We were looking to book a river cruise in France. Crui.se were advertising an Emerald river cruise, I contacted them and spoke with Rebecca who was very efficient in providing a number of deals to consider. We chose the one that suited us best and Rebecca arranged the cruise quickly and efficiently. Would recommend crui.se. Martin

Casual clothing is always the way to go with comfortable footwear. Check out the likely climate for your cruise dates with our helpful reservations team. Emerald also has a dedicated dress code guide, which provides more detail. There is no requirement to dress up for dinner, which is usually relaxed and informal, although some guests choose to do so for the Welcome and Farewell Dinners.
