Why We Love These Jewels of the Rhine Itineraries: Sailing the Rhine is like stepping into the pages of a fairy tale – with turreted castles, vineyard-covered hills, and postcard-perfect towns around every bend. These Jewels of the Rhine cruises take you through some of Europe’s most charming spots, from the cobbled lanes of Strasbourg and the medieval old town of Koblenz to the scenic beauty of the Rhine Gorge, where hilltop castles keep watch over the river. There’s history, culture and a touch of romance in every stop – whether you’re exploring Cologne’s striking Gothic cathedral, cruising past half-timbered houses in Rüdesheim, or sipping local wines in the sun.
What It’s Like Cruising with Emerald: Emerald Cruises offers a fresh and modern take on river cruising, with ships that feel more like boutique hotels than traditional riverboats. Life onboard is relaxed and easy-going, with contemporary cabins, panoramic lounges, and even an indoor pool that transforms into a cinema at night. Their cruises include a great mix of guided excursions and free time, so you can dive into local culture or do your own thing. Meals are thoughtfully crafted with locally inspired menus, and drinks are included with lunch and dinner – making it all feel wonderfully seamless.
