“I just wanted to say what a fantastic time we had in Courchevel last week. Your team were superb. I have been on other Christian ski holidays in the past, but nothing compares to the service we received in Courchevel, well done!”

Esmerelda 41Life on board

Where on the ship should you explore first? Your time spent on board can be enjoyed in the comfortable lounge on the Promenade Deck, sipping a cool, refreshing beverage whilst the onboard musician entertains before taking to the dance floor in the evenings or up on the partially covered Sun Deck that is simply perfect for pulling up a chair and letting the stunning scenery pass you by.

The service provided by the staff on the ship is second to none so that you can experience the most out of your time away with us.

Just imagine it now...a cool breeze gently blowing against your face, the air crisp and fresh as lush greenery, picturesque villages and dramatic mountain scenes pass us by as we gently meander along the Danube to reach its fascinating ports of call.

We know the best places to take you and the best sights to show you - this is a holiday that's all about enjoyment.

 

 

CABINSEsmerelda cabin

With so much to see and do, you'll want to spend most of your time gazing out over the water. But that doesn't mean we don't pay attention to our cabins - by staying in any of the 63 outward facing cabins in the Main and Promenade Decks you'll be treated to your own little glimpse of life on the river.

All the cabins are comfortably equipped with private facilities, twin beds, air conditioning/heating, satellite TV and a safety deposit box. We just want to make sure you have an outstanding cruise adventure.

Food & Drink

Esmerelda 31The beauty about cruising is that each morning you wake up in a new and exciting location...well the same can be said about meal times.

A buffet breakfast can be enjoyed overlooking the beautiful tranquil waters, you can lunch whilst meandering through the awe-inspiring Wachau Valley whereas your four-course dinner can be accompanied by a magnificent mountain back-drop.

We even provide morning and afternoon tea and coffee for you to enjoy. This is just such a unique way to sightsee.
