Launching in 2027, the brand new Emerald Lumi will take guests on a luxury journey from the heart of Paris to Normandy and beyond. Cruise the Seine River and experience the rich history, artistic charm, and gourmet specialties this region is famed for.

With its innovative custom-built design, Emerald Lumi will unlock access to coveted ports such as Honfluer and Rouen, offering guests the opportunity to step off the ship and wander through these charming towns. Itineraries will be thoughtfully designed to immerse you in the culture and beauty of France with extended stays in key ports for deeper exploration and curated excursions that highlight the regions' art, history, and culinary delights.

Lifts

Lifts are present on each of the Emerald Cruises Star-Ships and service three of the four decks. Only the top deck, which is the Sun Deck, is not serviced, meaning access to the Sun Deck is restricted to the stairs.

Do the excursions require a high level of mobility?

Some shore excursions are conducted from coaches, so it’s important that guests can walk up and down the coach stairs.

Guests with limited mobility should travel with responsible companion, due to the capacity of available crew members during excursions.
