Emerald Cruises will launch a new ship, Emerald Astra, in 2026.
The 180-passenger ship will be the seventh in the fleet to sail the Rhine, Moselle and Danube rivers.
In addition, Emeral Cruises will upgrade its existing European river fleet during the 2025 season.
Enhancements include bar and lounge redesigns, iPads in guest rooms and revamped pool, cinema and restaurant spaces.
Emerald Cruises’ 2026 river cruise season will be available to book from early next month.
