As small-ship cruising continues to rise in popularity, Emerald Cruises ushers in wave season early with a new campaign, Explore the Extraordinary. Running Oct. 1–Dec. 16, travelers booking small-ship river and yacht cruises can enjoy sizable savings and travels across four continents.
Guests booking a 2023 Europe and 2023-2024 Southeast Asia river cruise during the campaign receive a choice of free round-trip airfare or savings of up to $2,000 per couple on the booking, depending on the length of the trip. When booking a sailing of 15 days or more, for example, the popular Splendours of Europe, guests receive €500 of onboard credit per cabin. Additionally, guests who pay in full at the time of booking or 12 months prior to sailing for late 2023 and 2024 trips, receive an extra 10 percent off.
Some favorite river cruises include the eight-day Sensations of Lyon and Provence through the idyllic south of France and the 13-day Wonder of Vietnam, Cambodia and the Mekong between Siem Reap and Ho Chi Minh City.
For 2023 and 2024 luxury yacht cruises onboard the line’s newest vessel Emerald Azzurra and soon-to-launch Emerald Sakara, travelers can receive up to 20 percent off when paying in full at time of booking or 12 months prior to sailing. The yachts carry 100 guests in relaxed elegance, sailing the Mediterranean, Adriatic and Caribbean seas. Popular itineraries include the eight-day Eastern Caribbean with St. Barths, with stops in the charming ports of Martinique, St. Lucia and Guadeloupe. The eight-day Ionian Sea Adventure sails between Athens and Rome.

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
