wine and beer at lunch and dinner included
  • Guided excursions, cultural encounters and EmeraldPLUS events included on every sailing
  • Gratuities on board and ashore included—no surprise tip envelopes at the end of the trip
  • Shared airport transfers included for a smooth start and finish
  • Complimentary e‑bikes on most European Star‑Ships for guided or independent exploring

Spacious, thoughtfully designed Star‑Ships, a heated indoor pool that transforms into a cinema on selected ships, and a relaxed, contemporary atmosphere further enhance the journey.
