Emerald Asia Class

Part of the fleet

Emerald River Cruises

Engineering-led Star-Ships with indoor pools under retractable glass roofs — the contemporary, better-value sibling to Scenic.

Introduced: 2019
Gross tonnage: ~2,000 GT
Capacity: 84 guests

Emerald Harmony was built specifically for the Mekong, with a shallow draught for the low-water season and a large open sun deck with a pool.

Capacity is 84 guests, so village calls and market visits happen in small groups rather than coach parties.

Interiors read colonial-modern rather than European contemporary, and the galley runs a mixed Western and South East Asian menu with a strong local produce programme.

Itineraries link Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap and are almost always sold with land extensions to Angkor Wat and Hanoi.
