becca4825 Posted June 28, 2021 #1 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I'm looking to book a Danube river cruise for Sept or Oct 2022. I've been leaning toward Avalon- their cabins, excursions and ship atmosphere really appeal to me. However Emerald has an itinerary option that I find intriguing. From the research I've done Emerald and Avalon seem very similar. But I just can't find as many reviews about Emerald. There is a ton of info out there about Avalon, and I just would find it easier to compare the two if I could get a better idea of what Emerald is like. I would love to know if anyone has done a river cruise with Emerald, and how the experience was. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbjornda Posted June 28, 2021 #2 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I don't know if this will help, but here is a comparison of Emerald and Scenic (its parent company): Scenic Vs Emerald: Battle of the River Ships (cruise.co.uk) Some small potatoes but worth noting: If you have Scenic loyalty points you can apply them to Emerald cruises, but not vice-versa, and you won't earn Scenic loyalty points on an Emerald cruise.

becca4825 Posted June 28, 2021 Author #3 Share Posted June 28, 2021 @sbjornda that was actually very helpful, as I read the article and then found more reviews for Emerald on that website. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericosmith Posted June 29, 2021 #4 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We did 15 days on Emerald a few years ago. We were very pleased. Wouldn't hesitate to book again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
