Unsure which cruise holiday to book? Emerald Cruises unveils ‘Epic Voyages’ combining two or more travel itineraries

For those struggling to decide which wonderful part of the world to uncover next, Emerald Cruises has released a selection of longer trave duration cruises. Combining two, or even three, amazing river or yacht cruising itineraries, the new ‘Epic Voyages’ offer further exploration for those with a little more time on their hands to holiday.

For a true insight into life on Europe’s rivers, cruise the Rhine, Main and Danube rivers all in one incredible 23-day journey with the Rhine, Main & Danube River Cruise between Bucharest and Amsterdam. Combining two of Emerald Cruises’ most popular journeys, this itinerary takes in the dramatic history and culture of nine countries, including Austria, Croatia, Serbia and Romania. Guests will learn about Bulgarian history while exploring the former capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire, Veliko Tarnovo, while touring with a local guide. Embark on guided hikes to Ivanovo Church and Belogradchik Fortress, and be welcomed into the homes of locals for a unique dining experience in Osijek, Croatia and Bratislava, Slovakia. Be delighted by a choir concert in Arbanasi, a Serbian folklore show and a traditional Bulgarian pastry making workshop. With plenty of included guided city tours, cycling tours, hikes and local vineyard visits and tastings – this itinerary packs a cultural punch.

Guests longing to explore the world’s most beautiful coastlines and wanting longer to enjoy the new luxury superyacht, Emerald Azzurra, have ample options to choose from. The 15-day Discover French & Italian Coastlines itinerary takes guests on an all-encompassing journey of Italy’s stunning Mediterranean coastline when it travels from Dubrovnik to Nice. Uncover the Byzantine, Venetian, and Turkish influences during an included guided tour of Monopoli, bask in the waters of Sicily’s Giardini Naxos or embark on a walking tour of Taormina. Explore the glistening piazzas and waterfront restaurants of the Amalfi Coast, before heading to one of Tuscany’s hidden gems – Porto Ercole. Guests can join a guided tour of Cote d’Azur as the incredible journey comes to an end in glamorous Nice. 

While the 15-day Discover the Eastern Mediterranean itinerary takes guests from Dubrovnik to Athens on a journey through Montenegro, Albania, Greece and Turkey. Highlights include an exclusive concert in a local church in Kotor, a mussel cooking demonstration in a local Albanian restaurant and a walking tour of Corfu Old Town. Explore the stunning coastlines by kayak or stand-up paddleboard, or even head off to explore the Corfiot countryside on a Jeep tour.
