VANCOUVER — Emerald Cruises is offering a group booking special featuring reduced tour conductor credit on all 2021 European and 2020-2021 Mekong river cruises.

The newly formed Emerald Cruises is comprised of the well-known river cruise line Emerald Waterways plus the newly launched Emerald Yacht Cruises.

Agents can earn an increased commission on select 2021 European sailings.

All group booking on qualifying sailings made between now and May 1, 2020 will qualify for a reduced Tour Conductor Credit of one for seven, meaning the eighth guest sails for free.

Additionally, agents booking select departure dates of some of Emerald Waterways’ most popular itineraries, including Danube Delights and Sensations of Lyon and Provence, will also receive 20% commission.

In addition to the perks for agents, travellers booking a 2021 European sailing will receive free roundtrip air (or $1,000 air credit) on 15+ day itineraries, and $295 round trip air per person on 8-14 day itineraries (or $850 air credit). On the Mekong, guests will receive free roundtrip air on 13+ day itineraries. The air offer expires May 14, 2020.

The Emerald Azzurra, the first ship to launch under the Emerald Yacht Cruises brand, is a 100-guest super yacht that will ply the warm waters of the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Red seas when it launches in July 2021 (the tour conductor credit offer does not apply to yacht product including Emerald Azzurra).

Emerald Waterways features nine branded Star-Ships offering river sailings in Europe and on the Mekong, as well as the fully-chartered river ships along the Volga River in Russia (MS Rossia) and on the Nile (MS Hamees).
