Our Awards

Evergreen & Emerald Cruises have won many prestigious awards recognising our exceptional quality, innovation, experiences and value.
 
Back in 2014, our custom-built Emerald Waterways Star-Ships were voted “Best New River Ships” in the 2014 Cruise Critic Editors' Picks awards in the inaugural year of operation. Our sister brand Emerald Waterways was crowned “Best For Value” in the 2015 Cruise Critic Editors' Picks awards and has won this award for the past five consecutive years.

We invite you to join Evergreen or our sister company, now known as Emerald Cruises, to enjoy the award-winning experience for yourself.
