- The Douro River: Emerald Radiance and Emerald Nova are uniquely designed to navigate the beautiful, winding waters of Portugal's Douro Valley.
- The Rhône, Saône, and Seine Rivers: Emerald Liberté is specially commissioned to cruise through the heart of France, including Emerald Lumi for the Seine.
