In 2001, the Thomson Emerald cruise ship won the prestigious Daily Express British Cruise award. Twenty-five independent experts voted her "one of the smartest ships in her class, lovingly-maintained and offering outstanding value for money."
Of course, you can expect six meals a day, sumptuous midnight buffets, dazzling cabarets and stylish bars. You'll also find top facilities and comfortable cabins. But what you might not expect is The Emerald's unique on-board ambience. She never loses that friendliness that makes cruising aboard her such a pleasure.
There is a feeling of being at home the moment you step onboard. The cabins are comfortable, the ambience pleasantly relaxed and the welcome is friendly. One thing that you might not expect at home, however, are the facilities.
The Emerald cruise ship is one of those places where it's hard to miss home. Based in Corfu, she gives you the opportunity to enjoy some of the most exciting and innovative itineraries around idyllic islands, ancient cities and breathtaking scenery might all feature in a week's cruise itinerary. Cruise for a little longer and the beauty of the Black Sea or the pyramids of Egypt await you.
Part of the Thomson cruises' fleet, the Emerald is a fun place to be.
