Designed for guests who like things to move at a slightly faster pace, their exclusive EmeraldACTIVE program provides river cruising guests with the opportunity to experience each exciting destination from a different perspective. Explore rolling vineyards, and cobblestone streets, and even take to the waters on guided active excursions, available at no extra cost on their Europe river cruise collection.
Head onshore and join guided hikes, bike rides, and canoeing experiences, seeing a new side to each European town, city, or village. On board, you’ll have access to your Star-Ship’s wellness and fitness centre, and on selected sailings, you’ll have the opportunity to join your on board wellness team for guided fitness classes.
On board your Star-Ship, Emerald Cruises wellness team is always there to elevate your river-cruising experience. Their activity managers and wellness coaches work closely with their cruise directors to enhance the EmeraldACTIVE program, leading a range of daytime classes on board, such as yoga Pilates, and aqua aerobics.
During your time on board your Star-Ship, you'll have access to bicycles, which will be used on your guided cycling tours, and also available for independent exploration on selected days. And for those heading out on guided hikes, or even an independent stroll, you'll find trekking poles in your suite or stateroom available for use at any time.
Head to the innovative indoor heated pool, complete with a retractable roof, allowing you to enjoy the river breeze on warmer days, and a propulsive current, enabling you to swim for as long as you like. And on the Sun Deck, you'll have time to sharpen your golfing skills at the putting green, and the walking track lets you stretch your legs and get your steps in as you take in the views of the surrounding riverbanks.
