Emerald Waterways is set to launch its first Star-Ship on the Mekong river.
Dawn Quinn, the company?s head of UK trade sales, said: ?Emerald Harmony is an exciting and luxurious addition to our Star-Ship fleet, setting sail in 2019 with three new itineraries. We are looking forward to working with our trade partners to promote the newest Star-Ship, which will bring the innovative features and impressive inclusions that the brand offers on board European river cruises to the Mekong.?
Features of the new Star-Ship will include the line?s signature pool, an Asian-themed Horizon Bar & Lounge with luxurious soft furnishings and Reflections Restaurant, offering a locally-inspired menu that showcases native cuisine from the region.
New and exclusive to Emerald Harmony is the Lotus Lounge, a relaxing area that features seating with low, small tables. Offering just 42 staterooms and suites, on-board accommodation is similar to the company?s European Star-Ships, with four lead-in Emerald Staterooms, 32 Panorama Balcony Suites, four Grand Balcony Suites and two Owner?s Suites, each offering a wrap-around terrace featuring a hot tub.
Another innovative feature is the Star-Ship design itself. Unlike most similar sized Mekong river ships, the Emerald Harmony will be built to allow access to the centre of Ho Chi Minh City, meaning guests will not be required to be coached in from outside the city.
Three itineraries are offered on Harmony; a 15-day 'Majestic Mekong' river cruise and tour, taking in Ho Chi Ming City to Siem Reap; a 19-day 'Treasures & Temples of Vietnam & Cambodia' river cruise and tour, from Hanoi to Siem Reap; and a 23-day 'Grand Tour of Vietnam & Cambodia' river cruise and tour, which includes stops at Hanoi, Halong Bay, Hoi An, Hue and Siem Reap.
