Emerald Destiny deck plans

Emerald Destiny (built in 2017 as Emerald Belle) is the fifth of six Emerald Waterways Star-class ships. Her fleetmates include the sisterships Emerald Star, Emerald Sky, Emerald Sun, Emerald Dawn, Emerald Luna, and Emerald Astra.

Emerald Waterways, established in 2014, is owned by the Australian river cruise and tours company Scenic Tours. Similar to the innovative Viking River Cruises longships, Emerald Waterways ships are designed to compete with ocean cruising by offering a stylish, all-inclusive river cruise experience. Emerald Destiny expands the range of itineraries and sailing dates available to travelers seeking luxury European river voyages.

The Emerald Destiny deck plan includes a total of 91 staterooms accommodating 180 passengers, served by 52 crew members. Like most modern European river cruise ships, she features four passenger decks, an indoor swimming pool that converts into a night cinema (with a sliding glass roof), Bar Lounge, main Dining Room Restaurant, Gym, Spa (massage room), Beauty Salon, complimentary-use bicycles, and one elevator connecting all three cabin decks.

As an all-inclusive riverboat, Emerald Destiny cruise fares cover the following amenities:

• gratuities (both onboard and during shore excursions/tours)
• port taxes
• all transfers to and from the ship
• all shore excursions
• beverages (tea, coffee, soft drinks, bottled water) plus beer and wine by the glass with lunch and dinner
• Wi-Fi Internet access

There is no formal dress code onboard. However, smart casual attire is recommended for dinner (jeans are acceptable, while shorts and flip-flops are not). Emerald Waterways cruises do not feature formal nights.
