Overview

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.

This exciting expansion gives you the opportunity to explore both the North and South of France like never before, with our ships now cruising the beautiful Seine, Rhône, and Saône rivers.
